Hi again. I try to explain the problem I have. I am completely new to BRF transaction and it's functionality. I need to learn it fast. When I started out with help.sap I ran into a problem I cannot find a solution for.
First, I created an application class with BRFAPL01 as instructed. Then I ran BRF. After typing the just created Application Class name into BRF Objects tree I got following red error message:
Class ID <APPL> for application class SYSTEM not found
Message no. BRF124
I am testing this on IDES system, and SYSTEM is one of pre-created classes. Whatever I try to do, I still get the same error. I created classes of my own as instructed in the help but BRF always gives the same error.
If anyone has even slightest idea how to move on please let me know, becose I have a date set when I have to give a report on the functionality and it is not far
Thank You ahead.
P.S. deleting the class SYSTEM does not work

Facing problem while assining the 'Expression and Actions' to the Events in BRF giving the error 'Class ID is missing'.
Created an event called 'Z_My_Event_01' of implementation class '0E001', object (Event) is created succesfully but while assining the Expression and Action to that Event it shows the error 'Class ID is missing'.
Thanks

Business Rules Framework (BRF) Implementation

Hi Gurus,
We are in SRM 7.0 (EHP2) ,Extended Classic and planning to migrate from Application Controlled workflow to Business Rules Framework( BRF) workflow.
As of now we have BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI to determine approvers dynamically based on Approval limits custom table and based on cost center for SCs.
For POs its based on Purchasing Hierarchy
Please let me know how to handle dynamic approvals for SC and PO.
Also please let me know how to handle the opens SCs and POs and their migration,switch back to application controlled if things doesn't work fine.
Thanks in advance

BRF - Business Rules Framework - getting started

Hi,

Regarding Business Rule Framework

Hi,
Could u please explain the process of Business Rule Framework(BRF)
and how to create this Business Rule Framework(BRF)
explain with step by step process.

Hi,
To have a BRF object, you should have BRF Application Class.
to do this -
1. go to tcode - BRFAPL01, create one.
2. then go to tcode BRF- create object with the same name as Application class.
3. Now run the program CRM_BRF_COPY_IMPL_CLASSES , and give your brf object name which you created in above steps.
4. now your BRF object is created with standard implementation classes.
5. Go to tcode BRF, in All Groups folder, you can now create actions, events, rules using the standard implementation classes.
6. If you want to create your own implementation classes, go to tcode BRFIMC01 and create new ones.
refer to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/dc/38bb4006d9cc38e10000000a155106/frameset.htm

BRF (Business Rules Framework)

Hi all,
Anybody knows what is the scope of BRF (Business Rules Framework) and for what is used for? Advantages and disadvantages?
I already read the information in help.sap.com But is very technically and unclearly for me.
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

Hi Ricardo,
Here is just a detailed info for your questions
BRF - is an event-controlled runtime environment for processing rules.
The BRF also contains a maintenance environment in which a rule administrator can edit and configure BRF objects.
The BRF is object-oriented and therefore offers appropriate enhancement mechanisms that are modification-free and upgrade-independent.
Advantages
        Easy implementation and configuration of rules with minimal coding
        Easy maintenance of rules as there is not much coding involved
        Easy extension in order to support application specific data
Reward Points if found helpfull

Need Information on Sourcing cockpit and Business rule framework

Hi Experts,
I am having 2 general qustions :
1. ) What is sourcing Cokpit and what are the things that we can done from sourcing cockpit.Please explain in detail.
example : what i knw abt sourcing is...... It means from where we are going to source our material means vendor.
My idea is to know everything abt sourcing cockpit.
2. ) In SRM 7.0 what is the Busniess rule framework concept and if i need to configure a BRF approval process with respect to Shopping cart and a Purchase order in Extended classic scenario then how do i need to move ahead.
Thanks
Sunny

Hi,
Q no 1:
Sourcing Cockpit is an area from where you can source the requirements..There are two ways by which sourcing can be done.
1. The Purchase requisiton created from ECC 6.0 can be pushed to SRM for Sourcing . Either direct material with Part no or
Service requirement without part number
2. The shopping cart created in SRM can be converted to sourcing.
once the requirments are flown from ECC 6.0 and SRM . in the SRM server in sourcing node--click Carry our sourcing.
you can get all the requirements.
From this you can convert it to Purchase order,contract,Auction. Bid invitation.
Q. no 2 :Business Rule Framework.(BRF)
This is related to Workflow .From SRM 7.0 this workflow is called Process controlled workflow. Only by simple rules the
Workflow for Approval process for P.O ,Contract,Bid invitation can be done.
If you are SAP ABAP person they you can confugure this .Normally ABAP person will do this.. Please go to S ID and get the
details there for Business rule framework
Just check in this forum in Search you can get more details and notes
go to Google.com and enter business rule framework you get more material

Business rule framework

Hi gurus,
I would like to know some details on BRF - Business Rule Framework...is it a technical stuff of functional..
expecting answers

Here is a brief description on BRF...
TheBRF isa Runtime and Maintenance Environment for the Processing, Implementation and Configuration of Technical and Business Rules.
An SAP Application using BRF raises BRF-Events
&#56256;&#56451;To eachBRF-Event, a number of Rules can be assigned.
&#56256;&#56451;A Rule works like: If<booleanExpression> then<Actions>
&#56256;&#56451;An Expression is an object that returns a result.
&#56256;&#56451;Expressions may be nested.
&#56256;&#56451;Usually, the result type is primitive (C, N, B, I, ...)
&#56256;&#56451;An Action is an object, that acts on another(usually non-BRF) object.
&#56256;&#56451;Actions may use Expressions as Parameters.
Events may be considered the entrypoint/gateway to Rule Evaluation and Execution in BRF
&#56256;&#56452;Events are implemented at specific points within a business processe.g.: when a document is stored, when a payment is transferred etc.
&#56256;&#56452;An Event is associated with one or more rules which wil be executed when the Event is triggered
&#56256;&#56452;Triggering an Event can be done via coding
&#56256;&#56452;Events can define the context:
&#56256;&#56452;E.g. crm event contextcrmt_brf_event_contex
BRF Expressions
&#56256;&#56452;Expressions are BRF objects that return a definite result
&#56256;&#56452;Boolean Expressions form the IF part of the Rule
&#56256;&#56452;Expressions can be e.g. of the following types:
    Constant
    Fieldof a Structure(DataSource)
    BooleanThree-operandArithmetic
    SAP Formula(as usedin BADI implementations)
BRF Actions
&#56256;&#56452;Actions are BRF objects that start some activity as part of Rule Execution
&#56256;&#56452;They form the THEN part of the Rule
&#56256;&#56452;Standard BRF Actions can be of the following types:
   ExecuteFunctionModule / Method
&#56256;&#56452;Actions are usually application specific.
For example, some Actions in FS are:Start Workflow/RaiseBOR-Event Status change Trigger BRF Event Message into the CRM Log
BRF Rulesets
Definition of Rule Set:The rule set concept offers the option of grouping rules that are connected in the business sense, but distributed over several events, and then activatingor deactivating them jointly.

Next JDeveloper: Business Rules framework?

After Struts and Toplink I'd like to see a business rule framework (like Ruleframe) in Jdeveloper.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Business Rules framework?

In ancient times I have used Headstart Ruleframe to implement the business rules.
What is the best strategy nowadays to implement business rules in an apex web application. Preferably all the BR's would be applied to in the database through triggers and packages so that the BR's ara always validated even when trying to modify records through sql plus.
Thanks,
Joep

You might want to look at Rules Manager/Expression Filters:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e14919/exprn_intro.htm#EXPRN001
which has it's own {forum:id=268} forum.
As it sounds like you're looking for something that's independent of the (APEX) front-end, it's probably a good idea to take this question to other DB forums: Database General, SQL & PL/SQL etc.

SRM Workflow (Business Rule Framework)

Hello!
I hope I will find valuable tips and information.
I was researching at the moment about the SAP SRM BRF workflow. In our company, SRM is 5.0. With version 7.0 (or 7.0.1), the existing workflow concept has been revised to be strong. Now I try to work out differences. (Pro / Cons, functions, etc.)
Does anyone here have more information, or any sources?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
It is called "Process-Controlled Workflow". SRM 7.0 support 2 workflow frameworks.
Application-Controlled Workflow: like SRM 5.0. Development in Workflow Graphical Editor or N-Step BADI development.
Process-Controlled Workflow: Process Level definition in customize table and Agent BADI.
Main business value is TCO. Application consultant or ABAP consultant can manage Process-Controlled Workflow implementation without workflow consultant.
If SRM 5.0 functionality is fine and no often approval step change, upgrade customers can use Application-Controlled Workflow without new implementation.
New functionality will be delivered in Process-Controlled Workflow only.

Masa

Why to use business rules in biztalk or is there is any alternative to using vocabularies in biztalk?

Thanks in advance

Business rules framework: Organizations may need to process information differently depending on the data submitted. In the case of BizTalk, information is submitted
via a message, and data within that message may require special processing once it has been received by an orchestration. The orchestration must be able to determine what that data is and how to process it. Additionally, rules around how that data is interpreted
may change at any given time, even after the solution is in production. For example, a rule may be required that allows processing messages as long as a specific field has a value less than 10, but must stop processing and notify an administrator when this
value is equal to or exceeds 10. The ability to store and access such a rule and to make it available for customization through a user-friendly interface is provided by the BizTalk business rules framework.
Vocabularies: They are specific to
business rules framework. These consist of all defined values that you can use when creating
a rule, including constants, predicates, XML nodes, and so on.
The terms used to define rule conditions and actions are usually expressed by domain or industry-specific nomenclature. For example, an e-mail user writes rules in terms
of messages "received from" and messages "received after," while an insurance business analyst writes rules in terms of "risk factors" and "coverage amount."
Underlying this domain-specific terminology are the technology artifacts (objects, database tables, and XML documents) that implement rule conditions and rule actions.
Vocabularies are designed to bridge the gap between business semantics and implementation.

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.
2010-01-14 11:42:34,377 WARN [ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '3' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)' com.hyperion.hbr.security.HbrSecurityAPI - Error retrieving Indirect Users and Groups.
I get the above message when I 'Right Mouse' on Administration under Business Rules and select "Refresh User List".
Any additional thoughts?
