Business Rules in Planning 11.1.2.1 - Cannot connect to Planning

Hi,
I started experiencing some problems today in forms with Business Rules. I don't really know how it happened, but I noticed after a Refresh and after stopping CalcManager service (business rules run on this service?). Either way I restarted the EPM System and the error persists.
When I ented in any form with business rules i get the error: An error occured, in a white background.
In logs i have the following:

Any advice on what might be going on?
Thank you

I'm still having this problem. I checked that RMI is running but whenever I try to enter in Planning the logs write that it can't connect to the eas database, and HBRPluginData relational table isn't being filled.

Hi,
It means it cannot connect to planning, it needs to be able to access planning via the RMI registry on port 11333.

Cannot connect to Planning from SmartView

Hi to all! :)
I tried it both in Excel 2007 and 2003 and I am using Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3. When in Excel, I went to Hyperion>Options and put http://servername:8300/HyperionPlanning/SmartView as Hyperion Provider Service URL. Next, when I go to Data Source Manager, no Hyperion Planning applications appear in the tree, even the tree does not appear with its folders. And when I click Connect to Provider Services in Data Source Manager, SmartView throws a message box: Unable to load the following resource: Please enter user credential to login. After closing that box and clicking Connect to Provider Services for the second time, then already nothing happens and even the error box does not appear.
However, if I put http://servername:13080/aps/SmartView as Hyperion Provider Service URL, then Data Source Manager shows Essbase cubes. So I would be immensely grateful for any hint on where I should look into to solve this problem :)

use the aps/SmartView link, that is the proper link through Provider services. The other link is used in the independent connection, not the common connection.
make sure that the 'predefined' button is selected to 'all' not 'favorites'
to add a planning server right click on the Hyperion Planning folder and click 'add'

Business Rules Not Visible in Planning.............

Hi All,
I have created business rules in Essbase & works well.But Those are not showed in planning App.Here , While i'm
creating Business Rules ,able to access for essbase only , when click on planning to shows unable login planning.
Plzzzzzzzz help out.......
Thanks

I am having the same problem with accessing business rules in version 9.3.1. I have been working with Oracle support for 5 months now trying to resolve this and they have not been able to help.
This application has been up and running for over a year before this behavior occurred. Previously users were able to view and run business rules. It is only affecting non-native authenticated users. The admin user and natively authenticated users can run/edit & vaidate rules. In order to run business rules all users have to log in with the admin user ID (not a good solution).
Any ideas, clues or new method of debugging this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks
John

Business Rules not visible in Hyperion Planning

I created a group in Shared Services and added 6 (native) accounts.
After that, I assigned Access Privileges to Business Rules in AAS for this group.
When I open Planning Web and go to Tools - Business Rules, 5 of the 6 users can see the Business Rules,
but one users only sees the CalcScripts.
I think I tried everything; removed/added the account from the group, refreshing security, refresh in Planning-Desktop
I'm using version 9.2.03
Anyone knows whats going on here?

Thats the strange thing; We use (native) groups to provision. This works fine for the other 5 users.
But even if I provision this one user for the Business Rules, they remain invisible to this user. (in Planning)
I discovered this morning that this user can create a new BR, but when I try to open it in AAS console I get an error
"Exception occured, Please check your log file for details."
Unfortunately, the log doesn't provide any more details. (even if I set the level to Debug)

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,
Amol

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

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.

Network Error []: Cannot Get Host Name when running business rules

Guru's
We are getting the following error intermittently when we are running business rules (Planning Application >>Tools>>Business Rules) or running SmartView refreshes:
Network error []: Cannot Get Host Name
The following is then logged in the Essbase Application logs:
Local/Application/Database/admin@Native Directory/Error(1042022)
Network error []: Cannot Get Host Name.
A quick look at the Essbase Error Messages Doc says it is a network error and we have to consult the network documentation. Unfortunately this is not very descriptive so we logged an SR with Oracle but we don't seem to be getting a resolution.
The environment is 11.1.2.0 and the architecture is as follows:
Server 1 - MS Server 2008 x64:
Planning, Calc Manager, Foundation Services, Framework Web Services, EAS, APS, Web Analysis, FR Web Services
Server 2 - MS Server 2008 x64:
Essbase Server
Server 3 - MS Server 2008 x64:
Framework Services, FR Print Services
We have tried doing the following:
1. Put in the server host names into the hosts file on the Hyperion Servers
2. Applied the following TCP/IP settings on all the Hyperion Servers and one of the user machines as a test:
      - Added a new DWORD Value named TcpTimedWaitDelay and set it to 30.
     - Added a new DWORD Value named MaxUserPort and set it to 65534.
     - Added a new DWORD Value named MaxFreeTcbs and set it to 6250
3. Confirmed that there are no packet drops by monitoring the server NICs so no packet loss could be the cause of this issue
4. The Essbase Config file has the following settings:
NETDELAY 2000
NETRETRYCOUNT 2500
Has anyone come across this issue and if you managed to resolve it, how did you go about it.
Thanx

Hi Rahul
The issue is happening to a number of calcs so it it not one calc specifically. I will ask the functional consultants to enhance the logging in the business rules so that we can see if the issue happens on a specific member\block etc and yes we do use Xrefs
We can run this as a calc in EAS without any issues and it's intermittent because this business rule runs 95% of the time in Planning Application >> Tools >>Business Rules without any issues.
Thanks

Error accessing Business Rules from EAS

Hi,
I am using EPM System 11 and trying to access Business Rules via Essbase Adminstration Services Console (EAS). When I open up the Business Rules node from Enterprise View, and select Repository View > Rules, a list of all the Business Rules is displayed. However, when I try to click on one to open it in the editor, I received an error message from EAS the reads:
Business Rules Error. Error creating DBUserGrpObjLinkTable. Cannot continue.
When I click Get Detail, it just displays Detail: null. This occurs when trying to open any of the Business Rules. In the past I have had no problem creating, editing, and launching business rules from EAS.
I am still able to successfully launch the Business Rules I have already created and assigned to my Planning application FROM the Planning Web Application, but I am not able to edit them or create any new ones in EAS. Does anyone know what has happened to cause this error? It appears as if something happen to the one of the tables in the relational database that was configured during the installation of the EPM system? I can provide more detail if necessary. Thank you.

I have restarted the services and that did not solve the problem. This may be a stupid question, but I'm not exactly sure who I would contact at Oracle about this problem. Can someone tell me where I should look for this?
Also, I have a bit more information from the logs that may be helpful in solving this. Here is an excerpt from the hbrserver.log:
2009-12-09 03:28:10,656 WARN main com.hyperion.hbr.core.AccessControlManagerServer - HBR repository is not configured. HBR will not be available.
2009-12-15 10:25:02,656 FATAL http-10080-Processor4 com.hyperion.hbr.core.AccessControlManagerServer - Error creating DBUserGrpObjLinkTable. Cannot continue.
It appears that the HBR repository is not configured? I am confused because Business Rules were working fine just last week, and I'm not sure what has changed. Also, I can still successfully run Business Rules from Planning. Any ideas on how to fix the repository? Thanks.

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 .

Business Rules error-java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/hyperion/hbr/core/

Hey I recently applied the 11.1.1.3.04 service fix for calc mgr/planning which involved a few file changes for EAS as well.
I patched and re-deployed calc mgr/planning/eas without any issues in DEV
When I patched prod, and then redeployed the web servers, business rules is now failing.
This error is in the planning log:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/hyperion/hbr/core/HBRThinServer
and this error is in EAS log when I login to EAS:
ExecuteThread: '5' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)' com.hyperion.hbr.db.DBTable - Error while creating Repository object. Please make sure your HBR Configuration is correct.
ExecuteThread: '5' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)' com.hyperion.hbr.core.PluginDataManager - Error creating PluginDataManager. Please check your log file for details on what caused this error.
Anyone run into this issue and have any advice how to solve it? I also opened an issue with Oracle
THanks
Jeff

Thanks for the advice Nick.
I decided to redeploy EAS app server again, but this time also re-register the database. the register database step was not needed when I patched dev or test, perhaps because in dev and test planning and eas were on the same server. In prod, eas and planning are on different servers.
so after registering and re-using the existing tables so that I wouldn't lose my rules, the app deployed without any errors in the logs and all my business rule problems have been resolved.
Thanks
Jeff

Business rule for Essbase cube calculations in 11.1.1.3?

Hi,
Can we use business rules to use @XREF from data transfer from one cube to other cube.Why I went for business rule is, I can put set of business rules in a Sequence and any new user can run this Sequence on demand and even we need prompt also in that.
So, I want to clarify whether I can use the business rules for Essbase calculations along with calc scripts??
Appreciate the response.
Thanks

Right,
Actually, Business rules are running essbase cubes in every case.
Remember planning and BRs are adding extra layers like prompts, forms, security, processes...
Think Business rules are extended version of calc scripts with some more functionality. They are ultimately running on essbase cubes...

Ahmet

Problem running business rules through forms that are 15+ mins long.

I just upgraded to 9.3.1 from 9.0.1 and we are having some issues with our business rules. We have business rules that can run up to several hours but the status on the screen ends up timing out with a 'please see planning' log error.
The error in the log states: Status unknown, calculation context no longer available
I can tell every second planning is checking on the business rule but after about 15 mins it does not:[9/5/08 19:47:06:810 CDT] 000000c1 SystemOut O state in essMainCalc.getprocessstate = 1
Even though there is an error I can look at what is running in essbase and see that the business rule is still running. When it finishes it does what it is supposed to do.
I have tried updating HBRServer.properties to a new timeout but it does not work.
I am really lost here, can anyone help?

Hi,
There are a couple of you have, you can switch business rules to start running in the background after a certain time, the status of the rules can then be checked from planning with the business rules status page
To set this up :-
1 Select Administration > Manage Properties.
2 Select Application Properties to set properties and values for a Planning application.
3 Add the property by clicking Add, entering the property in the blank row, and entering a value in Property
Value:
Enter HBR_MAX_WAIT_FOR_RULE and the interval in milliseconds to wait before running
business rules in the background. If this property is not set, the feature does not work, and
business rules do not run in the background.
Optional: Enter HBR_MONITOR_DELAY and the interval in milliseconds for checking
business rule status.
The default and minimum value for both options is 180000 milliseconds (3 minutes). If you
set a lower value, that value is ignored, and the property is set to the default value.
4 Click Save and confirm your changes.
Or you could try installing patch 9.3.1.1.1 or above (it is now at 9.3.1.1.7) from metalink3.
The patch includes :- (8-665086601) 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
I hope this helps

LCM Business Rules Export using Utility.bat

Hi All,
Wondering if anyone has any tips on using Utility.bat to export business rules. I've defined a migration for business rules but it only exports one Business Rule to xml. When executing the same migration definition from Shared Services, the business rules get exported to XML fine.
We're running Planning 11.1.2.1.600.2.
Thanks,
Ryan

Hello Ryan,
Want to Export BR of ESSBASE (or) from Calc manager .
If Calc manager then first select all the Calc manager related artifacts through migration definition, after you get the export XML file ,Create a import migration XML file .
Now try to use Utility.cmd and place the files in Utility.cmd folder only and import all calc rules .
