Business Rules in OBPM 10.3.1

Hi,
I have a question related to business rules in OBPM 10.3.1.
Is it possible to run a query using the advanced editor in the business rule?, is it possible to execute a method inside a bpm object?
Seems from what I have tested that only conditions against the project varibles can be used but probably I am wrong...
Thank you very much

No - you have it right.
There is a very simple rules editor in Oracle BPM 10g that uses the project variables and business parameters (no instance variables). The good news is that it is very simple to use and it is easy for end users to edit the business rules.
The only time I've seen it used is from inside a Business Rule transition. Never done it, but I think you could invoke them from a method if you use the Fuego.Rules.Rule component. Look at the fetch and evaluate methods.

Problem with Business Rules in OBPM 10.3.1 Enterprise for WebLogic

We're having a problem with our Business Rules. We've updated two of our business rules (that are used by business rule transitions) in Studio; however, when we publish the updated process, the business rules are not updated. We cannot find anywhere in the Process Admin where to administer the rules to make sure they're overwritten.
I've double checked, and the updated rule code is in the .project.xpdl, but for whatever reason, the rules are not being updated during the deployment. I'm sure that we've done this many times in the past, but for some reason, now it is not working.
We're tried variations of the different versioning when we publish, and we've also tried to unpublish all of the older versions of our process, but it does not change the business rules. We can try to unpublish and undeploy, but it seems like we would lose all old instances of that process that are still running if we did that.
Has anyone ever had this issue, or know if there is a way to effect the business rules via the process admin?

I see what you're saying, but here's why it works the way you're observing it.
Once deployed, the 10g business rules are edited by a business user (the owner of the rule). Changes in Studio that a developer makes to a business rule don't override the changes that the business user made.
To let the business owner edit the rule, add a Global Interactive activity and change its property setting to edit the business rule. Put this activity in the role for the business owner (the person you want to edit the rule).

Validate ADF UI field as per Oracle Business Rules

Hi ,
I have a requirement where the relationship between the various data fields are defined in Oracle Business Rule 11g inside BPM Project.I need to call these rules on ADF screens for data population.
Eg, If there are two fields on ADF UI,field1 and fiedl2.
Possible combinations of the two field are:
Field1 Field2
A B
C D
E null
The rules are part of OBPM 11g project as customer can change the rules through composer at run time as per business need.
How can i achieve this requirement.Please help urgent.
Regards...

Hi Daniel
Lets say i have two attribute 'Product Code' and 'Department id'.The relationship between the two attributes is defined in Oracle Business Rule.
eg.
If Product Code is '111' then Department is 'Finance'
If Product Code is '222' then Department is 'Inventory'
The values for each of the attribute is defined in a database
Product Code Table
Value Description
111 SalaryAllowance
222 Current Stock
Department Table
Value Description
Finance Handles Payroll
Inventory Handles Packaging
I am displaying these two attribute on the ADF UI as dropdowns. If I select '111' from the product code dropdown then the value in Department dropdown should automatically be set as 'Finance'.I need to trigger the validation/relationship between the attributes from business rules.
The reason for keeping the relationship in rules is because business wants to change these relationships at run time.
Hope the scenario is clear to you.
Regards...

Error while creating a Business rule dictionary in Jdevloper 11g

Hi,
I am getting the following error when i define the Inputs and outputs during creating on a new business rule dictionary.
Some XML schemas are not in the "xsd" directory! gardes.xsd
Please manually move or copy the Schemas
I am following the "Creating a Rule-enabled Non-SOA Java EE Application" guide in Oracle® Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Oracle Business Rules, 11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
The two schema files generated were having different content after creation of XML schema file so I copied the file to make them same. Its still giving me the same error.
Please Help.

Error while selecting planning app in Business Rules

Hi ,
I am not being able to select the planning outline while developing business rules (but I can select the Essbase Outline). Whenever I expand the Planning node, an error pops up the details of which says "Error connecting to Essbase server machinename/testapp." There is a details button which says: "Could not log into Planning "Detail:Could not log in to Planning Server".
Can anyone help me out. I am not being able to view the rules in the planning UI .
I have tried for recycle the EAS even though i am getting same error.
could you please let me know the solution for this
Thanks
mahesh

Hi,
Always follow this process, stop the planning service and eas service.
Start RMI service
Start EAS
Start Planning
Log into the web planning application
Then go into EAS and create a new rule, select an outline to the application you have just logged into via web.
Also if you are using the default admin user to log into EAS try another user that has been provisioned with business rules roles
If you still have problems then go to My Oracle Support (formely metalink3) then have a look at doc id - 763345.1
Ok?
Cheers

Get cell value in Planning Data form and using it in a business rule

Hi Everybody,
if i set the data type of an Account Member as text, is there a way to get the value inserted by the user in a dataform, turning it as dimensional member and using it in a business rule?
So, if the user insert the value "USA" in a cell, can i use any functions to tell essbase that "USA" is a dimensional member and then using it in a business rule, for example in a cross-dimension like Period1->FY12->USA?
I tried to use the function @Member and it doesn't work, but i'm wondering if there is a way that can let me get the value inserted and use it just like a dimensional member. What are the ways that can let user input value that can be used in a business rule? I think one is by using SmartList, is there any other ways? Maybe using variables?? As an alternative i tried to use Prompt Variable but there are too many members on which the rule must run.
Please help me, i wanna know if i can or not let the user input the member on which the rule must run...
Thank all guys
Bye
Maurizio

Thanks EW for your answer,
YesI could use SmartList even if i think it's very tough to handle. My experience on using SmartList in caclc script is not so good. I try to enter in details of my requirement:
I have 500 account members.
For each one, I have to calculate the monthly budget by sharing the amount among the months. The user wants to calculate it on the basis of the actual flow(over the months) of an unspecified account of the prior year. The unspecified account must be inserted in a data form.
So, i could use a Smart List but it colud be of 500 elements and then i should make a rule with as many IF as how many are the accounts. Or im wrong? The only way to use smart list dynamically in a business rule is by referring its values in a IF condition. Or i'm wrong.
I tried to use execution variable ma it seems don't work. In this case the user must pay attention to write the account correctly, otherwise as you say the rule doesn't work.
The value in PD0A020 is "PD0A000" (that is a dimensional member). The value in PD0A000 is "hello". In PD0A040 the rule returns "PD0A000" and not "hello" as i would. The function @Member appears to be not able to catch the dimensional member by the value in PD0A000.
{Example}="test"->"Input"->"Scenario_test"->"FY12"->"PD0A020";
Fix("test1","Input","Scenario_test","FY12")
"PD0A040"=@Member({Example});
endfix
So, my doubt is: is it possible for Essbase/Planning to use the value inserted in a data form and to turn it in a dimensional member? What are the practicable ways to let the user input/choose the member on which makes the rule run?
Thank you Ew, thank you guys

OK I bit the bullet and contacted support on this one.
There is a known issue with MDS 2012 and business rules with a combination of "must be unique" attributes. If you do not list the attributes in the same order that they were created you will get the generic error I cited. At first they told me it must be
in the same order the attributes are in and that worked on one entity but not the other. The difference was that in the second entity I previously rearranged the attributes in question. Once I changed the order in the business rule to reflect the *original*
order it worked like a champ.
Hopefully this helps save someone some time and money.

Business rule takes time to open

Hi,
Business rule takes much time when trying to open it.
I'm new to essbase. Can any one tell in which log i can get the information like why it takes much time like that.
Thanks
Kumar

we are facing this issue for particular user. In the same system, we tried with two different users. for 1st user that BR is opened in a minute, but the same BR took around 20mins to open for 2nd user
OS - Window XP
EAS version - 9.3.1
Example
A is 1st user --> XX business rule took 1min to open
B is 2nd user --> XX business rule took 20mins to open
Here both the users are having same access on the BR and the applications
Thanks
Kumar

User Variable Options: How can I use them in a Business Rule?

How can I use a "User Variable" set in File / Preferences in a Business Rule? It doesn't seem to appear as an Essbase Substitution Variable or as a Global Variable of Business Rules. The only way I know how to use it is to place the dimension on the POV or Page dimension of a data form, then use a Global Variable in a run time prompt to pick the member and run a BR against it, or some function of it.
What do I do if I want to have that dimension in Columns or Rows? How can I set a BR to directly reference the member chosen under User Variable Options?
J

Thanks Alp, but I can't seem to reproduce what you are writing below. I want to refer my Business Rule to address the value set in File / Preferences / User Variable Options; no matter what members I show elsewhere in the data form.
My other workaround is through a run time prompt and hope the user selects the appropriate user variable at the very bottom of the selection list in order to calculate the appropriate list of members.

How to get rid of Business Rule in JhsModel: JHS-00128 Allowable Values req

JHeadstart 10.1.3.2
We are using FlexItems in our application.
The JhsModel implementation, shipped in Jar file jhsadfrt-10.1.3.jar, contains the underlying ADF BC objects for the FlexItem functionality.
When we try to create (or remove) a FlexItemDefinition of type Dropdown List, we are stopped by the error: JHS-00128: Allowable Values are required for this Item Display Type.
We do not want that - we have a UID that does not allow editing of master and details on the same page. Therefore, we will never be able to successfully create a dropdown list item since we cannot in the same transaction create the allowable values as well.
How could we disable this business rule - or remove it altogether? I suppose it is implemented somewhere in the jar file that contains the JhsModel project. What is the recommended way of disabling this constraint?
thanks for your help
Lucas

Hi Lucas,
This error is raised if the number of allowable values is zero and the allowable values query of the flexitemdefinitions entity is 'empty'. You could write a (temporary) dummy allowable values query in the flexitemdefinitions entity in order to save the master, and then once you've input the allowable values in the details page, remove or reset the value in the allowable values query attribute of the flexitemdefinitions entity.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Ibrahim

Business rule assignment in Process Control 10.0, does not show any Control

Hi All,
I have created Organization, and assigned Mitigation control, as shown below. I have also created data Source and Business rule. But Business rule assignment is Blank for Controls. So, could you suggest, how can i see the Controls for the Business rule
Regards
Plaban

You'll need to ensure the timeframes are aligned. What is the valid from date of your organisation and equally so important from your (sub)proces and your control. You are trying to do an assignment as per the first of january 2015. You'll not find entities that are created after Jan 1 2015.
Furthermore you can only select controls that are either earmarked to be tested automated or semi-automated.
Finally you're refering to mitigating controls. So that would imply you have integrated the AC mitigating controls with PC or vice versa. What is the creation date of the mitigating control and per which date has it been assigned to the local subprocess?
In order to provide a precise answer we'd need more details on the exact process you've follow. There are simply more than on possible root causes depending on what you've done.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Jan

Members on rows, can they be passed to run-time prompt in a business rule?

Hi!
I have a input form which has a business rule with properties "Run on Save" and "Use members on Form".
The business rule has run-time prompts (local variables) as follows (showing only the fix part of br...)
FIX ([V_Year],[V_Version],[V_Scenario],@LEVMBRS ("Offering", 0),[V_Entity],
[V_ICP], [V_Account])
calculation...
endfix
Now my accounts are on rows and I would like pass those account members to the [V_Account] variable through run time prompt. The [V_Account] ís a local variable with Type "Members" in Account dimension. I have also selected 0-level accounts as limits. Other dimension members from page/pov seem be passed successfully to run-time-prompts.
The run-time-prompt does not seem to be able to catch those account members on rows? Is it at all possible to pass members on dataform rows to run time prompts?
kind regards,
user637777

Hi!
Thanks John!
I just have live with that and find another way to restrict the calculation regarding those accounts.
kind regards,

BPC 10.0 NW - How do I make Business Rules run one Period at a time

I was wondering if anyone has a way to make business rules run one period at a time before moving on to the next to the next time period (i.e. January 2014 calc prior to moving on to February 2014). In past SQL this could be achieved with a piece of script *CALC_EACH_PERIOD. Is there anything like this that can be applied in the NW platform for Business Rules? I have some logic that I want to run through a package on multiple periods at once. Part of this logic contains a Business Rule that uses a value from the preceding period. the Business rule appears to be calculating all time periods selected in the package at once so it is missing the piece that is supposed to come from the prior month unless the package is run one period at a time. I need the logic to run sequentially by time period (oldest first) when more than one time period is selected.
thanks,
Keith

Hi Vadim,
Script for the business rule is below, it runs along with the FX_Trans rule in the same package ( I have also attached a screen shot of the actual Business rule its self)
*RUN_PROGRAM CALC_ACCOUNT CATEGORY = %CATEGORY_SET% ENTITY = %ENTITY_SET% CURRENCY = USD //GROUPS = %GROUPS_SET% TID_RA = %TIME_SET% //OTHER = [AUDITTRAIL=%AUDITTRAIL_SET%] CALC = CALC_HIST_USD *ENDRUN_PROGRAM
Thanks, Keith Carlson

Slow Performance with Business Rules

Hello,
Has anyone ever had slow performance with business rules? For example, I attached a calc script to a form and it ran for 20 seconds. I made an exact replica of the calc script in a business rules and it took 30 seconds to run. Also, when creating / modifying business rules in EAS it takes a long time to open or save or attach security - any ideas on things to improve this performance?
Thanks!

If you are having issues with performance of assigning access then I am sure there was patch available, it was either a HSS patch or planning patch.
