Mapping Table Export

Problem: When attempting to export a mapping table to Excel using the “Export to Excel” button, the export fails. The process is suspended on the “please wait” screen.

Cause: The Essbase add-in for Excel is registered within Excel on the FDM application server and causes the export process to be suspended.

Solution: Unregister the add-in.

  To unregister the add-in:

  1. Log on to the FDM application server as the service account set in all the FDM configuration items.

  2. Select Start, then Programs, then Oracle EPM System, then Essbase, and then Essbase Add-in.

    A command window is displayed.

  3. Right-click in the Windows taskbar and select Task Manager.

  4. Select the Processes tab and, to sort by image, click on the Image Name column header.

  5. Right-click on all EXCEL.EXE processes and Select End Process.

  6. Log in to the FDM Web Client and rerun the map export function.
