Shared Connections Drop-Down List empty in Smart View 11.1.2.1

Hi,

I was working on the installation of Oracle Hyperion EPM v11.1.2.1 on 64 bit VMware Server. I installed and configured all the required products (Foundation Services , Essbase, EAS and Provider Services) in that order. Then installed SmartView v11.1.2.1 on my local machine to check the connectivity with Essbase using workspace install link. It got installed successfully and I was able to connect to the Essbase Server using Private Connection (http://ProviderServer:PORT/aps/APS). However when I connected to Shared Connection, the drop-down of the list was coming as empty and it was not allowing me to enter hps details either.

I googled for the solution and found that I need to reconfigure Foundation Services ->Web Server after the installation of SmartView so that Web Server is configured for all the required products. I did the same and the issue was resolved. After connecting to Shared Connection using the URL http://ProviderServer:PORT/workspace/SmartViewProviders in SmartView Options->Advance-> Shared Connection URL, I could see Oracle Essbase Server in the drop-down list. Then I remembered having read the same in epm_install_11121 pdf file which has always refered to configure Web Server in LAST. I got the point and thought of sharing the same here

Hope this helps you all

Happy Sharing

Smart View V11.1.1.2: Tip #1

Its been long that I posted in this blog as I am busy with my current assignment. However while exploring Smart View features, I found quite interisting feature which I would like to discuss here.

Smart View has a feature to save POV member selection. Users can save POV member selection of a particular essbase cube and use the same selection again while connecting to the cube.

All user need to do is to add Cube selection as Favourite (Add to Favourites) and then the connection becomes Active in POV Manager... selection which allows user to save a POV members for future use

Hope this helps in making users feel more confortable in SV reporting
