Annoying Cache-Full Problems when Launching Business Rules

Hello,
We are using Planning 1.1.1.3 with Essbase 11.1.1.3.000.
I am not sure whether it is suitable place to ask this problem. If this is the wrong place to post, please kindly let me know.
Our client encountered a lot of data cache full errors recently, but the cache is set as usual and no significant change in BRs discovered.
To better tune the cache settings and BR launch procedure, I would like to know the answers to below questions:
1. Is there any garbage collection mechanism related to Essbase cache?
If we encountered data cache full error, we can only feel confident before next BR execution after restart the application and see the cache return to 0. But I think it stupid because we shouldn't have to manually reset the cache. Is there any official document or explanation about cache release mechanism of Essbase cache?
2. How big is enough?
We set the data cache for this application as 4G and MEMSCALINGFACTOR 2, so it should be 8G total data cache assigned. I wondered is there any guideline about how big the cache should be regarding to the dimension size, fix range, calculation function and so on?
3. Do other operations also use up Essbase cache?
For example, opening a 5000-row ad-hoc excel form, 100 users submitting data at the same time...
Please help and thanks in advance for any answers!

Thank you John,
We have found that it is the entity dimension that should be responsible to this problem.
I remember we have encountered this kind of problem before when we aggregate an application with the entity dimension hierarchy mixed with shared and stored instances of the same level 0 members. To put it simple, there are three members under "Entity" dimension member, which represents different view of entity hierarchies of same level 0 members. the first one has stored level 0 entity members while the other two have shared ones. And at that time, our client added another hierarchy with shared level 0 members, but they did not put this tree under "Entity" dimension member directly, but rather put it under the first child of "Entity", which is the one with stored level 0 members.
It is a little bit confusing to describe the situation only by text. Anyway, at that time, the first hierarchy had both stored and shared instances of the same group of level 0 members. And the data cache is always full when aggregating. and after we moved the forth hierarchy to another tree so under that hierarchy the level 0 members are all shared instances, the aggregation worked flawlessly.
I wondered why this happened and consider this is related to detailed calculation logic of Essbase. May you shed some light on this topic? Thank you with all my heart!
Warm Regards,
John

Smart View error on Launching Business Rule

Hi ,
I am in Planning 9.3.1
After connecting to Planning Webform from Smartview, i am trying to Launch Business Rule attched to the webform
Hyperion--> Calculation Option--> Rules on form
It open the new BR Launching window with all parameter selected in the Webform Page drop down list but when i trying to change the Arguments
by clicking on the icons or if i am clicking on the Launch button getting following error
"Substitution Vars XML is malfunctioned, can't initialize dialog"
any idea or tought on this.
-KK

There is an article on this issue on "My Oracle Support"
SmartView "Substitution Vars XML is malformed, can't initialize dialoge.." Message is Displayed after Clicking on the Magnify Button [ID 752508.1]
Symptoms
Error message in SmartView after clicking on the magnify button "Substitution Vars XML is malformed, can't initialize dialog.." is displayed.
Planning web forms with Business Rule (Runtime prompt) set to "Run on Save". When submitting data in SmartView, it will then open a separate window to allow changes to the run time prompt values.
Cause
This issue is caused by substitution variables values containing double quotes or the '&' signs.
Solution
This is a noted bug, but the following will help as a workaround to the problem:
1. Login to EAS as administrator.
2. Next navigate to the enterprise view.
3. Select the Essbase Servers.
4. Right-click on your server.
5. Select Edit.
6. Select Variables.
7. Remove double quotes and '&' signs from substitution variable value.

Launching Business Rules

Hi All,
I am using EPM system 11 and have created a classic planning application. I have created two business rules for calculating data in the dataforms(through the business rules in EAS).
Is it a must to launch Business Rules with every restart of services and each time we access the dataforms on which Br has been applied?
Any help will be appreciated .....
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
You don't need to launch the business rule each time you restart the services, the data will be held in essbase and will only need recalculating when required, so you only need to recalculate the data if it changes e.g. changes are entered into forms.

Hi,
In AAS, under HBR node, right click Administration and refresh user list.
You could also try to refresh the security from shared services.

Launch business rules simultaneously from multiple different locations?

Hi All, Thanks in Advance !!
I need to launch business rules simultaneously in Hyperion planning from different multiple locations..
So ,Is there any trouble if i launch a business rule simultaneously from 4-5 locations on same planning application through workspace.
Thanks
Vivek Jaiswal

If you are running the same business rule multiple times then it is trying to calculate and access the same section of the essbase database or are using different RTPs, is this really what you want to do.
You can certainly run multiple rules, I take it you are doing some sort of load testing.

When create business partner, I make some entry like :
Business partner category : organization
BP Role                           : Landlord with vendor account
Grouping                          : external number assignment
Company Code                 : 1000
The problem is everytime i try to input vendor number, it always failed.
The Vendor account field always display ' <external> '
It's strange.. the vendor field it's seem locked by grouping
What should I do??

Hi,
I would like to suggest you some SAP notes that contain useful information aobut customer-vender intergration of ERP2005.
956054 BP_CVI Customer-vendor integration as of ERP2005 (ECC600)
This notes describes the changes (new development) of CVI AND the necessary customizing settings.
In short, CVI is now bidirectional.
1. BP -> Customer/Vendor: it depends on the roletype configuration, if a customer/vender is created.
2. Customer/Vendor -> BP: it depends on the account group if a BP is created.
Data is changed then synchronoously.
Further notes that might be of interest.

When launching Bus rules from certain dataforms get Planning login prompt

HI,
I have a strange problem only on certain forms in my planning application.
I find on some data forms when the user launches an associated business rule, after selecting the rule, and clicking launch, instead of the normal progress bar window appearing, in that popup window, and new planning login prompt appears with a message saying the session has timedout. If you close that window , you can continue using Planning as normal, but you just can't launch that rule from that particular form.
The same Business rule, has been linked to another dataform, and actually runs normally there.
Has anyone else also experienced this problem?
Regards,. Imran

turned out to be an internet explorer issue.Thanks.

Error connecting to Essbase Server when running business rules

We recently migrated from v9.3 to v11.1.1.3. I have two users with Administrative access who need to run business rules on a native Essbase application, but cannot. They get the message 'Error connecting to Essbase Server'. They get this message when trying to set this execution database. They can't even expand the server to see the list of applications. I have tried deprovisioning them in Shared Services, refreshing security, then adding it all back in and refreshing again, but it doesn't work. My own id has identical access to that which I'm granting them, and I have no problems. I even created a native user with the same access and it works as well. No matter what I do, I cannot get these two users to be able to run their business rules in EAS.
We also have a Planning application, and the Planning Administrative user has the same issue. However, this user is able to get around it by running rules using the Planning connection rather than the Essbase connection. She has the same issue of not seeing anything under the Essbase Servers when trying to set the execution database though.
In version 9, we were not using Shared Services for Essbase security. Unfortunately our consultant chose to set it up using Shared Services security when migrating, and according to the documentation, one cannot go back to using Native Essbase security.
I also tried running the Externalize Users wizard and the three users with issues failed to externalize. My own id did, and the native user I created succeeded.
Has anyone experienced an issue like this or have any ideas on how to resolve?
Thanks,
Sabrina

Follow up - Oracle has finally resolved this. It's so simple, yet no one thought to check until now. The three users with problems all have mixed case user id's in ldap. They have always logged into EAS with all lower case ids. In version 9, on native security, this was never a problem. But in version 11 using Shared Services (not sure which factor changed it), it doesn't work. The simple solution is to log in with their exact mixed case user ids. It only took Oracle three months and the creation of a bug issue to figure this out for us.

Problems exposing a Business Rule in a composite as a Web Service

Hi
I am currently facing a problem invoking a Composite from within the BPEL.
Scenario: I have created a composite which has one Business Rule Component. The composite deploys successfully to the Web Logic Server. (Successful compilation: 0 errors, 0 warnings). However there is a number of "ignoring messages" which do not affect the deploy. These ignoring messages could be the souce of my problem which I will explain later. Example of an ignoring message
ignoring C:\Work\Project\ValidationProcess\Rules\xsd\PDQuality_DecisionService_1Types.xsd; not on source path
Now if I create a new project composite which has a BPEL component. The BPEL component has a partner link to call the Composite mentioned above. When assigning variables i.e Input variables to the partnerlink service, I notice that the payload of the invoke variables ( TO Section) has an error "Exception - Problem building schema!"
To prove that the partner service is working. I can view the WSDL in Internet Explorer. I can use the Eclipse WTP workbench to invoke the service ( Composite with Rules ). Now could it be that I am getiing this problem because initially when deploying the service (Composite with Rules) I was getting these ignoring messages and could it be that I should add all the ignoring source to the source path.... OR am I just embarking on a tangent!
Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated.. Thanks in advance

Hi, tony.lee,
you can set the business rule on the forms which you want in these steps:
administration--manage data forms selected form edit--business rule option--add the business rule you want to launch .

Error when opening business rules table in BPC 4.2

Hi,
I get the error "Unexpeted server error" when I try to open the business rules table in BPC 4.2 SP6.
I've tried the optimisation, processing the cubes and restarting the send governor services.

HI,
Hope you had a goo festive season.
Yes, I'm still experiencing the problem. I can't even create a new table in eAdmin.
Is there another way to access the tables or is there a setting I need to modify in order to get this to work?

Opening Balances changes when running business rules

Good morning,
We are experiencing problems with the opening balance calculation (Flow: F100) when running the consolidation business rules in BPC 10.1.
For example, in 2013.12, Entity 1111 and Account C_ENL_DIV, the ending balance (Flow: F900) is 180.000 euros. When we run the copy opening balance package, the opening balance (F100) for 12.2014 is 180.000 euros, what which is correct.
The problem comes when some consolidation rules are executed, for example, AU_DIVCTA. For the previous case, we can see that the opening balance changes, previously it was 180.000 euros, coinciding with the final balance of 12.2013 and now the cell is empty, what which is incorrect. This occurs for more than one business rule.
The definition for the AU_DIVCTA business rule, is the next one. You can see that this do not affect to the opening balance in any case.
We attached an Excel where you can see this and much more similar cases the definition for the business rule AU_DIVCTA:

EPMA Batch Client - Can I launch business rules created in Calc Manager?

I'm currently on a project where we have implemented an EPMA Planning app (v 11.1.1.2), and we need to schedule business rules to run in batch. In the past, I used the command line launcher to perform this task. Unfortunately, the command line launcher is really a part of EAS, so it would appear that I cannot use this method to launch a rule created in Calc Manager. Is this correct?
It looks like my other option is to use the EPMA Batch Client. In looking at the "Execute" command in the documentation, it doesn't reference the ability to run a business rule. The docs are fairly limited, so I'm wondering if I really CAN launch a business rule from here.
Has anyone scheduled a business rule (created in Calc Manager) to run in batch? If so, what method did you use? If all else fails, I can create a calc script and run it from MaxL, but I'd rather not have multiple versions of the code floating around.
Thanks!
- Jake

Hi Jake,
One of the known issues in 11.1.1.3 is :-
You cannot launch a business ruleset with runtime prompts from the Planning command line launch (7205464).
Whether this means you can't run calc manager BR's from command line I am not sure.
There is no documentation in this area so I assume it can't be done yet.
Cheers
