Smart View

Hi,
I have a strange problem.
One of our users have a problem with logging into Essbase cube via Smart View, but it those not generate any errors, just do not log in user, just like in case of invalid credentials.
Other users can connect from that machine without any problems.
In Essbase log i see only something like that.

You probably have suppression options turned on in the 'Data Options' tab of the 'Options' dialog, and there is no non-#Missing data in the grid as currently defined.

Can't load data through smart view (ad hoc analysis)

Hi,
There is EPM application where I want to give ability to planners to load data through smart view (ad hoc analysis). In Shared Services there are four options in
EssbaseCluster-1: Administrator, Create/Delete Application, Server Access, Provisioning Manager. Only Administrator can submit data in smart view (ad-hoc analysis). But I don't want to grant Essbase administrator to planners, I'm just interested to give them ability to load data through ad-hoc analysis. Please suggest!

I take that you refreshed the Planning security, If not refresh the security of those users. Managing Security Filters
Check in EAS whether those filters are created with "Write" permissions.

Oracle Smart View 11.1.2.5.400 prompt bug still not resolved?

Good morning,
in our company we have OBIEE 11.1.1.7.140715 and we are testing Oracle Smart View 11.1.2.5.400 (Build 376) on Excel 2007 32 bit and Excel 2013 64 bit to allow our final users to work more easily.
Unfortunately almost all of our reports contains prompts and when we try to insert an object in the Excel worksheet we see the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object” and Excel hangs.
Is there any solution?
Many thanks.

Smart View error logging in to an application

Hello,
I successfully installed Smart View on a computer with Windows XP SP3. I can connect to the data source, but when I try to connect to an application, after entering the username and password, an error pops up: "Requested operation failed. Error: java.lang.NullPointerException"
Do anybody know the issue?
Thanks!

Hi,
Are you connecting to a Planning or Essbase datasource connection?
Can you try connecting to other DS connections to see if it works?
If connecting to an Essbase datasource, have you configured your APS correctly?

Not able to export web analysis report to excel smart view from workspace

Not able to export web analysis report to excel smart view from workspace.
Error :Web launch operation has been cancelled.
Can anyone help me to resolve this issues

I realized that I can put a block in WebI and then I can pull that in excel alongside of static header, after putting the question.
My interest to know whether it is by design in XI 3.0 or it is an issue. But by the replies it seems to me like it is by design.
@Anis: I can't go for header as part of Body. Because this report is viewed in Web by many other users. I can't have separate report for Live office, it is a restriction for me. If I use the header in body, it wont look good I guess.

Office 365 Web Apps are not supported and cannot be supported as there is no platform for add-in's in that environment. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13602
Most Office 365 uses cases and users end up with Office installed on the desktop and at that point we are talking about normal Office Support. Right now it is up to the Office 365 administrator to determine the version of Office to be used by their 365 users. http://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-enterprises/ff637585.aspx
Short answer is that Smart View does not support Office 365 Web Apps and there are no plans to support the Web Apps.

I've experiencied similiar problems, though other users may have found a better solution, I've unlocked the spreadsheat, refreshed, and then relocked via a VBA macro. A button object at the top of the spreadsheet was added to make it easier for the users use as well. If there is a better solution I am very interested in this as well.

How to see Shared Members in Smart View on Ad-hoc Analysis mode

Hi All,
We are using Hyperion Planning v 11.1.1.3.
For the alternate hierarchy we have created shared members. But in Smart View we are unable to see Shared members hierarchy in Ad-hoc analysis mode.
Is this limitation in Hyperion Planning?
Or
Is there any way to see shared members Hierarchy in Smart View in Ad-hoc analysis mode?
It is urgent requirement Please let me know as early as possible
Thanks in Advance!!!

When you say open data form in Ad-hoc mode, can you do that? I think when you select Ad-hoc mode, you are basically connecting to Essbase and therefore need to manually select the members. (of course, I've got a 11.1.2 env right now so not too sure of 11.1.1.3)
I'm able to just go to Member Selection and select whatever hierarchy i want, Shared or Stored, when I'm connected to Essbase. When connecting to Planning, I dont have any option of opening the form as Ad-hoc mode.
Can you see the hierarchy if selecting the members using Essbase connection and not planning?
Cheers,
Abhishek

"Open in Smart View" option. Hyperion Planning version 11.1.1.3

Failure to download planning form to Smart View using the "Open in Smart View" option. Hyperion Planning version 11.1.1.3. Error message "Web launch operation has been cancelled.
Your feedback is appreciated.

I understand you are on 11.1.1.3.
However, this is documented in the Known Issues section of the Smart View 11.1.2.1 readme and could be worth a try:
When you try to open a Planning web form in Smart View through Workspace, you may get this error: “Web launch operation has been cancelled.” This happens if Essbase has not been added as a server in Shared Connections. Workaround: Open the Smart View Panel in Smart View and add an Essbase server as described in the online help or "Adding Essbase Servers" in chapter 2 of the Smart View User's Guide.

Attributes Not Working in Smart View

Hi All,
I have an ASO database that has attributes on the Cost Center dimension. In EPMA and in EAS, the attributes are correctly shown. When I pull data in Smart View for a specific cost center, I see data. When I apply the correct attribute, the data comes back as "N/A". I know for a fact that this cost center IS tagged as the attribute I am pulling, but it will not show in Smart View as belonging to that attribute. I am using version 11.1.2.3 and Smart View version 11.1.2.3.000 (Build 157).
Any thoughts?

Hello,
this is indeed strange. Not a real answer, but here are some suggestions to get more details:
Case sensitive?
What was the attribute of this cost center before?
Try a report on this cost center with all attributes. Does one work?
Try a different front end tool.
From EPMA do a full deploy (make sure you have saved you essbase objects to a save location)
Does it work?
Change the Attribute and deploy it again. Does it work?
If you found it, please update this here, so others will be able to find the solution.

Can't access "Range Retrieval" & "Butterfly report" features in smart view

Hi Experts,
I need your help regarding enabling new features of smart view.
I am not able to use the following feature of smart view:
- Range Retrieval
- Butterfly report
Do I have to configure any settings to enable this feature??
Currently I am using the following:
smart view client: 11.1.2.2.00
smart view provider: 11.1.2.1.00
Essbase: not sure (will try to get the info if needed)
Thanks in advance experts

Hi Glenn,
Thank you for your response.
That must be the cause.
I saw a documentation that the smart view 11.1.2.2 is compatible with service provider 11.1.2.X,
but did not mention any loss in functionality for earlier versions like 11.1.2.1.00.
maybe I missed it.
Thanks again for your help

'Smart view' in iTunes

The only thing that is stopping me from switching from WinAmp to iTunes is the 'Smart View' feature in Winamp, which I don't believe is used by many people but which I find extremely useful.
Let me explain:
In Winamp, I have set up some dynamic playlists, that are generated based on a query that extracts Genre information to build the list. I have playlists for chilled, heavy, jazzy, folky, sleepy music etc. and any new music that I add to the library is automatically added to the playlist. For example, the query for my 'Sleepy' music looks like this:
genre = "Classical" OR (artist = "Sigur Rós" AND album !="Von Brigði") OR genre HAS "Ambient" OR genre = "Downtempo" OR artist="Mike Oldfield" OR genre="Trip-Hop"
This means that ANY new music falling into the above categories is automatically added and I rarely have to update the query unless there is a specific artist whose music I would like to add to the list but which does not fall into one of the aforementioned genres. Notice how the query above specifically mentions the album "Von Brigði" - this is an excluder, as I had noticed that tracks from this album were always waking me up when they came on (it's a remix album)
Anyway, the point is, I'm soon to get a Mac and will have to leave Winamp behind. Is there any way of doing a similar thing in iTunes?

in iTunes, it's called a _*smart playlist*_.

Some users not seeing all of a web form in Smart View Excel 11.1.2?

I am on Planning 11.1.2 and I have an end user who, when he opens a web form in Excel using Smart View, he only sees about 1/3 of the entire form. If in the Oracle/Planning web, the form is fine. When he uses my machine, he sees the entire web form in Smart View Excel. Is there a setting on his Excel I need to change?
Thanks.

It's a limitation, if you will, of the way JDeveloper works. It essentially runs your JSF page in order to get the rendering. At design time, the phase listener is obviously messing things up since you're not in a proper secured environment - hence the workaround to bypass your phase listener at design time.

HFM Data Form in Smart View - Improper Suppression

We have several data forms that are opened by a group of controllers every month to load forecast information to HFM. This data form is opened by all of these users in Excel and submitted back to HFM via Smart View.
We have instructed all of the users to turn off ALL suppression while working with the data forms because there are some invalid intersections for ICP based on the input entity. The form is rendering properly for all users but one. When he opens the data form it appears to show all of the lines, but then once it fully loads, it is removing/suppressing one line that is an invalid intersection. In checking his Smart View options, I can clearly say that he does not have ANY of the suppression options in use.
Has anyone experienced this issue? Are there any workarounds? Why would this only happen for one user when 10 others have no issue when using the same file/form/options?
Your help is appreciated, as always!
Scott

Hi Scott,
If this is only for one user, I doubt something wrong in his profile.
Ask your IT to have his profile recreated to see if the issue disappears.
Hope this helps,
Thank you,

Filtering by attributes in Smart view on Cloud

Dear all,
We are working on the Planning and Budgeting Cloud Services and we have a question regarding the filtering by attributes in smart view.
We tried to create a report filtering by attribute but this option is not available in the Smart view Member selection.
However, filtering by attribute is available from a form.
Could yo please help us with this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Marta

hi Marta,
The use of attributes in PBCS is not available in Smart View nor Financial Reporting Studio. I am also trying to figure out a workaround as this is critical for reporting purposes. The two links below explain the issue.
