SmartView report automation  v9.3

Thanks is advance for any help.
I have built automated reports of various types over the years using the Excell Client add-in, Where I am workinf now, they only install Smart View so I am trying to produce the same sort of automated reports with the SmartView vba "Toolkit". However, I am not locating the required dll's and smartview.bas file that the documentation points to: "In Import File, select smartview.bas in \SmartView\bin to declare all functions or just the function you plan to use. "
I have searched both the client and server and am not finding anything.
Can anyone help?
Thansk You!!

The odd thing is, no smartview folder has been created, yet, smartview is up and running. One note, I am running Windows 7 AND Office 2007, that is why I downgraded to v9.3.1, 11.1.1.3 would not work on my machine.
I will see if I can do this on another machine.
Thanks much!!

  • Smartview reports do not open in HFM v11.1.2.1 after upgrade from v9.3.1.

    Smartview reports when I attempt to open in HFM v11.1.2.1 (after upgrade from v9.3.1), points me to launch v9.3.1 workspace. Any advise pls... Thanks, Mark

    Mark,
    I still don't fully understand the issue. Smart View is not launched from Workspace -- it is instead run from within one of the Microsoft Office products (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook). Are you instead asking about Financial Reports? These are run from the Explore menu within Workspace. You can view these as html or PDF.
    A little more confusing is the fact that Smart View can run a Financial Report from within any of the Office products. In any case, when you use Smart View in 11.1.2.1 you could open a connection to the Workspace server (the connection in Smart View is defined in the Smart View options under Advanced > Shared Connections URL). Assuming you have provided a correct URL there, pointing to the 11.1.2.1 workspace server, you should see the available shared connections when you open a new conenction.
    I re-read your e-mail and wonder if you are confusing things a bit. If you log into Workspace, using Internet Explorer, each user has their own preferences as to what page launches by default upon login. I think you are saying that a usr logging into the 11.1.2.1 workspace somehow has a default page leading them back to the 9.x workspace? If so, check their preferences to examine the default document and it's URL. Once logged into Workspace, choose File > Preferences > General, to view the Startup page. You can make any changes here, but this is user-by-user.

  • Limit on maxRows for a smartview report

    One of the business unit extensively use SmartView to create Excel report. And they would be rather comfortable using excel for their reporting purpose. I would like to know if there is a best practice for a smartview report. Currently we have increased the "service.olap.dataQuery.grid.maxRows=50000" in the Essbase.properties file in Provider Service application server. I understand there are memory implications as the maxRows grow.
    Currently we have 16Gb ram for the server which host APS as well as Hyperion Planning. Java Heap size for APS min=1024 and max=2048 and same for Planning . The datasource which the business unit use is Planning.
    The user computer is 32bit Windows 7 with MS Office 2010
    What should be the limit of maxRows of a smartview excel report.
    thank you for looking into it.

    Thank you Jasmine for your reply.
    The interesting thing is this report has only 1700 rows. But the analyst wants to pull 3 years data instead of 1 year. And when he increased the year, he started reporting of this issue.
    After I increased the maxRows setting in essbase.properties in APS server, the issue was resolved.
    Sorry for my ignorance, as I am trying to understand what is happening in this case. Is maxRow setting for the number of rows on the excel sheet or it is for number of rows generated by data grid created by the HsGet function in the Excel report ?

  • Forms and Reports: Automated Test tools - functionality AND performance

    All,
    I'm looking to get a few leads on an automated test tools that may be used to validate Oracle forms and reports (see my software configuration below). I'm looking for tools that can automate both functional tests and performance. By this I mean;
    Functional Testing:
    * Use of shortcut keys
    * Navigation between fields
    * Screen organisation (filed locations)
    * Exercise forms validation (bad input values)
    * Provide values to forms and simulate user commit, and go and verify database state is as expected
    Performance Testing:
    * carry out tests for fixed user load
    * carry out tests for scaled step increase in user load
    * automated collection of log files and metrics during test
    So far I have:
    http://www.neotys.com/
    Thanks in advance for your response.

    Configuration:
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux x86-64 architecture v4.5 64 bit
    Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 ( with patch 10.1.2.3 )
    Oracle Developer Suite (Oracle Forms and Reports) V10.1.2.0.2 ( with patch 10.1.2.3 )
    Oracle JInitiator 1.3.1.17 or later
    Microsoft Internet Explorer 6

    are there any tools for doing this activity like oracle recommended tools?
    Your question is unclear.  As IK mentioned, the only tool you need is a new version of Oracle Forms/Reports.  Open your v10 modules in a v11 Builder and select Save.  You now have a v11 module.  Doing a "Compile All PL/SQL" before saving is a good idea, but not required.  The Builders and utilites provided with the version 11 installation are the only supported tools for upgrading your application.  If you are trying to do the conversion of many Forms files in a scripted manner, you can use the Forms compiler in a script.  Generating new "X" files will also update the source modules (fmb, mmb, pll).  See MyOracleSupport Note 955143.1
    Also included in the installation in the Forms Migration Assistant.  Although it is more useful to people coming from older versions, it can also be used to move from v10 to 11.  It allows you to select more than one file at a time.  Documentation for this utility can be found in the Forms Upgrade Guide.

  • Multiple SmartView Reports on a Single Worksheet.

    Good day all,
    May I know if it is possible to create multiple reports using SmartView in Excel? I can create multiple reports in a single worksheet using Essbase Add-In, but I don't know how to create it using SmartView.
    I'm using Hyperion 11.1.2.1.
    Thanks in advance.

    That feature was just released in the latest patch 11.1.2.1.102 See my blog http://glennschwartzbergs-essbase-blog.blogspot.com/2011/09/smartview-enhancements.html for more details on all the cool new features in the patch

  • Smartview- Reporting and Analysis URL not valid

    Hello,
    We are currently getting ready to Go Live with Hyperion Planning upgrade to version 11.1.2.2 and have been testing the new smartview version 11.1.2.2.310. Currently within our company, olur security policy does not let the regular User community hit a server name and a specific port. So for years for the general essbase connection we have been using a URL like https://planning.company.com/workspace/SmartViewProviders.
    With that URL I can establish a connection to Essbase and Hyperion Planning (the Forms). However when I try to connect to the Reporting Analysis and Framework, I initally get an error that reads "Cannont connect to the provider. The server name could not be resolved". When I click OK, I am able to see the Financial Reporting Folder structure, see the report names, however not able to run the reports.
    Is there any way to connect through a DNS entry that masks the server name and port??? OR is there a way on the back end to define the path for the Reporting Analysis Frame worksection so we can have it point to our URL instead of the actual server name?
    Any help or suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated!! We are going live with this in a couple in a couple weeks and this feature is something users have been waiting for.
    Thanks!
    Lindsey

    Has it ever worked, have you checked the logs,  have you logged into Oracle Support and had a look the documents available e.g. 1422178.1

  • Drill-Through Report automation through VBA

    Hi,
    I've been making macros using standard VBA functions in Excel Essbase. For this, I've been using functions defined in essxlvba.txt.
    My Essbase database has linked objects which gives the transaction level data for selected cells.
    If I call EssMenuVLinkedObjects function, the control gets passed the linked object window and this needs to be controlled manually. Which defeats my purpose of automation of drill-through retrieval. I'm searching for functions using which I should be able to bypass the Linked-Object window and Drill-Through window and get the desired data. This is because I've to retrieve huge amount of data and I want to eliminate any manual steps.
    I've been exploring Oracle website and found that there are Visual Basic Main API Functions and I tried to explore them also but I could not find various constants and structure declaration.
    Please help.
    Subhash.

    The VB Main API declarations (including functions, constants and structures) are in a file named esb32.bas. This will be in a subdirectory on the client named \api\include - exact location depends on your version.
    I've never tried automating the execution of drill-through reports, so I'm afraid I can't help on the specifics.
    Just a thought though - if you need to pull a 'huge amount of data' and want to do this without manual intervention, Essbase drill-through might not be most suitable mechanism. It sounds more suited to a relational extract / query tool.

  • HFM Security Report Automation?

    Is there a way to automate the running of the HFM (Hyperion Financial Management) Security Report in Shared Services.?
    version: 11.1.2.0
    Is this possible with using Task Automation? ---> If yes please provide details
    If this possible using other reporting tools like HFR, web analysis..etc ---> This is not recommended
    If any other way, Please provide details.
    Thanks All!!
    Regards,
    AVSR

    I think the best way to produce custom security files is using the HFM API. You can use this to report on group memberships and roles and class access. You can read all about it in the Web Developer's Guide Chapter 10. The chapter starts:
    The HFMwSecurity type library contains the HFMwSecurity component. This component
    provides methods that enumerate an application’s security classes, indicate whether a user has
    rights to perform a given task, and return other types of security information.
    I have seen these used to great effect.

  • SmartView Reporting and Anaysis alert

    We are trying to write VBA code to refresh a spreadsheet that is a downloaded document using a Reporting and Analysis smartview connection. Everything works fine, but we need to get rid of the "alert" that pops up after the refresh of the document completes. At the end of the refresh it pops up a msgbox that has the number of pages updated. We've tried to set displayalerts = false, but the msgbox still pops up and it stalls because it has to have user input. Has anyone encountered this and/or has a fix to get rid of it?
    Thanks!
    Edited by: Tsmith2 on Nov 4, 2009 4:17 PM

    Both IDM and "show events alert" have very basic querying capabilities. The only thing you can do is to mark some signature with "traits" code and show alerts fired by this signature with:
    sensor# sh events alert include-traits ?
    <0-15> Traits to include in the show events output.
    Try IDS Event Viewer. IEV is a free tool that can be downloaded from the Cisco website. But is very limited too. The primary Cisco product for viewing/reporting is the Cisco MARS. But it is expensive...

  • Information Broadcast / Sending reports automated

    Hello,
    I have the following task:
    we should send reports to non-bw users.
    For each recipient should be set a personlized variable (like customer no). So he only get the report with his company code.
    There should be possibility to implement this automated?
    In Information Broadcast I have to type in every mail adress and assign the right report.
    We would need a solution where the variable (eg. company code) is filled automatically, saving the report under a title starting with the company code and then send the report via mail to the correct partner.
    As the mail adresses are all in R/3 in the customer datas. It should not be a problem to load them to BW.
    Thank you for your help.
    Franz

    Hi!
    I think it is hard to implement a scenario of sending automatically to BP's when they dont have a userid in BW.
       Problem is that we can makes settings in broadcaseter either manually  or by creating a Variant of report automatically for each userid.  I think atleast in BW3.5 it is not possible to automate this.
    When we contacted sap regarding the simmilar problem,we were informed that it'S not possible. they suggested us to have atleast background user for each BP. this was about an year ago..so i dont know if there is a solution now.
    with regards

  • Production Reporting + Automated Report Generation

    Hello,
    Does anyone know how to genarate reports automatically by using Production Reporting?
    The source data is in Essbase and the data on updated monthly. We should get the updated data on the reports automatically but I do not know how to do it?
    What tools (HAL, DIM?) and skills (JAVA, SQR) are needed to get data automatically? The creation of a normal report can be made with graphical user interface.
    Br
    Mikko

    You could set up a dbms_job (unix daemon) to call the report and execute at a given time.
    When you call the report then you can pass the parameters without any problem. (with no user intervention)
    I don't have any example but you should be able to find a lot of them.

  • UCCX Historical Reporting Automated Install

    Does anyone have any pointers on how to automate the install for UCCX Historical Reports?  7.01(504)

    Hi Lisa
    1) That report shows the hour period that had the most incoming calls to the whole system. That means all CSQs... what report are you comparing it to? That report may be for a single CSQ that is busy in the afternoon, where the total for the system is higher in the morning.
    2) No, there is not. You would need a custom report to produce this if it is important.

  • Report automation

    Our product automates the deployment of reports using the COM object of Crystal Reports XI.  We have a requirement to update to 2008/2010 so I have been investigating the use of the Visual Studio 2010 SDK and redistributable. I have successfully loaded a report however I am unable to replicate our existing process, these are the tasks I need to perform:
      - Set the table name on each table in the report.
      - Set the DSN of each table in the report.
      - Set a number of named parameters in the report.
      - Esport the report to a defined format, e.g. PDF.
    In addition to modifying an existing report I need to be able to create a blank report with a number of tables, parameters and sub reports.
    Thanks for your assistance.
