Business rules and CalcScripts in Planning

Hi Friends
In Planning if we go to Tools-> Business Rules, we can see all the calc scripts and Business rules associated with the available plan types.Is there any way we can limit to see only business rules not the calc scripts.some of our Finance users have admin access to planning, so we do not want them to access and run calc scripts in planning.
We are on 9.3.3
Please suggest.
Thanks,

If they are admins they are probably going to see everything.
Some Oracle support docs may be of some use for users that are not admins:
"Planning Interactive user is not able to see and run calc script within Planning web [ID 738394.1]"
"Set Access Privileges For Calc Scripts In A Planning Application [ID 753367.1]"

Planning ,Business rules and Reporting Analysis Backup

Hi
Currently we have migrated our Hyperion Planning EPMA 11.1.1.2 applications from TEST to PROD on windows 2003 Server (2 boxes).Essbase Server on UNIX and Application Server is OAS.We need to take backups on daily basis for Hyperion planning, BR's ,Reporting Analysis , Financial Reporting and Essbase , Open LDAP.
But now We are taking only backups for Essbase and Open LDAP by using maxl script and Backup.bat file (Scheduled in Windows Scheduler)
As per the documentation we are going to take the backups for the Hyperion planning, BR's ,Reporting Analysis , Financial Reporting also.
Our concerns are
1)Is there any BAT files for planning , BR'S and Reporting like open LDAP Backup.BAT
2) If doesn't have how can we move ?(not manually, Using Windows Scheduler)
3) Is there any necessity to create new Batch scripts for this action?
Could you please any one help me out.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
There are no other batch scripts I am aware of, you will have to create any new ones.
In regards to backing up with business rules and planning, that would be mainly be backing up the repository.
You can also use LCM to export your objects and this can be called from command line.

Business Rules not available in Planning

I logged into EAS console and created a business rule against my planning outline. It validated properly and even runs properly from the EAS console (changes data as expected).
But when I log into Planning to assign this rule to a form the business rule is not listed either under the TOOLS > Business rules menu option or under the Business Rules Tab in Form editor.
What do I need to do to get this business rule into Planning?

I am on 9.3.1.
I have 2 servers, the essbase (hy01) and the planning (hy06). When logging into EAS I usually select the essbase server to log into (hy01). I created 1 business rule while logged into hy01 and it appeared when I logged into planning through workspace. I associated that BR with the outline hy06/AppName/DBname and used that as the location as well.
After that business rule was a grand success if I log into hy01 when logging onto EAS and then try to expand the BR node I get a "Error logging in to Business Rules. The repository has not been configured or you are not authorized to use Business Rules."
But I can log into EAS using hy06 and access the business rules just fine (including the original one). But every business rule I have created since then does not show up into planning.
So, in retrospect, I guess my question might be why can't I use Business Rules when logging into EAS through the Essbase server (hy01) but have full functionality when logging in through planning server (hy06) except for being able to then see the business rules I create in Planning through Workspace?
I am logged in as admin and no permissions have changed.

Business rules from epma to planning

Hi,
In EPMA version 11.1.12 I am having an issue with business rules. I wrote and deployed a business rule from EPMA to planning and everything was fine, the rule ran on save in the data form.
Now, I tried to run the rule a few days later and it won't run. I tried to remove and re-add the rule, but now its not visible. In planning, I can't see 'business rule security' in the administration drop down.
I deployed the application and all the rules and everything is successful, but still nothing in planning. In another application the rules are there.
How could a business rule disappear from planning and not show up again when it was deployed? Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
Dq

We sometimes see similar issues when the services are recycled in the wrong order. Perhaps a service failed or was restarted (after you had been successful in running the business rule from Planning)?

Business Rule Sequence Error in Planning

Hello Everyone,
I have a Planning application where users can run a sequence of rules by going to Tools > Business Rules and selecting the sequence. The sequence has about 8 rules in it. The sequence errors after the 7th rule (a currency conversion/calculation which takes upwards of 12 minutes). The logs do not say anything about an error, however, it does say that the active user was cleared on the database. (The BR log says that the rule never finished but the Essbase log says that it finished. The following rule in the sequence never starts.
Note: The business rule sequence completes without errors when the sequence is started from Essbase Administration Services.
Is there some type of timeout/setting update I should look at or any suggestions on where to look within the business rule?
Thank you,
Mark

Hi,
Have a read of the following :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_hp_admin/ch02s07s04.html
It explains how to set the threshold before business rules are run in the background to get around timeouts.

Calc script, Business rule and business rule macro

Hi John,
Can we use calc script , BR sequence and a BR macro against different databases at a single go.
In one calc script or BR sequence or BR macro itself can i calculate 2 databases

If possible could you not start every post with my name, there are lots of others helping on this forum and they provide excellent answers
Calc Scripts run against one database.
Sequences can contain multiple business rules, in the launch variables you can set the database to run against for each rule (outside of the planning application though)
Macros are called from a business rule and are run against the database the calling rule is being run against.

Business Rules and BPM

Anybody here knows the difference between Business Rules and BPM..
We can do pretty much everything with a Business Rules Engine as we would do with BPM , then in which scenario should we use BPM and in which scenario should we use Business Rules Engine?
Ofcourse Business Rules Engine has more complex set of rules than any BPM product in the market for .eg. ILOG Business Rules...

BPM and a rules engine are different. Both are important, but they have different uses.
Oracle BPM Studio is used by Business Analysts and Developers to model processes, integrate underlying components (including business rules) and develop user interfaces.
There's an Engine that executes the processes that have been modeled. It sends the work item instances to the right person or persons with the right data when the work item reaches an interactive activity in the process. Similarly the Engine has invokes the underlying components specified in the process when the work item instance reaches an automatic activity.
There's an out of the box Workspace runtime that lets end users manage and run their work item instances as they flow throughout the processes.
We can business rules inside the processes, but one does not replace the other.

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
hope it helps...

9.3.3 Upgrade, null pointer exception when accessing business rules and mac

Hello,
We upgraded from 9.3.1 to 9.3.3. In the Essbase Administration Services Console, when I attempt to access business rules or macros from a client PC, we get a null pointer exception. The message does not tell us much, but I cannot find more.
I can access business rules and macros using EAS Console from the server. Do I have a bad installation, or have I missed a step?
Thank you,

Hi,
You might have to re-organize your application module hierarchy to place your common code.
If your intension is to auto populate the primary key for your Entity Objects., I would suggest below common practice.
1). Create a Base Entity Impl class for your project that extends oracle.jbo.server.EntityImpl
2). Code your getDbSequence() method inside this base entity impl class
3). Make sure that all your Entity Objects extend your base entity impl class
4). Use EL expression to call this method for auto-generating primary key attribute of your Entity Object.
e.g., adf.object.getDbSequence("sequenceName")

JHeadstart, Oracle Business Rules and BPEL Process Manager

Dear JHeadstart Team,
I have some questions regarding integration of JHeadstart and Oracle Business Rules and Oracle BPEL Process Manager. As a matter of fact I don't have any work expriences with these tools so my questions may not be good and precise.
1- Using a business rule engine can dramatically increase speed of development and ease of maintenance.I had a very good exprience in using JHeadstart and Headstart in the past but I wanted to know if it is possible to use Oracle Business Rules in conjunction with the JHeadstart ? If so, What steps should be taken? Is there any known issue about this integration? Does Oracle Business Rules have any interference with JHeadstart or it is only used in model layer during insert,update,delete?
2- Is it possible to develope a system based on oracle work flow engine (Oracle BPEL Process Manager) using JHeadstart ? If so, What steps should be taken and how the changes in the flow of work would by applyed in a system developed by JHeadstart. Is there any known issue about this integration?
Any help,link to documents or general guidelines would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Navid

Couple of things I would like to add, are the following.
In the context of an ADF application usage of Oracle Business Rules most likely is in the business logic layer, but mind that it does not need to be restricted to that.
Oracle Business Rules takes so called 'facts' as input, evaluates some rules based on that and change those facts or return some result. That might be checking a business rule as defined in the JHeadstart Developers Guide. But it might also return some value that is used in a navigation rule.
Think about a page flow where after page A normally page C is presentend, but in case of some situation (like a customer ordered something and you want to present some special offering based on that) you want page B presented in between (i.e. A -> B -> C). Oracle Rules could be used to determine this page flow. This would be an example of using it in the controller layer (probably in combination with using facts that come from the model layer).
Another remark that I would like to make, is that in my opinion it does not make much sense to use Oracle Rules for business rules that logically more or less are part of your data model (like end date must be on or after begin date). You typically use Oracle Rules to implement business rules that are of a volatile nature, meaning that day-to-day business may require a change of the rules. One example is the navigation case that I mentioned before. Another (typical) example would be a rule that defines when a customer is a Gold customer.

Error message when processing business rule and dimenstion

Dear BPC Experts:
While I am testing BPC FX Restatement pacakge, I make most use of original se-up in APSHELL, and just do some some config in related dimension and business rule.

Does anyone help me figure out the reasons? I really appreciae your help.

Hi,
I am not sure if the configuration of MSMQ is fine at you side, it is better to check my how to document too as here I clearly mentioned about MSMQ steps.
This is the direct link: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/101531ad-bcf5-2b10-ac9c-c102908c1b7f

Business Rules and Planning Login Error

Hi Experts,
Today with the help of our DBA we migrated all the Production Planning Oracle database to Planning development database.
But after all, we restarted all the services and after that when we are connecting to the Console and Planning application we are getting log in erros and in console it is successfully opening all the administration services but giving fail to login to HBR.
When i login into the Planning application I am getting this error.
"Unsuccessful logon check for details"
We are using Planning 4x and Essbase 7x.
Please suggest me.
Edited by: 795788 on Jun 14, 2011 11:03 AM

I guess I did not read your post carefully before this. Did you just copy application databases or planning system database too? You probably just needed to copy application databases for copy applications from prod to dev.
You cannot log in because of difference in user authentication. when you add a user to any system, it translates that userid into a ID that identifies the user according to external system you may be using. However, if you are using PROD to connect to prod MSAD but using dev to connect to dev MSAD (or other), they potentially resolve in different internal IDs. My suggestion would be to drop planning tables and recreate/reconfigure planning in dev. Then create your applications in dev. After creating application shells, you can ask DBA to copy database for applications into application databases followed by copying essbase apps from prod to dev. For HBR, you should just export rules from PROD and import to DEV. Its more involved but much cleaner.

Some critical errors in Planning, Business Rules and FR

Dear All,
I am facing some critical errors in Hyperion Plannign 11.1.1.3. We did the migration of BR rules from one server to another server. Migration went well. When i running any one of the rule, it throws the below errors:
If i run any one of the FR reports from workspace, it throwing the same errors
