HsDescription gives a NULL value when connecting to a PBCS instance – Bug Number 23626120



Well, the best thing of any software is that it is it is the best example of an evolutionary nature of it and how it evolves into an ecosystem… (The biology speak is because it was one of my favorite subjects in college)… Well, for those of us who have used Microsoft Excel (that’s a default assumed answer for anyone in Hyperion), what I really like about Excel is that you can customize it as much as you want, the limit being only your imagination… So there I was the other day trying to get an alias for a member using the HsDescription function in SmartView after connecting to a PBCS instance as shown in the below snapshot…

 



Now, the NULL value that is being returned by PBCS stumped me since I checked the Oracle support and found that this issue is fixed…
 
But, turns out that it is an issue with SmartView connecting to Oracle PBCS which gives NULL value if you use the HsDescription as shown in their response..
