Business Rules Management when Base Members become parents

Hi Experts,
This is a question for BPC 7.5 NW.
Currently the consolidation is being done at Grp Account Level.
Account Dimension members for eg are:
ID        H1
A         AA
B         BB
C         CC.
Automatic adjustments are configured against members A, B and C. Properties relevant to consolidation process are also relevant to configured against A, B and C.
Requirement is that consolidation be done at Account level from now on.
Account Dimension members for eg. will be:
ID      H1
A1     A
A2     A
B1     B
B2     B
C1     C
C2     C
A      AA
B      BB
C      CC
In such a case, will automatic adjustments business rules hold good for A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2 which are already configured for their parents A, B and C?
If so, then will consolidation relevant properties have to be mapped to A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2 too or only at A, B and C? 

Hi,
when you define business rules with property values these values must exist on base level members. In such a scenario BPC simply looks for values on accounts with the relevant properties which, if those properties are only defined on summation level members, it would not find.

Arnold

  • Separate release of SAP Business Rules Management component

    I am evaluating the possibility of using the SAP Business Rules Management for the company. What I have seen till now in SAP is that it is part of the SAP Netweaver composition environment which consists of lot of other components also. I don't want to use the other components. Is is possible to download a trail copy of only the Business Rules management component ? (I don't want to use the BPM and others.)

    Hello Prashanth,
    You can just select the usage type (functional unit) Business Process Management and Business Rules management for installation.
    You can find more information on installation in the guide provided at the SAP service marketplace - https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/installnw73

  • Business Rules Validation when validating from Calc Manager

    When I try to validate a business rule that has been migrated to calc manager, it throws an error:
    Error compiling formula .... Operator expected after ... brname.
    What could be the reason it is throwing such error.
    Thanks

    The thread points to having a file "CDF_STRING.JAR" in  <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/EPMSystem11R1/products/Essbase/EssbaseServer/java/udf folder.
    However, I do not have this file in this location. There is a file "CALCMGRCDF.JAR"
    Do we need to have the "CDF_STRING.JAR" file as well or just the "CALCMGRCDF.JAR" is good in version 11.1.2.3 calc manager.
    Thanks

  • Business Rules Error when Decision Function surfaced as WebService in BPM

    To use a BusinessRule as from a Business Rules activity,it needs to be surfaced as a WebService.
    I've run into an issue where as soon as I check that box and save, the BusinessRule in question goes into a error mode when viewed from the BPM Project Manager (which is why this question is posted here).
    The scenario is this:
    My types are defiend in XSD. There is a SimpleType - FooStepTypeType - which is a retricted xs:string, the common way top create an enumeration. I import this as an XML fact, it creates a Enum bucketset, which is perfect. I create a decision function - DecisionFunction1 - which has an input parameter of this type and a boolean output. I set up a simple decision table to use the input and assert the output. The editor is happy.
    At this point, I can't use the DF in my process, as it's not exposed a service, and won't be selectable via the the Properties/Implementation of a Business Rules activity.
    A soon as I mark the DF as a WebService and save it, an the rule disappears from the Rules section of the Business Catalog and reappears at the root of the catalog in error. In some cases it can't be edited.
    Hovering over the error file produced this error message:
    The argument ‘step’ of decision function ‘DecisionFunction1’ could not build because of ‘BPM-71517: Unable to identify the parameter QName. Cause: ‘FooStepTypeType. Action: Make sure that the decision function parameter is of XML type and exactly one XML Schema Element exists that represents the parameter’.
    My XSD previously did not contain a freestanding element of this type, but had elements defined in another complex type of this type. Adding a freestanding element didn't change anything. In fact it seems that elements are not avaialble to be imported as XMLFacts, only types.
    At this point, if the Rules editor is still open, the DF can be "unserviced" and after saving may be recoverable with a JDev restart. If not, manually removing the DF from the .rules xml file can help recover the file so that it can be edited again.
    SO: THE QUESTIONS.
    Why can't I use a simpleType as an input parameter for a DF exposed as a WebService? What is BPM-71517 asking me to do exactly? I can't find any references to it via searching. Why does eveything seem fine until I expose it?
    Addendum - using JDev 11.1.1.4.0 with BPM tools 11.1.1.4.0.5682
    Addendum2 - upgraded to 11.1.1.5.0 and the problem is still there.....
    TIA,
    Bill

    Further invesitgation bears this problem out.
    Oracle support recommend wrapping the SimpleType in a ComplexType. This does work, but now I have an extra wrapper element to deal with. I either have to use the wrapped type in my other complex, composed Types and/or add an external wrapping element when trying to create Business Services in BPM to call the BusinessRules I've created.
    This is a bit messy.
    To be clear, this does not seem to be an issue with Business Rules; the BR editor and generation of Facts (including simple restricted types -> JAXB 2.0/Java Enumerations) seems to work correctly. There seems to be an issue exposing DFs as Services. The code which generated the WSDL and its supporting types seems to choke on restricted SimpleTypes.
    As a side note, it seems that HumanTasks have a similar limitation

  • Action 'is not valid' used in Business rule, but when rule condition met variable set to "unassigned"

    I have used "is not valid" in the action and set the action as " Manager is not valid" . But when the condition is met, the Manager field is assigned with "unassigned" value. I do not have other rules, which use default to "unassigned".
    Still for the records satisfying the condition, i see that the value of Manager column for those records is becoming "unassigned".
    I do not want the manager value to be reset to unassigned. I just want the validation failure to be reported over mail.
     

    Swap, is this still an issue?

  • Business Rules - Selecting Members

    Hope somebody can help me with an issue I am facing.  When I run/validate a Business Rule and when I try to select a member, I encounter the following:
    Some parent level members have a lock symbol and cannot be selected
    Some zero level members have a green lock symbol and cannot be selected
    Other member (parent and zero level) without the lock symbol works with no issues
    The members with locks beside them were created a while back and calculations in those members appear to be correct.  However, why can’t I select them to run?  How can I fix the issue?
    Thank you

    John,
    The prompt is for  @IDESCENDANTS( [GeoPrompt] ) so it should include everything in the GEO dimension. Additionally, I am logged on as ADMIN so I think it should not be limited by security.  Also, using the same credentials, I can access all members through smartview and the webforms.  Is there a standalone module in Business Rules that can be causing the issue?
    Thank you.

  • Business Rules Change Management

    Hello Vivek,
    This is Arti from the SAP Business Rules Management team.
    Yes, according to the roadmap, change management will be available with SAP Netweaver BRM in 2009. Along with this, you can also expect Rules Manager - a web based interface to manage rules. This is specifically meant for business users. There will also be rules testing and business rules refinement and validation.
    I am providing a link to BRM Roadmap here -https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/702315d9-7901-2b10-eaa1-d9e4f5470cac

  • Problem with balance carry forward business rule and automatic adjustments

    Hi All,
    I faced with issue when run BCF business rule and consolidation process. According sap courses BPC440 members with A(automatic adjustments) type should carry forward automatically, and I(imputable), M (adjustments) members should carry forwarded by bcf business rule.
    When I set up my BCF business rule I use property "Category_for_ope" in Category dimension. But this rule not work properly, then I use notes:
    1784365 - Category_for_ope property should not effect Consolidation.
    1902677 - The property category_for_ope shall work for consolidation
    After applying those notes, system work as I aspect. After i run consolidation first time system carry forward my automatic adjustment from Category "Expected" to "PLAN_Y0" and this is correct!!!. But when i run consolidation process second and third time system duplicated automatic adjustments in Category "PLAN_Y0".
    Someone can help me with this Issue?
    And sorry for my english

    Hi,
    Can you try as follows :
    *RUN_PROGRAM COPYOPENING
    CATEGORY = %C_CATEGORY_SET%
    CURRENCY = %RPTCURRENCY_SET%
    TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
    *ENDRUN_PROGRAM

  • Business rule - cannot run

    Gurus,
    I cannot launch a business rule. When I try to launch it, it gives a message "the rule cannot be launched because it has hidden rtp variables without default value"
    What could be he problem with it.
    THANKS

    Maybe it relates to the issue
    9900514 - "The Use Members on Data Form and Hide Prompt options for business rules attached to composite data forms apply only for runtime prompt values from the globally shared pages and POVs of a composite data form. In other words, this will only use members that are shared across all component data forms. If users want a business rule to take context from a single component data form, they should attach the business rule to that component data form and include the business rules for that component data form at the composite data form level (<Business rules for componentX>)."

  • Running Business Rules on Composite Forms

    Hi,
    I'm using Planning v11.1.2, and I am trying to get a business rule to run from a Composite web form. The version and entity are the only prompts in the business rule, and they are shared globally on the component forms. If I put the business rule on the component forms, it doesn't even make an attempt to run on save. If I put it on the composite form, it attempts to run, but fails ("An error occurred while processing this page. Check the log for details."
    Shouldn't business rules be able to run from composite forms? If not, why is the option to put them in there? If so, does anyone have any insight into this problem?
    Thanks,
    Sabrina

    Thanks John, but unfortunately, neither one of those is my issue. The first says I can't have the business rule on the base form if I have it on the composite form. The rule is not on the base form, and it still won't run on the composite form. The second one I don't understand at all. The symptom "Business Rules are not running with composite data forms when the 'Run on Save' option is checked". The cause "The Business Rule is not running when it is run from a base form." Huh? This is a cause? The solution: "You need to attach the Business Rule to the composite form, not just the base form." This would seem to indicate that I have to have the rule on both the base form and the composite form. It doesn't work no matter which way I set it up.
    Furthermore, in testing to see what's going on, I tried taking off the hide prompt option, and the rule does not appear to be taking the entity from the page member on the form (it just displays the last entity chosen).

  • Conditional vs Business rule transitions

    Any thoughts on when I should be using a business rule transition instead of a conditional? Any need to use this yet?
    I understand the primary distinction is "dynamic" but am having a hard time getting my head around the difference without an example.
    Cheers,
    Andrew
    Andrew

    Andrew,
    I think business rules are mostly useful when modeling a condition that is likely to change, and you want to make it easy to change the condition on-the-fly, without having to change and re-deploy the process.
    A simple example is when there is a transition that must be followed only when a variable value is above some predefined value (for example, a manager must approve all orders above $ 10K).
    If using a business rule, this "10K" value can be easily changed as needed.
    The ALBPM documentation has some guidelines on when to use Business Rules (section "When to use Dynamic Business Rules):
    http://edocs.bea.com/albsi/docs60/studio/designer/business_rules_editor/t_Using_Dynamic_Business_Rules.html
    My example is taken from the one in the document describing ALBPM 6.0 new features:
    http://edocs.bea.com/albsi/docs60/resources/ALBPM6.0_NewFeaturesOverview.pdf

  • NW BRM, Rules Manager and transport the BRM project through the landscape.

    Hello,
    I have a question about the working with Rules Manager and the possible difficulties of the changes management.
    The scenario is simple.
    We have created a BRM project in software component with decision table and initialized it with some values. Then we transported it to the QA and Prod system through the CMS. Note: in the SC not only the BRM project but also a WDJ, for example.
    Then business user changes the values in the decision table in Prod system by using Rules Management functionality. Everything is OK till now.
    But then we changed something in the WDJ component in the same SC and then transported it to the Pros system. After that transport the changes of the business user are lost. How can we fix it?
    Of course we can download the runtime content from the prod system, but it's bit complicated. Any ideas?

    Dear Kirill,
    SAP NW Business Rules Management web UI tool for business users (Rules Manager) has a feature "Download Rules Content" from CE 7.3 onwards.
    Please find the details of the feature in the below link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/42/89a408c265402dbaf1c39ea423d816/frameset.htm
    Using the above "Download Rules Content" feature of RulesManager, you should be able to import the latest version of the Rules Project, which contains the changes done by the business user, into NWDS. Once you have the modified rules project in NWDS you should be able to transport it to QA and Prod systems without the data loss.
    But this feature is only available from NW CE 7.3 onwards.
    Hope this helps resolve your problem.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Santosh Giri

  • Validation business rule

    Hi,
    I am trying to reconcile account 1 with accounts 2 to 8 with a validation business rule. When I define the rule, I have one line with account 1 and account 2 filled and another 6 lines with only account 2 filled. This creates an error on validating the rule.
    How can I create such a validation rule?
    Thanks,
    Arnold

    Instead of using a validation rule I have set this up as an account transformation rule which works just as well and doesn't generate any errors.
