Planning and Smartview connection issue - Invalid User and Password message is misleading

We had a situation where users were unable to use Smartview with Planning and getting error message that Invalid User ID/Password. 

Once we asked the users to use Workspace, they got a message that "Application is in Maintenance Mode and no connections are allowed".  We asked the HP admin to make the application available to users.  This resolved the issue.

The Smartview message was misleading and it caused many users to lockout their AD accounts.

Hyperion DRM Query record limit

Recently we had an issue while running various queries in DRM, we would only get 5000 records.  While looking at System Preferences, this was discovered.
You can go into Administer, System Preferences and then WarnHL.
Default limit is 5000 records.  You can change this limit to a higher number, save the changes and re-run your queries.
