EPMA Search Member Function Does Not Find Hierarchy Members Below Shared Parent


So this is a published bug in EPMA for Hyperion Financial Management Version
11.1.2.3.500 and later only, However, I have experienced this issue to be coming up in Planning applications.

SYMPTOMS

In Enterprise Performance Management Architect (EPMA) if you move or include an existing parent member as a shared member underneath a different or new parent then the children rolling up to the first parent will not be shown.If Parent member is shared in an hierarchy, all levels below that shared level can not be found while using "Find Members" through Smart View neither can be drilled down through Smart View.

Search member result is "No member found", although this member is part of the Hierarchy.

CAUSE

EPMA is behaving as expected.

SOLUTION

When we drill the Shared Member we are unable to see the level0 members in the template in generic. However, if we change one of the MEMBER OPTIONS of retrieval in our Smart View -> Options tab
Generic Setting for Zoom In Level is set to Bottom Level or All Members , change it to “FORMULAS”.
Retrieve now: You should be able to drill to level 0 members in Shared hierarchy.

I think for some reason Smart View treats the shared members level 0 as a formula to pull members from the actual hierarchy.

For more details on the published documentation by oracle refer : 



Hope you find this useful somewhere!!

Cheers!

Shared Connection and Private Connection

Shared Connections •Shared connections are stored in a central location and are available to multiple users through the Smart View Panel. You cannot add, edit, or rename shared connections, but you can save them as private connections, which you can edit and rename.

Registry file to update Smart View Timeout Settings

“ The Request Timed Out. Contact your Administrator to Increase netRetryCount and netRetryInterval. IE7 and IE8 & IE9 have a 30-second timeout when waiting for communication from the server.
