Admin rights to validate/execute business rules

Hello everyone,
we set access priviliges and administration rights in shared services by assigning users to particular groups. We assigned two users to the administration group 'hypadmins' who now have access to all applications. In Essbase they can access applications, affect changes in the outline, validate the outline etc. However, they cannot validate or execute business rules (Error: Cannot connect to server). The problem does not persist when connecting to the server using a different (existing) admin user. The access priviliges for all rules are set to the admin group 'hypadmins' (and no other). Can anyone help with respect to identifying the source of the problem?
p.s. Can anyone explain what the Essbase Native Security Mode is?
Thanks in advance
Florian

943380, I'm not picking on you, and I am glad you found an answer to your issue. My ire is saved for whoever thought that a blog equals copying knowledgebase articles from Oracle Support and sticking it on his blog. Why oh why oh why do I even bother paying support? And I suppose why oh why oh why do I kill myself writing blog content when I could just "borrow" it word for word from Oracle?

Validate all business rule

hi, is there a method to validate all business rules quickly in an application?

I take it you are talking about EAS business rules, if so I am aware of being able to validate all the rules at once.
The only way I could think of was to use the command line launcher to run through all the rules and use the -validate parameter.
Cheers

Strange error when trying to validate a business rule

I get this strange error when I try to validate a business rule:
Detail:Cannot calculate. Essbase Error(1200369): Error optimizing formula for [69972] (line 38): can not cross members from the same dimension
The rule is:
FIX (@RELATIVE("SG&A", 0))
"69972" = (("60001" -> "C1130" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees") + ("69971" -> "C1130" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees")) * "SG&A % of C1130" -> "No Cost Center" -> "PNULL" -> "No Employee" * (("Headcount" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees") - ("C1130"->"Headcount" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees")) / (("Headcount" -> "SG&A" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees") - ( "C1130"->"Headcount" -> "SG&A" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees")) ;
ENDFIX

Error msg states that you have used crossdim operator with the member of same dim. Cross check again.
EX:
"C1130"->"Headcount" -> "SG&A" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees"
Are all of these members belong to different dimesions?

Issue with executing Business Rules from Planning web

Hi,
We are using Hyperion Planning 9.3.0.1 and we keep getting an issue with the Business Rules. We get an error if we try to run the rules from Planning web. The same rules validates and executes fine if we run it from AAS. This issue gets resolved if we restart the Planning and RMI service. But this issue keeps happening randomly. Is there a permanent resolution to it? Is it a bug or I am missing something here?
Thanks and Regards,
Amol

Hi,
Have you installed any of the patches for 9.3.0.1, I think it goes up to 9.3.0.1.09
One of the fixes was :-
8-665086601 (6588823) – When the Business Rules connection to the relational database is lost, Business Rules does not reconnect to it. To solve this problem, an optional property, HBR_CONNECTION_VALIDATE_TIME, was added to HBRServer.properties. This property specifies a time interval for checking the connection between Business Rules and the relational database. If the connection is not valid, a new connection is established. The time interval is specified in milliseconds and defaults to 300,000 (five minutes).
Though I know there has been more attention to fixing known issues on 9.3.1 than 9.3.0.1

Error while executing business rule "Please increase CalcLockBlock setting"

Hello,
An error is occouring when I execute a particular business rule. The following message appears when I view the error from Job Console:
"Dynamic calc processor cannot allocate more than [100] blocks from the heap. Please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry"
No such error is occouring when I execute any other business rule.
Can anyone please tell me how to resolve it?
Regards,
Sa'ad

Hi Sa'ad,
in the business rule your getting the error message is a calculation, where the result needs more than 100 blocks to access to.
The error comes from three possible causes:
1. Lockblock setting is low (essbase.cfg)
2. Your data cache setting is to small
3. Block size is to large
I think you have to increase data cache settings (by default 8192 KB) to.
Cheers

Executing Business Rule / Calculation from Excel - Essbase

Hi All,
Currently I am trying to run the calculations / Business rules from essbase after locking and sending data. I am using the below code to run the business rule / calculation from essbase.
Sub RunBusinessRule()
On Error Resume Next
X = EssVCalculate(Empty, "AggFlash", False)
MsgBox "Business Rule executed successfully"
End Sub
The issue is that my code gives me a message that the business rule is executed successfully but the rule keeping running in the background for some time. Actually i need a code which will check the status of the process of calculation and when it actually gets completed I should get a message that it's been done. Please expedite.

Hi,
I take it you mean calc script and not business rule as really they are separate.
The reason you get a message straight away is because you have the synchronous parameter set to false, if you set it to true it should not return until it is comple
e.g.
X = EssVCalculate(Empty, "AggFlash", True)

Don't want to assign Admin role to form with business rule

Hello,
I have a business rule assigned to a form in EPMA mode. Currently, I have to assign Admin role to the users in order for them to see the name of rule display on the left side of the panel when the form is opened. How can I have the name of rule display for users without having to assign them as Admin role in EPMA mode?
FYI .. This same form with attached rule was displaying just fine for these users as I assigned them as regular user (not admin role) under a specific user group folder for Classic mode. These users can change data, click save button, and then the rule would run on save.
Thank you so much for sharing.

John .. Thank you so much for your previous reply.
Here is additional information. I hope it provides a clearer understanding on this issue.
1) To answer your question - Yes, I used Calc Manager to create the business rule named xyz.
2) The Shared Services version that I used to provision a test user is 11.1.1.3.24.
3) Here are the steps that I did for testing:
step a) in Shared Services - I created a test user named: cashtest (Native status)
step b) in Shared Services - I provisioned user "cashtest" with the following roles for these categories
Business Rules -> Server 123 -> Interactive User
Essbase: Server abc:1 -> Server Access
Foundation -> Shared Services -> Calculation Manager Administrator -> Planning Calculation Manager Administrator
Planning -> Forecast -> Administrator
As you can see under the Planning category for application "Forecast", I had to provision for user "cashtest" as "Administrator" in order
for user "cashtest" to see the business rule named "xyz" displayed on the left panel when a form was opened.
Prior to this "administrator" provisioning, I tried to provision the roles of "interactive user or Planner" to user "cashtest" but the business
rule would not display on the left panel when a form was opened.
I wonder if this is a software bug.
Thank so much again for your guidance.

Problem executing Business Rule in BPM 11g

I've createad one business object CPFBObject which contains several attributes. My requirement is that if relationship is parent the it goes to human task otherwise to end. for thet I've written the business rule which is as not working properly. Please suggest what to do?

Hi
I do not know why business rule is not working. But, if "relationship" is an attribute of the Business Object "CPFBObject", then you can also use an exclusive gateway to perform the conditional branching logic. See this example image: http://imgur.com/AhePz

Planning Admin or users cant see Business Rule

Hi - When I log onto Planning with the 'owner' id, I am able to see all the Business Rules associated with that cube. But when I log in with an ID that has Administrator permissions for that Planning application, I'm not able to view any of the Business Rules. I am able to see all the calc scripts associated with that cube.
I have created a group in Essbase with permissions to that cube and have calc access. then I log onto Business Rules designer and assigned my Rules to that group, but I'm still missing some permission somewhere and I can't figure it out.
Planning 3.5.1
Essbase 7.0
Thanks.

Something else I have noticed, when I create a form in Planning using the 'owner' id and then associate Business Rules with it. Then I log in with Planning Administrator permissions and go into that form to in 'enter data' mode, I dont see that 'Launch Rules' button to select the rules to run on that web form.

Validate data - business rules.

Hi,
We're using CDM Ruleframe to implement our business rules. As there was a need to bulk load a bunch of data, I disabled the business rules temporarily using the procedure disable_all_br.
Is there a way to find out (afterwards) which of the records are in conflict with one or more business rules? I now that it can be checked for the static business rules via the procedure validate_all_statis_br, but what about the dynamic ones?
Your replies are highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Nancy.

Hi Vijay,
just to make sure that I understand your scenario correctly:
You import some business data in a table into the BRF+ (e. g. column1 = country, column2 = city ...). Now you want to process the lines of the table via a decision table namely one column (i. e. the corresponding business data) is equal to a condition column in your decision table (e. g. one condition column = country).
If this is the case I am afraid that there is no other option than to loop over your table with the data and evaluate the line with the decision table.
Concerning your performance problems:
In general there are a lot of notes that optimize the performance for the processing of decision tables, see these blogs:
Great Performance Improvements in NW DSM/BRFplus
Notes for Performance Optimization in BRFplus
When you have your decision table in single match mode (so when the first matching entry is hit, the processing of the decision table stops and the result is returned) you can tune the performance be rearranging the row so that the ones that will match most propably are at the top of the decision table.
Maybe there are combinations of data in your input that do not need to be processed in the decision table (I do not know your scenario, but theoretically that is possible) so perhaps you can reduce the amount of data that has to be processed by excluding these entries in the loop
Hope that helps

Essbase Error(1200370) while executing business rule

Hi,
I am getting the error - Cannot calculate. Essbase Error(1200370): Error executing formula for [Average] (line 15): attempt to cross a null member in function [@X]
on executing the following script-
FIX(@RELATIVE("AltHierarchyProducts",0))
FIX("FY13","Draft1","Budget")
"Average"= @MEMBER(@CONCATENATE("P", @NAME (@PARENT(@CURRMBR ("Products")))))->"Variable" * (("Sales"->"Month1+ "Sales"->"Month2" +"Sales"->"Month3")/3);
ENDFIX
ENDFIX
"Variable" is an account dimension member. When I remove the '->"Variable"' part, the script executes, but obviously gives no result since the account member is missing.
I have read a lot of posts on this error but could not resolve this issue.
A basic view of the hierarchy is as under -
Products -
AltHierarchy
--Cat1
---Prod1
---Prod2
--Cat2
---Prod3
---Prod4
PCat1->"Variable" and Pcat2->"Variable" are the placeholders where the variable values are stored.
Please help.
Thanks.
Note: I am using Essbase 11.1.2.1

Is it possible that your @MEMBER function never actually returns anything. You have assumed that it works but perhaps it never works and it is only when you add the cross-dimensional operator that the issue becomes apparent.
e.g. If it is not working:
Without cross dim: "Average"= @MEMBER()* (("Sales"->"Month1+ "Sales"->"Month2" +"Sales"->"Month3")/3);
I'm not sure but perhaps the above will return something like #missing* (("Sales"->"Month1+ "Sales"->"Month2" +"Sales"->"Month3")/3)
With cross dim:
"Average"= @MEMBER()->"Variable" * (("Sales"->"Month1+ "Sales"->"Month2" +"Sales"->"Month3")/3);
Which I would assume would fail.
Do you see what I'm getting at? You could test that theory fairly easy.

Why admin user cannot create Business Rules ?

Hi All,
Why admin user can't create Business Rules. We've to create other userID and give the required roles and then we create Busines rules right ? Pls. advice

Historically, Business rules has an internal "native" admin user. When Hyperion is externalized, this internal id can conflict with the Shared Services admin user. Effectively the two admin ids start to conflict and cause issues. There are methods to resolve this issue, but I suggest as a rule not using the admin id for business rules, therefore bypassing the problem.

John, Thanks for the response.
The user has all provisions in SS for Essbase and Applications (Server Access as well as Application Administrator). I can explore all the Essbase applications in EAS.
I have double checked all the provisions and refershed security in EAS. I am still getting the same error.
Here are a few more interesting things that I have noticed from debugging. The only account with the ability to create "New Locations" or Associate a Business Rule with an Essbase Application is "admin". If I deprovision "admin" in SS, I can no longer create New Locations. If I add the provisions back for "admin" then I can create New Locations. So, that tells me that BR is looking at SS for provisioning of "admin".
Here is another interesting message in hbrserver.log.

Any additional thoughts?

Search for member name in WebForms and Business Rules - 11.1.2.1

Hi,
Client has a hierarchy with two parents (Owned and Managed) within a dimension. The 'Managed' parent is no longer valid. Thus they want to eliminate it and move it's children under the 'Owned' member. However there could be ramifications in Business Rules and/or WebForms. Is there a way to search all Business Rules and WebForms for 'Managed' to see which Business Rules and/or WebForms would be affected?
Or is best way to extract all the WebForms and Business Rules to xml files via LCM and then write custom script to search the files? Not sure if this functionality is already there or not.
They are on 11.1.2.1

I don't think "Show Usage" picks up Business Rules that are in the Calculation Manger.
Also check the Member Formulas - easiest to do in the EAS (view the Outline, and the member formulas are displayed. Otherwise, in Planning, you would need to go into each member individually, and that would take forever). And if you're using Partitions or MRAs, you should check them, too.
I'm assuming you're doing all of this in a copy of the application, and not on a "live" app, right? So you can make the change and then validate the Business Rules and Outline, and the error messages will tell you where "Managed" was being used.

Is this 11.1.2.1 by any chance?
We had this as well, but resolved the issue with this KB:
Error: "Error connecting to Essbase server EssbaseCluster-1" When Trying to Connect Business Rules to Essbase [ID 1328483.1]
     Modified 25-JUL-2011 Type PROBLEM Status PUBLISHED
In this Document
Symptoms
Cause
Solution
References
Applies to:
Hyperion Essbase - Version: 11.1.2.1.000 and later [Release: 11.1 and later ]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
in version 11.1.2.1, after switching Essbase from using host name to a cluster name, in Essbase Administration Services (EAS) it is no longer possible to navigate lower than "EssbaseCluster-1" in the tree of Locations in Business Rules. The following error occurs:
"Error connecting to Essbase server EssbaseCluster-1".
This happens with both pre-existing and new business rules.
Cause
This issue has been identified as unpublished BUG 11783671 - Unable To Select Outline For Essbase Rule If Essbase Cluster1 Is The Server
Solution
The current workaround is:
1. Search for the file named 'essbase.properties' under %EAS_HOME%. Note that normally on a windows setup %EAS_HOME% points to the following path:
":\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\eas"
If it does not exist, create a blank text file and name it 'essbase.properties' and place it under %EAS_HOME%\server\bin
2. Open it in notepad and add the following setting to the beginning of the file:
aps.resolver.urls=http://<APSSEVERNAME>:APSPORT/aps
e.g aps.resolver.urls=http://server1:13080/aps
NOTE: The line is case sensitive
3. Save the file and restart the EAS server.
