Installing Smart View and the Admin Extension for Editing Dimensions

Before you begin editing dimensions in Oracle Smart View for Office, ensure the following depending on whether you plan to use Windows-based Smart View, Oracle Smart View for Office (Mac and Browser), or both:

Installing Oracle Smart View for Office and the Planning Admin Extension

To use the Windows client-based version of Smart View, see Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud for Administrators, Downloading and Installing Clients for instructions on installing Smart View.

Then install the Admin Extension.

Note:

Prior to 22.07, the Admin Extension file was in MSI format. Starting in 22.07, the Admin Extension file is in SVEXT format.

If you installed the Admin Extension prior to 22.07, then you must first uninstall the MSI version of the extension from the Windows Control Panel, Programs and Features. If you keep the MSI version on your machine and also install the SVEXT version, then the Smart View extension update process will not recognize updates to the SVEXT version of the Admin Extension. You may continue to use the MSI version of the Admin Extension that you previously installed. However, the MSI version of the extension will not be updated in the future so will not contain any future bug fixes or enhancements. For this reason, Oracle recommends moving to the Admin Extension in SVEXT format.

Tip:

  • Before proceeding with installing the Admin Extension, Oracle recommends that you first clear your browser cache.

  • Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management: The Admin Extension is supported starting with Smart View 22.100.

To install the Admin Extension:

  • Download the extension from the Downloads page of your business process. See Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud for Administrators, Downloading and Installing Clients for instructions on installing the Planning Admin Extension.

  • Download and install using the extension installation and update process in Smart View. See Installing Extensions in Working with Oracle Smart View for Office.

Either method will download and install the Admin Extension in SVEXT format.

Deploying Oracle Smart View for Office (Mac and Browser) with the Admin Extension

To use the Mac- or browser-based version of Smart View, you must deploy a Smart View manifest file with the Admin Extension options enabled.

See the following topics in the Deploying and Administering Oracle Smart View for Office (Mac and Browser) for instructions on deploying Smart View with the Admin Extension features.
