Smartview 11 to Essbase 7.1.6 connection

Can latest verison of smart view 11.1.3 be used with pre system 9 Essbase 7.1.6.7 server.

Hi,
Comparing the "*Hyperion Product Compatibility Matrix*" for-
Smartview 9.3.1.2 (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/sv_1111300_readme.pdf) &
Smartview 11.1.1.3 (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/sv_93120_readme.pdf),
I believe Smartview 11 isn't compatible for Essbase 7.1.6 connection.
Experts- Please correct me, if you think I'm wrong!

SmartView 11.1.2 keeps dropping the connection

I have an SR on this but figured I would try here as well. I believe this has been thrown over to development. We have installed SmartView 11.1.2 and we can connect and retrieve data. We are on 2008 OS, 64 bit. About every 3 or 4 drills in excel SmartView loses the connection. To get around this we just hit refresh all or sometimes just try it again and it seems to re-connect. Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi,
I checked. Patch solves the problem. But you must install:
- http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=766A6AF7-EC73-40FF-B072-9112BAB119C2&displaylang=en
- then -> patch
Open IIS console and uncheck the Virtual Memory Usage and the Private Memory Usage (On the Application Pools page, select the application pool used by HFM).
Restart all Oracle Hyperion and IIS services.
In our case, these steps helped.
Best regards,

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply.
Actually i have written big reply to u with explaining about the issue. But at the writing reply only, i got an idea to resolve this.
Now i am able to run the Model successfully.
Yes, you are correct. Due to invalid credentials only i am getting this error.
I want to ask you one thing. Actually, at the time configuration i gave password as a password, then my manager wants to change that password to Gxxx@123!
I have changed that password, it is working fine to connect workspace, easconsole and all.
But the issue i seen in creating DataSource(In planning), i am getting error with new password in the Essbase server datails. If i give old password(as password), it is working fine.
So, How can get that new password to work here??
In ODI also, it is the issue. When i am using New password it is not working. With Old password it is working fine.
Thanks,
mady

SmartView 11.1.1.1 fails to connect to Provider Services

Background: Using 11g db, Essbase Spreadsheet Add-In works, Can connect to Admin Server and Essbase with EAS, all Windows services start up fine, installed as 'Deploy Essbase in standalone mode'.
Problems:
1. I get the following error trying to connect the SmartView Add-In in Excel to Provider Services:
Cannot connect to provider. The attempt to connect to the server failed. Make sure the server is running in the specified URL.
Here is my URL: http://localhost:13080/aps/SmartView (I've also tried substituting in my hostname.)
2. I get the following error trying to connect to the Hyperion Provider Server with EAS:
URL http://localhost:13080/aps/APS is not reachable. Please enter another Analytic Provider Services URL.
(I've also tried substituting in my hostname.)
Thanks,
Mark

I installed EPM 11.1.1.2 on *"BOX1"* (Essbase stand alone mode) and EPM11.1.1.2 on *"BOX2"* (Essbase stand alone mode)
The provider server creation is giving me trouble on Box1 as it says *"URL http://Servername:13080/aps/APS is not reachable. PLease enter another Provider Services URL"*
I tried with localhost @servername(as I was trying to connect from the Box1 only) Stil its not able to create.
I went to services and checked the "Hyperion Provider Services - WebApplication" service and I restarted to make it work several times and still the same problem.
Where as, I'm able to create a Provider Server on *"BOX2"*
I need your expertise advise on why this problem is on my *"BOX1"* and how to get rid of this problem?
I checked with netstat -ae command to see the server port# 13080 is listening too.
Any help is well appreciated and very useful for me!!

SmartView 11.1.1.3 fails to connect to Provider Services

Hi All,
When I try this URL http://<ourservername>:13080/aps/smartview, I get the following:
Hyperion Provider Services
That's it!
On a different server of ours, we see this additional information below the Hyperion Provider Services e.g.
Hyperion Provider Services - Release 11.1.1.2.00 Build 117
ESS_ES_HOME: C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\aps
domain file: C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\aps/data/domain.db
essbase.properties: C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\aps/bin/essbase.properties
log console enabled: false
log file enabled: true
log level: WARN
log file name: C:/Hyperion/logs/aps/apsserver.log
is trace enabled: false
Any ideas why this is happening? I have reconfigured the APS server (and it installed fine), but the same issue remains. I can't connect smartview to this server?
Cheers
Derm.

Essbase 11.1.2 Connectivity issue

I successfully completed the installation of EPM 11.1.2 in a distributed environment:
Server A: Foundation Services, Reporting and Analysis, Workspace.
Server B: Essbase Server and Essbase Studio Server
I added the external MSAD authentication directory in Shared Services.
I am able to login to EAS using either the Admin user or my AD user account. I added the Essbase Server but I am not able to expand or create any new application. I have Admin privileges. I am getting an error message stating that the user does not exist.
Also, I am not able to see the Essbase server listed under Application Groups in SS.
Please help!!!!! Am I missing any steps???? Essbase is running. I restarted all the services but it is still not working...
Thank you!

I was able to solve the issue.
I followed another thread with similar issues. I initially set up user directories before installing Essbase which seems to be the cause of the issue. As it was a clean installation I was able to deleted the user groups, un-install Essbase/install Essbase, set up user directories again and I was able to connect!

Essbase Administration Services: Cant connect to Administration Server

Cant connet to Administration Server via EAS console. I would appreciate any hints that might help me overcome this next unknown.
Background follows:
I installed EPMA 11.1.2.2, and then went to the workspace wondering where the sample data was (after I created a sample app). I discovered in docs and forumns that I had to load it through the Essbase Administration Services console. Now I'm trying to get that to work. I installed it after posts revealed that it is part of the client installers (thanks John) package. Now that it is installed I run it, try to login, and get an error message that says "could not connect to Administration Server." I reinstalled the EAS database as a new install to my server.mydomainb.org:1433 via the configurator. Then I redployed all the apps to the app server. And lastly started all of the services. Still I get the same message. I've done this about 4 times hoping that a reconfig will somehow fix something but still no joy. I've also tried loggin in with different names for the server such as myserver:1433 or myserver.mydomain.org:1433 or myserver and none of those helped either.
I have manually started all the services so they appear to be working. I may be missing one but I wouldn't know.
The services that are running include:
Hyperion EPM Server - Web Application
Hyperion EPMA Server
Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management
Hyperion Integration Services
Hyperion Reporting and Analysis Framework
Hyperion Studion Services BPMS bpms1
Some in posts have suggested also going to the logs. 11.1.2.2 docs say that the EAS logs are located at oracle_home\user_projects\domains\epmsystem\servers\EssAdm..Services0\logs\easserver.log. But I found mine at:
<oracle_home>\user_projects\domains\epmsystem1\servers\logs. You will notice that my empsystem is empsystem1 instead. There I found that the easserver.log file is empty but I did find one error in the file EPMServer0.log. The error I found is as follows:
####<Apr 4, 2013 11:42:09 AM MDT> <Error> <JDBC> <SLCBRASSTEST> <EPMServer0> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '18' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'> <<WLS Kernel>> <> <> <1365097329966> <BEA-001112> <Test "select count(*) from SERVERLOGID" set up for pool "eas_datasource" failed with exception: "java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: [FMWGEN][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Invalid object name 'SERVERLOGID'.".>
I'm not sure what to try next so any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

"Hyperion EPM Server - Web Application" indicates that the web apps have been deployed to a single managed server, this means the web apps will be running a default port of 9000, the EAS console is not aware of the port so you will need to include it when you add the server in the console e.g. servername:9000

Essbase 11.1.2 Connectivity

Hello,
I installed 11.1.2 on a windows 2008 R2 server in standalone mode without error. I am able to connect to essbase from EAS if I start essbase from a command prompt but not if I start it through the OPMN using opmnctl startproc ias-component=EssbaseInstanceName. It has been a few years and versions since I have last worked with essbase and I am sure I am missing something.
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance

First of all 2008 R2 is not currently supported, some people have experienced issues when installing on R2, though I can't be certain whether that is why you are getting the issue.
Cheers

Essbase Add-in no connection

Gurus
I have a problem with my Excel Add-in.
I was being able to connect to database till yesterday.
But since yesterday, when I click Essbase - Connect, it does not have any response. When we click Essbase - Connect, we are supposed to get the box where we specify the servername and choose the database and use the username and password to connect. But there is no response at that point.
What could have been wrong?
Thanks for help

Hi John,
Thanks for your reply.
Both ESSBASEPATH AND ARBORPATH are:
C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\ExcelAddin
So is there any thing that could have gone wrong?
I had tried to install Oracle 11g client so I am not sure if it has affected the Excel add-in, but I dont think they are related at all.
And what do you mean by the PATH? You mean the path of Excel-add IN?
Thanks

SmartView working with Essbase: Preserve Formulas

Hi everybody, has anybody achieved to preserve formulas in the same worksheet as one connected to Essbase using Smart View?
The documentation says that "The “Preserve Formula on POV Change” option only applies to data forms in Hyperion Enterprise, Planning, and Financial Management".
I have set options to "Preserve Formula on POV changes" but Im having two main problems:
- Formulas within the same work sheet as retrieved data and its data disappear when Refreshing the cube
- Formulas that reference retrieved data and that are in other worksheets get the cell reference converted to #REF when Refreshing the cube.
I guess that both problems are because this incompatibility between Smart View and Essbase (It should work with Planning and HFM)
Thanks in advance

But it's a little bit strange because formula and associated data are only removed when i close, save the excel file, open it agan and do a refresh.
Then, once the formula and its data has disappear, if I create the formulas again and i do a refresh, formulas are still there, then if save the file, close it, open, refresh... again disappear
Thanks

SmartView 11.1.1.2 Data Source Connection Manager is Disabled.

I recently did a fresh install of Oracle Hyperion EPM 11.1.1.2 in a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server (64-bit) environment.
I'm now having problems running Smart View in this environment.
When I attempt to connect to a cube, from within Excel, the Data Source Manager appears in the right-hand pane, but I can't interact with it. Also, nothing at all appears in the Data Source Manager pane.
I've duplicated this problem in a Windows 7 RC1 64-bit environment as well (Yes, I know. It's not supported).
This looks like some sort of Active X issue.
I am running Office 2007 SP1. However, applying the latest MS Office updates did not alleviate the issue. I also enabled macros and active x controls through the "Trust Center", but that did not help either.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alan Farkas

Hello all,
Nice to know misery has lots of company. Having the same problem. I've gotten lots of suggestions and have tried everything short of reinstalling OS. The strange thing is that it was working at initially but my laptop crashed and I reinstalled everything. This problem appeared after the reinstall.
I'll keep trying and will let you know if the OS reinstall does the trick...
If anyone else comes up with something better - please post.
Thanks,
Frank

Slow performance in Smartview retrieval in Essbase ASO Application

Hi,
I am not able to retreive in Smartview for ASO application when taken Bottom- all retreivals for Product dimension (propertiy set as multiple hierarchies enabled) that has 17000 members under it and keeping all other 11 dimensions at top level.
Accounts has 9000 members in which 9 members have MDX formulas
Scenario has 65 members in which 48 members have MDX formulas
It also displays session timeout error while drilling down to all bottom levels in Product dimension keeping all other dimensions at top level in Smartview.
I was able to retreive using Excel Add-in but it took around 15 minutes.
Is there any way to reduce the smartview retreival times in ASO application? Please advice.
Thanks in advance
Shyam

You can try creating aggregate views
However it may be the MDX formulas which may not have been optimized - try to zero on the member formulas which may be causing this. Try to retrieve set of accounts and then check.
Assuming that your timeout registry settings (ReceiveTimeout, KeepAliveTimeout, ServerInfoTimeout ) are properly set

Sunil

Essbase connection w.r.t Smartview and Excel add-in

donno if this is the right place for this thread, I thought planning experts are experienced with both smartview and excel add-ins
what is the protocol used behind the scene in both ways (HTTP, RMI, TCO/IP) and which one takes less resources and works faster
to serve better interms of performance while connected to essbase? that I know we add URL for conneceting to essbase thru aps for a
smartview essbase connection and we directly connect to essbase in essbase excel add-in connection.
any help is much appreciated!
-Ram

I think Essbase Excel add-in connects through TCP/IP whereas Smartview connects via web services (http).
Excel add-in should be faster as it speaks directly with Essbase as opposed to Smartview which connects Essbase through another service (APS). But Smartview comes with its own advantages (i.e. better integration, smoother user experience etc.)
Cheers,
Alp
