Smartview POV using 11.1.2.1.00

is there a way to display the member name used in a POV in version 11.1.2.1.00. For example, Account is in the POV so users can select the account they want to view. however, they also want the name of the account they are using in the report so when they print it out, it would show it. 11.1.2.1.00 only have three "Hs*" functions and it doesn't allow me to get it from the POV.

Hi Shantan,
I am no Infrastructure expert but my guess is that you would have to possibly reinstall the services.
Just to get an understanding of the issue what is it you think has happened that makes you belive that the services may have been lost. In other words what was changed from when you last had them working?

SmartView POV Manager in Power Point

Hi All,
I'm trying to past and copy data from a SmartView report developed in Excel to a Power Point slide.
The data are correctly copied and dispayed but every time I past a figure SmartView generates a new Query displayed in the Power Point POV Manager.
Even if I cancel the pasted figure the Query remains in the POV Manager , this means that I have a lot of these query that I don't use anymore.
How can I delete old query that are no longer used?
Thank you in advance

Hi,
What version are you connecting to V11, 9.3.x ?
What source are you connecting to Planning, Essbase ?
An example in V11 would you enter adhoc analysis mode and this will return the default POV, you should also get a floating toolbar with POV on it, you can select one of the dimensions and then select .... and it will open the member selection window where you can choose a member.
In 11 to use the POV manager, right click the application you are connected to and choose add to favourites, then go to the POV manager, there should be Active in the right hand window, double click it and a connection should appear, double click the connection and a POV window should be displayed, now you can click on a dimension and click the member selector and you will be able to select a member.
It should be around the same sort of process of other versions, not exactly the same I know.
Cheers

Hide SmartView POV on Excel 2010

Is there a solution for hiding the POV in Excel 2010 or 2007?
In Excel 2003 you could use
CommanBars("POV Sheet1_1").visible=false
but in 2007 or 2010 it doesn't work. Something else?

Thanks a lot. But however is strange than if you list the CommandBar objects names, you'll find also the POVs ones!
The only solution is to move to the latest version of smartview.
Thanks

SmartView POV issue

I have just had the SmartView add-in installed on my laptop running Windows 7 and Office 2010. Whenever I open a spreasheet linked to the Essbase server, the POV pop-up window keeps flashing constantly and I cannot get it to stop, which makes the spreadsheet almost impossible to use. What might be happening to me?

OK we are running this configuration on plenty of machines and do not see this. Has anyone opened an SR or is there a bug logged? We will take a look but without seeing this or having a reproducible case it is going to be hard to fix.
If anyone who see this can provide the steps to reproduce that would be a great start, a logged SR would be a bonus.

Smartview VBA - Using HypCreateConnection to connect to different Providers

Hello,
I am currently working with Smartview 11.1.1.3.500. I am trying to build some code that will allow me to switch between our production and test environments that are on different APS URLs, rather than having to go into the options and typing in the server information everytime I need to switch. It looks like the HypCreateConnection function would be the one that would allow me to do this, but I'm not sure if I'm using it correctly. I am trying to send the Prod or Test APS URL and database info into the vtProviderURL and vtServerName parameters.
HypCreateConnection(Empty, [userName], [userPass], HYP_ESSBASE, [Prod/Test APS URL], [Prod/Test Server Info], [AppName],[DB Name], [Prod/Test Name] , "Analytic Provider Services")
However it seems that despite passing the URL to the function, the connection is using the information that is saved in the "Default URL" box in the "Hyperion Provider Service URL" section, in the "Ad Hoc" tab of the Hyperion Options window, which is where I've been manually typing in the Prod or Test URL everytime I need to retrieve their respective data.
The result is that after running my code, the "Smart View Data Source Manager" indicates that the APS URL being connected to is what was saved in my options, rather than my code.
Any help would be appreciated

I just realized that this is should be in the Smart View forum. Admins, feel free to move this thread.
Edited by: 1002778 on Apr 26, 2013 1:21 PM

I tried creating a connection and connecting and it is working for me. This is the macro that i used.
Sub create_connect()
sts = HypCreateConnection("Sheet2", "username", "password", HYP_ESSBASE, "http://testservername:19000/aps/APS", "testessbase", "app", "db", "App:DB", "Test Cube1")
sts = HypConnect(Empty, "username", "password", "App:DB")
End SubRegards

SmartView connections using load balancing

Is there a way to create a connection in SmartView to the Planning application that uses the load balancing functionality? When we log into the Planning web application we have a connection that provides load balancing between the 2 Planning servers. It appears that the only connection you can provide in SV for Planning is a direct connection to a web server like this: http(s)://<servername>:8300/HyperionPlanning/SmartView.

I did a second look at my configuration and it actually looks like Workspace is the only Smartview connection that I have load balanced. For Planning, once connected to the Hyperion Provider Service URL the Planning applications show under the Common Provider Connections. The Planning connections point to the URL of the APS.....which is just like what you use. http://servername:8300/HyperionPlanning/SmartView
Reading through the EPM High Availability Guide, it appears that it can be done for APS but it seems that might no longer support Planning:
The following list specifies supported clustering methodologies for EPM System product and components (with sublists for components) and options for removing single points of failure from the architecture and maintaining consistent performance through load balancing.
Oracle Essbase—Clustering with Oracle Hyperion Provider Services for high availability and load balancing
Note: High availability for Essbase with Provider Services does not support write-back.
See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Manual Deployment Guide.
- Essbase Administration Services—None
- Oracle Essbase Integration Services Server—None
- Essbase services
- Oracle Essbase Studio Server—None
- Essbase services—Provider Services clustering for high availability and load-balancing (read-only)
See Chapter 3, “Clustering EPM System Products with Proprietary Application Servers.”
- Provider Services Web application—Java application server clustering for high availability and load-balancing
See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Manual Deployment
Guide.
Clustering with Provider Services
If Essbase is clustered with Provider Services and no third-party tool:
- Smart View must be used rather than an Excel add-in.
- Essbase has no write-back capability and should be used for reporting only; therefore, Oracle Hyperion Planning, Fusion Edition is not supported.
- Nodes must be loaded and calculated individually.

SmartView addin using VB

Has anyone seen a problem when using the Smartview addin with VB? Recently upgraded the SV patch to (9.3.1.6) to fix Excel 2007 from shutting down abnormally.
I have a problem using the VB to copy/paste data with the addin. I can get the entire code to perform correctly if I disable the addin. However, that is defeating the purpose of the automation. I have it set up to connect, retrieve, then copy/paste values into a new workbook to send to users.

I tried using the code in the supplied example, and I am still unable to export to Excel.
I am getting an output file, but it is 0 bytes in size (empty file).
If I change the export type to crReportExportFormatTabSeparatedText, then I get a file, an ugly file, but it does have the data.
Here is the code as it looks now
01   Dim myBytes As ByteArray
02   If strExpType = "14" Then ' word format
03 myBytes = rcd.PrintOutputController.Export(CrReportExportFormatEnum.crReportExportFormatMSWord)
04   ElseIf strExpType = "30" Or strExpType = "27" Then ' excel format
05 Dim exportOptions As New CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.ExportOptions
06 exportOptions.ExportFormatType = CrReportExportFormatEnum.crReportExportFormatMSExcel
07 Dim ExcelexportOptions As New ExcelExportFormatOptions
08 ExcelexportOptions.BaseAreaGroupNumber = 1
09 ExcelexportOptions.BaseAreaType = CrAreaSectionKindEnum.crAreaSectionKindReportHeader
10 ExcelexportOptions.ConstantColWidth = 20
11 ExcelexportOptions.ConvertDatesToStrings = True
12 ExcelexportOptions.StartPageNumber = 1
13 ExcelexportOptions.EndPageNumber = 5
14 ExcelexportOptions.ExcelTabHasColumnHeadings = True
15 ExcelexportOptions.ExportPageAreaPairType = CrExportPageAreaKindEnum.crExportPageAreaKindForEachPage
16 ExcelexportOptions.ExportPageBreaks = True
17 ExcelexportOptions.MaintainRelativeObjectPosition = True
18 ExcelexportOptions.ShowGridlines = False
19 ExcelexportOptions.UseConstantColWidth = True
20
21 exportOptions.FormatOptions = ExcelexportOptions
22
23 myBytes = rcd.PrintOutputController.ExportEx(exportOptions)
24   Else ' PDF Format
25 myBytes = rcd.PrintOutputController.Export(CrReportExportFormatEnum.crReportExportFormatPDF)
26   End If
Again, changing line 06 to
    exportOptions.ExportFormatType = CrReportExportFormatEnum.crReportExportFormatTabSeparatedText
produces results.

5200: FR Essbase Report - POV Error

Hi All,
One of our user (non-admin) is getting the below POV error when he tried to run a FR Essbase report,
"5200:Error executing query :;has Pov Dims=0;pov XML=<?xml version ="1.0"?><datasources></datasources>"
we tried the following actions as a part of trouble shooting, but nothing worked so far,
- Verified the File --> Preferences in workspace and the POV settings is ON
- Reset the user POV using ManageUserPOV.cmd
- Deprovisioned & reprovisioned the user
- Verified the user security access
- we are able to run the report with other admin & non-admin logins
Kindly suggest us with a solution, if you have faced this error in your past.
Thanks,
Siva

Try to reset his POV using the HYPERION_HOME\BIPlus\bin\ManageUserPOV.cmd utility.
You need to alter the ManageUserPOV.properties file to indicate his/her user ID

Hi All,
I'm creating a SmartView Report using HsgetValue() function. When i Refresh the data is getting displayed correctly, but giving pop up warning that Essbase Error (1020047): A column item conflicts with a Row item
Why it is happening ? Can anyone help ?
Also how i can insert graphs in the same SmartView HsGetvlaue() Report. The Graphs should display / Change based on the data.
Thanks,

Which version of SmartView your are using , in SmartView 11.1.2.1 this is a known bug.
Thanks,

Financial Reports - Task- Setup User POV

Hi
In FR when we select the members for a User POV using Task->Setup User POV........................Does the list of members apply to this particular report or all reports with this database connection.
For every report the User prompt Members for a DIm might be different.....but when the members are selected for a particular Dim in a report......& when i open other report these selected members of earlier report of same Dim earlier selected are reflecting.
Plz clarify..
hope im clear.
Thnx

Financial Reporting keeps the POV settings for that session for dimensions.
For example, if the user has selected account Gross Margin, in the POV for the first report, every other report for the rest of that session that has account in the POV will default to Gross Margin. (Unless they later change it to something else).

Easier way to display report POVs - Financial reporting

Currently I add a text box in the lower left hand corner of each report and type in the POVs used for the report.
For example:
POVs
Version: <<MemberAlias('Grid1', Version)>>
Business Line: <<MemberAlias('Grid1', BusinessLine)>>
Is there are way to generate this similar to when export to excel from a Financial Snapshot? Pretty tedious ( I save it as a reporting object but still have to tweak based on different POVs per report)
thanks
JTS

I believe my text boxes export as well... but then, I do not use the snapshot, I run the report as an export from the live report book.

Get smartview data for another application

Is there a supported API call I can make via HTTP to consume the same data that smartview uses?
Could I just make the same HTTP calls that the smartview plugin uses?
Thank you!

Essbase - Oracle EPM System 11.1.2.3 Documentation Library

Others have done it (http://www.appliedolap.com/dodeca). Not sure if they go the same route as Smart View through provider services or try to operate more like the classic addin which spoke directly to Essbase (think the latter).

FR: how passing POV parameters through Related Content

Hi,
i'm using Financial Reporting as a reporting tool for my budget application over a Planning 9.3.1 system.
My question is about the possibility to use the related content in order to pass report POV parameters.
As we know it's possibile in FR open a new report starting from the cell of a initial report throught Related Content but i ask if is possible pass the current report POV to the new one in order to obtain a kind of "drill-down effect" based on a initial user-selection.
Thank in advance.
Stefano

Hi Stefano
Yes it is possible providing that you have set up your reports correctly.
A common example would be:
Report1: Standard P&L report (Accounts in rows, Period in columns, Entity on POV) - initially run at a summary Entity level with drill link by account to
Report2: Entity in rows, Period in columns, Accounts on POV - use IDescendants(Current POV for Entity)
Effect is you start with a standard P&L report where you find an account with a variance you want to investigate (e.g. Staff Pay) click the related content link in the report and it will pass that account into the POV on the second report and expand the Entities down the row.
Hope this helps

Difference b/w Prompts,User POV,Grid POV & Pages

Hi
What is the difference between Prompts,User POV,Grid POV & Pages....When do we use them.
Thnks

Hi Ann
Kelly is right the details are all in the documentation that should be easily available... My thoughts and experience of the different options are as follows and may help you:
Pages: Provide multiple choices for one or more dimensions in a drop down list within the report. Be a bit careful with these, I've avoided them as in earlier versions reports with a lot of members in on the page drop down list took a long time to load. This may have improved with the more recent releases but I've not really used them for a while
Prompts: Allow users to select member(s) for the report at run-time. Personally I'm not keen on these as it takes more user selections (clicks of the mouse) to actually get to your report each time, I prefer to use the POVs
Grid POV: Similar to user POV but I've tended to use them where I want to use a fixed member from a dimension e.g. 'Actual' or 'YearTotal' but not show it in the report grid rows or columns (useful if you have several dimensions this can apply to)
User POV: I find this the most useful for things that change regularly like Year, Location, Scenario, Version, particularly in combination with the Grid POV as mentioned above. The User POV is stored for each user and the last POV used is applied to the next report when opened
Good luck with your report building, I'm sure you'll develop your own preferences as you get used to the options.

Error while extracting data to replicated partition (EAL)

Hi,
I´m using Essbase Analytics. I want to create a copy of my HFM application in Essbase.
So I´ve created a new bridge. In the Essbase tab of the bridge I choose "Replicated partition", because I want the data in Essbase directly, not in the EAL server.
So EAL created the application, database and the outline.
In the extract tab I select my created region and click "Extract data". After some time it ends, but no data is stored in the essbase database!
The log file of the EAL server says: Extract region requested (time stamp is the beginning of the process)
Has anyone an idea??
Thanks, Stefan
P.S.: The creation of an transparent partition works fine and I can see data via Smartview.

We use EAL with the transparent partition option without any issues. We write some report scripts to export the data from the app and load into another essbase app periodically for reporting. We can also use smartview or the add-in to pull data directly from the EAL essbase apps.
What are you trying to do that requires you to use a replicated partition? We were told transparent was the preferred method and so we used that option.
