New Features in This Release

Subtopics

- New VBA Functions

- Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service Features

- Enterprise Performance Reporting Cloud Features

- Locating New Features Information for Past Releases

New VBA Functions

Several new VBA functions are introduced in this release. At this time, these functions are supported by Oracle Essbase only.

- HypCreateRangeGrid enables users to refresh multiple selected or named ranges of cells in a multiple-grid worksheet. You can also use it to add a grid in the selected range if there is not already a grid in the particular location, thus creating a multiple-grid sheet. If the ranges specified for this function contain more rows or columns than the actual grid has, the additional rows and columns are treated as comments and are thus part of the grid.

- HypSubmitSelectedRangeWithoutRefresh updates the database with data, as is, from the selected data range; it ignores cells outside the selected range and does not overwrite (or refresh) them. The selected range does not automatically get refreshed after submit; the user must manually refresh the grid to retrieve the updated data. For a successful submit, the user must select a range which constitutes a valid grid.

This function requires Oracle Hyperion Provider Services release 11.1.2.4.13.

- HypSubmitSelectedDataCells allows the selected data cells to be submitted. For free-form grids, this VBA function allows selected blank cells to be submitted as # Missing .

These VBA functions are described in detail in the Oracle Smart View for Office Developers Guide .

Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service Features

Subtopics

- Drop-down Member Selection on Row Dimensions in Forms

- Change in Accessing the User Preferences Dialog Box

Drop-down Member Selection on Row Dimensions in Forms

In forms, Planning administrators and form designers can set up easy-to-use drop-down member selectors on row dimensions. When these drop-down selectors are enabled, the form users can directly select a member from the drop-down list on the row dimension in the form. The drop-down member selector also allows users to add data to member rows that may have otherwise been suppressed.

For the Smart View user, keep in mind the following:

- There is no visual notification as to which members have drop-downs enabled; you must click a dimension cell and, if a down arrow appears next to the cell, then there is a drop-down list enabled.

- The drop-down content (list of members) is controlled by the form definition for the corresponding segment.

- Selections are not retained. The drop-down selection will be lost on refresh. If you perform a Refresh after selecting a member from the drop-down, the selection is lost and the form returns to its original state.

- The drop-down selection will be lost on saving data. Modifying data cells and saving the Excel worksheet will not retain modified drop-down selections.

To use this feature in Smart View requires configuration in the Form Designer in the Planning web interface. The Planning administrator or form designer specifies the drop-down selectors as segment properties for particular dimensions. For example, suppose there are two dimensions placed on row axes, Entities and Line item; the member selector drop-down may be enabled for the Entity dimension members, for the Line item dimension members, or for both. Configuration is described in Administering Planning for Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud .

Change in Accessing the User Preferences Dialog Box

This release changes the way you access the User Preferences dialog box from the Smart View Panel. Instead of accessing the dialog box from the plan level, you access User Preferences from the application level.

Additionally, you will no longer be prompted to select a plan type. Instead, the preferences you set will apply to all plan types.

Enterprise Performance Reporting Cloud Features

Subtopics

- Support for Embedding Management Report Content

- Remap Report Content within a Reference Doclet or File

- Revert to Prior Doclet Version

- Review Comparison

To use the features described in the following sections, the 16.12 version of the Oracle Enterprise Performance Reporting Cloud extension for Smart View is required.

Support for Embedding Management Report Content

In the same way that you embed report content from reference doclets and files, you can now embed content from Management Reporting-based reports using Smart View.

You create a Management Report, insert it as a reference doclet, and define available content using the Enterprise Performance Reporting Cloud web interface. Then, from Smart View, you embed that content as needed in report package doclets.

In the Oracle Smart View for Office Users Guide , see the topics in " Working with Embedded Content from Reference Doclets, "

Remap Report Content within a Reference Doclet or File

From Smart View, you can now remap existing available content to different report content within a reference doclet or reference file.

You may find that the available content within an Excel-based reference doclet or reference file needs to be remapped to different report content within the doclet source. This may occur if the doclet source you were using was updated or the report content you were using was renamed or deleted. Or, this may be required if you notice that the wrong report content was selected.

In the Oracle Smart View for Office Users Guide , see " Updating Excel-based Reference Doclet Content " and " Remapping Content within Reference Files. "

Revert to Prior Doclet Version

As a doclet author, you can now easily restore the contents of a doclet back to a prior version if needed.

In the Oracle Smart View for Office Users Guide , see " Reverting to a Prior Version of a Doclet. "

Review Comparison

As a reviewer, you can now focus your subsequent reviews of a report to only the areas of the report where content has been updated. You can easily navigate through the changes and focus your review on the content of the report that has changed. In the web, change indicators are displayed in the report to represent where changes were made. To see detailed changes that were made to the report, the system will generate a Microsoft Word comparison document using Oracle Smart View for Office.

In the Oracle Smart View for Office Users Guide , see " Comparing Review Instances. "

The topics in this section list platforms supported by Smart View that are in addition to those listed in the matrix, or platform support introduced in this release.

Microsoft Windows Operating System Support

Smart View 11.1.2.5.520 was the first Smart View release to be supported on Windows 10. Earlier versions of Smart View are not supported on Windows 10.

Microsoft .NET Framework Support

To install and use Smart View release 11.1.2.5.600+, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or higher is required.

Microsoft Office Support

- Smart View support for Microsoft Office 2016 began with the 11.1.2.5.520 release. Smart View versions earlier than 11.1.2.5.520 are not supported on Office 2016.

Tips and Troubleshooting

This topic lists the most recent tips and troubleshooting topics. More tips and troubleshooting topics are listed in the Oracle Smart View Installation and Configuration Guide . This guide is available in the Smart View 11.1.2.5.610 library on the Oracle Help Center:

https://docs.oracle.com/en/applications/?tab=8

- Smart View Diagnostics Tools

When working with Smart View, if issues arise that you cannot resolve on your own, you can use the new Smart View diagnostic tools in the Diagnostics group in the Smart View ribbon to create and collect log files and screenshots to send to Oracle Support. When you are finished collecting diagnostic data, you use the diagnostic tools to zip up the files. Then you transmit the ZIP file to Oracle Support for analysis. The log files and screenshots are used by Oracle Support to troubleshoot and resolve your issue.

To enable the diagnostics tools, go to the Options dialog box, Advanced tab, and select Show Diagnostics Group on Smart View Ribbon .

See the "Smart View Diagnostics" chapter of the Oracle Smart View for Office Users Guide for more information on using the diagnostics tools.

- 19905121 -- When running a Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting report from Smart View, a web control is called that causes this error to display: " The product does not support compatibility view. Contact your system administrator to help configure your settings. " By default, the web control runs in compatibility mode, triggering the compatibility message.

For workarounds, see " Internet Explorer Compatibility View Settings for Financial Reporting " in the Oracle Smart View for Office Installation and Configuration Guide

- 17263827, 17636796, 17667907, 20417037, 20564104, 20648759, 20696893 -- Microsoft has enabled Office Animations for the Task Pane and many controls within Office 2013. This causes flickering and screen movements in the following situations:

- Opening forms, especially when opening composite and cascading forms.

- Opening a web form that has a page drop-down.

- Moving between simple forms on multiple sheets or between composite forms.

- Refreshing a composite web form using the Refresh All command causes the POV toolbar to flicker and shift up and down.

- Opening multiple connections in new tabs, whether you are opening composite forms or simple forms.

- Accessing the About box from the Help button in the Smart View ribbon when the Oracle Hyperion Disclosure Management extension is also installed (note that per issue 17667907, a sharing violation error message is first displayed).

Workaround: Information on troubleshooting flickering issues is available in the Oracle Smart View for Office Installation and Configuration Guide . See " Flickering Issues on Office 2013 32-bit and 64-bit. " This topic contains detailed instructions on creating and configuring the DisableAnimations key and the DisableWindowTransitionsOnAddinTaskPanes key. Both work to reduce flickering in Office 2013.

Refer to Microsoft Windows documentation if you require further help creating these registry keys.

- 21038932 -- Smart View performance is slow in Excel 2013 when compared to earlier versions of Excel, requiring an update from Microsoft.

Workaround: Oracle recommends that you install the Office 2013 update noted in Microsoft KB 3085502:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3085502

Optionally, you may also perform the actions noted in " Flickering Issues on Office 2013 32-bit and 64-bit " in the Oracle Smart View for Office Installation and Configuration Guide .

Refer to the Oracle Smart View for Office Installation and Configuration Guide , " Tips and Troubleshooting " chapter, " Issues When Starting Excel in Automation Mode " topic.

- 22078848 -- In some Word documents containing large queries created prior to Smart View release 11.1.2.5.520, performance may be very slow when refreshing the data in the document. In some cases, each Smart View data point in the Word document is treated as a separate query, instead of re-using existing queries where appropriate. The result is that Refresh operations are very slow.

To fix this issue, run the macro in " Duplicate Queries in Word Slow to Refresh " in the Oracle Smart View for Office Installation and Configuration Guide .

- 23084925 -- Administrators can push extension installations silently by calling the following command:

svlaunch.exe /I <
path to the extension installer
>

The silent installer may not work correctly some Microsoft Windows and Office platform combinations; for example:

- Windows 10 (64-bit) with MS Office 2016 (64-bit)

- Windows 8.1 (64-bit) with MS Office 2013 or 2016 (64-bit)

In these cases, install the extensions manually on each user’s machine by double-clicking the extension file in the Smart View installation folder.

For example, to install the extension for Oracle Journals for Financial Management on an individual user’s machine, navigate to the Smart View installation folder on that machine. By default, the location is:

C:\Oracle\SmartView\extensions

Then double-click the SVFMJournalInstaller.svext file.

- 23745106 -- If two-way SSL is set up with problematic certificates between Smart View and other EPM data providers, Smart View will prompt for the client-side certificate with every request. For example, the user will be prompted when connecting to the data source, connecting to an application, connecting to a database, and at every refresh, submit, or zoom operation.

To avoid this situation, you must update the properties.xml file on each end user machine to add the clientCert name tag. For example:

<cfg>
<provider>
<url>http://server:port/workspace/SmartViewProviders</url>
</provider>
<helpurlcontext></helpurlcontext>
<extensionupdatelist>http://server:port/extensionupdatelist/UpdateList.xml|%SVCLIENTINSTALLPATH%/extensions/UpdateList.xml</extensionupdatelist>
<!-- Require Smart View to prompt the user for the client-side certificate -->

<clientCert name="PROMPT-ONLY"/>

</cfg>

16451759 -- Chart copy and paste is only supported for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition charts. Charts based on other providers, such as Financial Management, do not paste correctly.

Changes to Financial Management Formulas in Smart View

21882424 -- After Financial Management 11.1.2.2.xxx, the custom dimensions in Oracle Hyperion Financial Management applications are referred to as alias names in Smart View formulas. The recent versions of Oracle Smart View for Office can no longer interpret the formulas. Formulas in the old format in saved workbooks will not work. The dimension identifiers will, therefore, need to be updated for each formula to reflect the new alias names for the custom dimensions.

Office AutoCorrect Affecting Member Editing in Planning Admin Extension

23206737 -- When editing member properties in the Planning Admin Extension, member names, member descriptions, aliases, or member formulas of the data type Text, to retain two initial capital letters in a name (for example, DGreen ) and not have Excel autocorrect to one initial capital (for example, Dgreen ), set the following option:
