UGA Data Warehouse Users

Using a cube on Mac OS

The Mac operating system does not support the cube technology. SQL Server Analysis Servers (SSAS), which drive the cube functionality, work only using Windows authentication.

Mac users can use UGA vLab to access a cube. Instructions for connecting are available here.

 

Using the Reporting Portal

Mac users can connect to the UGA Data Warehouse Reporting Portal and view paginated reports, Power BI reports, and KPI's on the Mac OS after connecting to 02 restricted VPN.

UGA Budget Management Users

UGA Budget Management users may need the Oracle Smart View for Office Plugin from within the Hyperion application once they are granted access. The link can be found in the menu bar under

"Tools -> Install -> Smart View". 

Smart View OS Requirements

Smart View usability requires use of Microsoft Office 2007 or newer on a Windows Operating System. Oracle does not currently support Microsoft product on Mac. Mac users can run a Virtual Machine on their computers and run Windows OS and then utilize Smart View through this tool. Mac users may also use UGA vLAB to access Smart View.

Information about UGA vLAB is available here: https://eits.uga.edu/support/vlab/
