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.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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,

    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

  • Business Rules in Planning 11.1.2.1

    Hi,
    I'm having a strange problem in Planning 11.1.2.1 dataforms. I added a business rule and selected Run on Save, Use members in dataform and Hide Prompt in a dataform. However when I press the save button, the Business Rule prompt appears, and the values of the prompt parameters are not filled with the current page selection (the specific business rule has 2 run-time prompt variables), while I was expecting it to simply start running without showing the prompt and ask the members to the user.
    Anyone knows what could be the problem?
    Thank you

    Its worth having a look at below link:

  • Security for Business Rules on Planning Menus

    We recently upgraded to 11.1.2.3.500. Planning is patched to 11.1.2.3.501. We have right-click menus that are used on our data forms to launch business rules. We are finding that users without access to the business rules are able to see the rules on the menu and run them successfully from the right-click menu.
    When the user goes to Tools > Business Rules and clicks "Display only launchable rules, rulesets, and calc scripts", it shows no rules listed, yet when they use the right-click menu, they can see the items from the menu that are associated with a rule, and use that item to run the rule. If you go to Tools > Job Console, you can see the rule as executed under the user's name.
    In our old version, 11.1.2.1, if the user did not have access to the business rule, then the item would not show on the menu and therefore they couldn't run the rule.
    Is this a known bug in the 11.1.2.3.500? Any ways to resolve or workaround this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Have you had a look at the planning 502 patch to see if this has been resolved, sometimes the bugs addressed in the patch are quite cryptic so it is worth trying the patch out anyway, if you have not already it is probably worth logging with Oracle.
    Cheers

  • 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.

    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?

  • 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?

    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.
