SmartView member selection problem

Hi,
I am facing an issue in Smartview. I am using SmartView 11.1.2.1. I am unsure if this is how it actually works or if it is an issue.
Say, I have the following hierarchy:
A has a child B and B has a child C
And if the user has access to only A and C, when I manually drill down by double clicking on A, I get C. But if I select A and choose 'Member Selection', I do not see member C,under A, for selection.
Is this a known issue ??
Please help.
Thanks.

This would be expected behavior for a design like this. At a point in time your security requirements are such that it would be overly intensive for Smart View to work as you are asking it to.
Either grant read access to B or understand you will have the issue you have illustrated.

  • Removing Members from Excel Add-in (or Smartview) Member Selection Options

    The users of my system have write access to some scenarios, read access to others, and no access to the rest. I would like the Scenarios for which the users have no access to not show up in the member selection options in Excel Add-in (similar to how they will not show up in Forms). Our security settings obviously prevent them from seeing the data itself, but we don't want them to see certain Scenarios at all (even the member names). We've dealt with this issue in Financial Reporting by manually specifying what the POV options are, but we can't do the same with Excel Add-in or Smartview.
    Is this possible, or are these Add-ins just not smart enough to interpret the security?

    I sugget you look at metaread filters. they would prevent users from seeing members they don't have access to (one exception is they might see parents they don't have access to if they are required to navigate to the hierarchy they do have access to

  • UDA Based member selection - problem with LINK command

    Hi,
    I have written a script to retrieve the data from Essbase based on a particular value.
    But, when i want to specify a particular member and use the LINK command, am not succeeding.
    e.g.
    I am able to get the data when i write
    <LINK(
    <UDA(product, "pizza")
    AND
    <LEV(product, 2))
    but unable to get the data, if i write
    <LINK(
    <UDA(product, "pizza")
    AND
    <LEV(product, 0)
    AND
    <IDESCENDANTS (Product, "Pizza Cheese"))
    where pizza is the UDA value and Pizza Cheese is a member of the dimension Product.

    The first thing you need to do is make sure all your 'invalid' drop down rows are sorted to the bottom.  This can be accomplished by adding "RowHeight() D" as the first sort criteria in your drop down DataWindow.  When your code fires to set the detail height make sure a Sort() is executed at the end. After that you should only need code in the ItemChanged event which checks the value.  If it is not good then reject it (RETURN 1) and the original will be set back.
    The reason for all of this is so you won't have to worry about if the user was scrolling up or down in the drop down.  All you care about is they got to a value that is not valid and you reject it.  If you hide rows in between other valid rows then your logic would have to know what the user did (ie. Up Arrow, Down Arrow).  You would then need to skip those values until they got to a valid one otherwise they could not scroll to the next item in the visible list.

  • Find Next button is not working in member selection for Smartview V11.1.2.1

    Hello,
    Quite urgent.
    When group of users select Smartview --> Member Selection --> "FindNext" or "Find" button is not working.
    The same option is working fine with my credentials. But problem exists for set of 3 users.
    Please suggest asap.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Tej

    Hi Iain,
    Thanks for your reply.
    * All 3 users are part of same group.
    * Created user with similar group and checked for member selection option to verify "Find Next" button functionality. It worked fine.
    * Verified filters assigned to this group. No filters are assigned.
    * Checked for version again - Version is V11.1.2.1.00 (Build 271). It is exactly same as other systems where the functionality is working fine.
    * Installation is carried out by company IT team as administrator, so that can not be an issue.
    kindly suggest if you have any other inputs to be verified.
    Best Regards,

  • Does Member Selection (SmartView) == Retrieve (Excel AddIn)

    I just purchased the "Look Smarter.." book and it starts off by referring to a 'Retrieve' function in the Excel Add-In that pulls dimensions, member and associated data-values from an Essbase db (in my case Sample:Basic). I however have the SmartView Add-In running on Excel 2007, and there isn't any 'Retrieve' function that I can see.. The closest I can find is something called "Member Selection" that can be used to pull in dimension/members names. However this does not seem to pull in any actual data for these dimensions/members. I have already loaded the Sample:Basic db with data, so it's in there somewhere. I just need to know how to pull it all into Excel so that I can continue following along with Mr. Roske!
    Appreciate any input.
    thanks,
    Akshay

    Cameron,
    I followed your steps EXACTLY, but it only displays the Year and Market dimensions.. no 133980 data value! Just to confirm that I have the correct sequence, I did the following in order:
    1. loaded data.txt into Demo:Basic in EAS
    2. ran an 'Execute Calculation' of the 'default' calc script in EAS.
    3. opened a fresh Excel workbook and connected to Demo:Basic and activated it
    4. clicked on Refresh.
    The only other thing that happens is that a little window with drag-and-drop for 'Product' , 'Account' etc. shows up on the sheet. I tried to do a drag-and-drop of these extra dimensions, followed by another Refresh, but still no data value(s) appear.
    The funny thing is everything work perfectly when I use the Excel-Addin instead of SmartView! In fact, when I use Excel-Addin, the 133980 shows up even if I don't explicitly run the default calc script. So, I have a feeling that my problem is localized to SmartView.
    thanks,
    Akshay

  • SmartView and member selection

    Hi,
    I am trying in SmarView with the option Member Selection creates groups with or.
    For example:
    I want to create the follow group: From my Product dimension I want
    All the level0 OR member with UDA=first
    I only can create
    All the level0 AND member with UDA=first
    How does anybody try to create a group in member selection with OR?

  • Member selection xml is malformed, can't initialise dialog

    Hi,
    when I try to use a valid web form in smartview it works, until I try to change the default form variable to refresh data at which point I get; - Member selection xml is malformed, can't initialise dialog
    11.1.2.1.00 (Build 271) is my version.
    Anyone know a fix?
    thanks,
    Robert.

    Hi again.
    On further analysis this only manifests in our Entity dimension, the other dimensions' form variables function as they should.
    Is your question about substitution variables aimed at the underlying data content of the dimension, rather than the naming of the form variable, are you indicating that there are certain restrictive characters that if they appear in the data can cause this problem??
    If so is " all I need to look for, or are there any other characters (& : )? that can cause problems??
    thanks again,
    Robert.

  • Member Selection issue Smart View 11.1.2.1.102

    Hi there!
    I am experiencing an issue with several different cubes when accessing the member selection function in Smart View version 11.1.2.1.102. The issue is isolated to 4 Essbase cubes, but among the 4 are both ASO & BSO.
    When I highlight the top, left-most Dimension name and click member selection, NO member names display and the dropdown list is unavailable. As soon as the given Dimension is moved out of the POV, I am able to see the full member list. This also means that the member that has moved into the top, left-most position now has the issue of not being able to select any members (certain dimensions are fine no matter their position).
    I am able to move members around by pivoting the dimension and the member selection function behaves normally for some, but the issue pops back up as soon the dimension is moved back to the POV position.
    If anyone has run into this issue with SmartView before and has a fix, please let me know. I would be happy to clarify my issue if anyone is unclear on what exactly I am trying to describe.
    Thank you for your time!

    This was a bug in 11.1.2.1.102. I'm not sure if it was fixed in 11.1.2.1.103 or 11.1.2.2 (I think 11.1.2.103)
    It does not hurt you to upgrade to a higher version of Smart View

  • Member Selection Button Fails in Excel

    Has anybody run into a situation where the Member Selection button does not work in Excel 2007? When someone tries to use the button Excel simply freezes forcing the users to re-boot the computer. This is happening on a handful of Corporate users making it extremely difficult to examine their computers for any length of time. For the four users in question they are using Excel 2007 (some with Service Pack 2, some without), Windows XP, and SmartView 11.1.1.3. I was able to test if 11.1.1.3.05 would help and it does not. We are using the 11.1.1.3 version of the Hyperion Suite: HFM, Planning, Essbase, etc. I tend to think it is a user-specific issue but I could not put my finger on it: specific Excel add-ons, Windows issues, etc. When I was working with Oracle Support they were focusing on Essbase and its setup but I proved that this issue happens in HFM and not just HPL/Essbase.
    Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
    Roman

    Thanks everyone for replying to this message. We could never find a viable solution so we decided to re-image the computers/laptops of the handful of users with this issue. This seemed to do the trick. At this point we think that there was something interfering on the specific machines that we could not identify.

  • Deleting comments for multiple dimension member selection

    Hi all,
    When using the package (using /CPMB/CLEAR) to delete data and comments (TASK(/CPMB/CLEAR_COMMENTS_FOR_CLEAR,ENABLETASK,1)), there seems to be a problem to delete comments when using a multiple member selection. When selecting <all> or a single dimension member for a given dimension, data and comments are effectively deleted. However, when selecting eg 2 members, the data is deleted, but the comments remain in the comment tables. Any ideas on how to solve this, without running the package x-times when comments on x members need to be deleted?
    Kind Regards,
    Christophe

    Hi,
    I don't know whether your question is answered or not . Please look into the following which may be helpful to you.
    As far as i know u can
    1. Delete Comments selecting " ALL" member selection.
    2. Delete comment selecting " SINGLE MEMBER "  --> _Multiple member selection is not supported in NW._
    Please look into the following SAP Note on this which may be useful to convince the client:

  • Select Problem For 'Back Menus' - Zen V P

    Just got the Zen V Plus and tried to set the time/date. Followed the 'guide' and after the time/date screen pressed the 'back button'. Got the Set Alarm/Date/Time (etc) menu but when I selected an option (moved joystick down to desired option then pressed the joystick) the time/date display came up and I was NOT ABLE to set the date. Same thing occurred trying to set the date (tried it several times and it worked once .... then attempted again - several times (4) but it only worked once). Turns out I have the same problem with any option in ANY 'back' menu. Suggestion?
    Do I have a defecti've unit (can't be the 'operator' who is defecti've! haha)? Should I return it and try another?
    Actually not that interested in playing music .... it's more for playing .wma(DRM) book files.

    Latest ... updated my firmware (to ZENVPlus_PCFW_P4S_L2___0.exe) and it fixed the select problem for SET DATE/TIME etc however
    the SELECT procedure doesn't always work for 'back button' menus. Example: tried to set a bookmark... following procedure in 'guide', pressed 'back button' and held it, from 'NOW PLAYING' screen - works 2 out of 5 times. Most of the time, pressing and holding takes you back to the previous menu - not to the 'back' (or in this case the SET BOOKMARK) menu. Sounds like something for the next version of firmware ... the code doesn't always set an internal timer correctly (am a programmer of 30 years ... part of that time pgmmng firmware).

  • Hyperion Financial Reports - Member selection issue

    Hi,
    We are using Hyperion suite 9.2.0.3. We get an error during Member selection in POV when executing a book or report. The member selection window looks blank.
    We have tried restarting the services of Financial report and Essbase. But no luck.
    Can someone help us in getting this issue resolved.
    Thanks,
    Sethu

    I'm not sure I have a good answer for you, but in my experience blank screens are usually caused by failing weblogic, apache, or a firewall setting.
    You might have better success getting an answer in the Hyperion Query and Reporting forum.
