Business Rules issue

Hi All,
Please help me to resolve below issue.
When my client logged in to EAS console ,she can execute Business rules successfully but after 30 mins again when she try to execute same Business rule she gets error message as
*"You must be connected to database to execute a rule"*
Please let me know what would be the issue and how to resolve this??
Thanks in advance..
Regards
Vishal

Hi Vishal,
This error comes when Planning web and AAS Server and Client Machine are not of same patch.
To check it:
go to Help->About at the following locations:
Planning Web
Analytic Administration Services Server
Analytic Administration Services Client Machine(s)
If you have Planning 9.3.a.b.c then HBR version must be 9.3.a.b.c and also on AAS server and AAS client machines.
Cheers...!!!

Oracle EPM 11.1.1: Business Rules issue

Hi All,
I have installed Oracle EPM 11.1.1 and I have created a planning application. However when I logon to Analytical Administration console and try to create a business rule I am facing the following issue:
1. When I try to select Planning Application out I get the following errors:
Error connecting to Essbase server <Server name>/<Application Name>.
Detail:Could not log in to Planning Server
2. As a work around I have set the Essbase outline and the rule is getting validated from AAS. This rule has been attached to a form and should be executed when I do a submit. However the rule is not running from the form. I tried running the rule from Planning web and again I am getting an error.
I checked the access rights for the Business Rule from shared services and the admin user (which I am using) has Provision and Administrator rights. Is it a configuration issue or is there something that I am missing here.
Thanks in advance,
Amol

Try to add a description to the Business Rule. There is a bug associated with it and you can find out in the Planning Readme. We had the same issue and got resolved by adding a description to the BR. Hope this will work for you.But the problem is he can't even create a business rule so how can he add a description to something he can't create?

Business Rule Issue in Planning

Hi All,
I am working on a business rule and I ve tried doing it many ways but still unable to achieve the desired results. Please find the BR below:-
FIX(@CHILDREN("Vendor Expenses")
,{Scenario},@Relative("Year",0),"No VendorCategory")
{UPKVendor}
IF (@ISUDA({UPKVendor},Master))
{UPKMasterVendor}= @MEMBER(@CONCATENATE("V",@NAME({UPKVendor})));
{ToVersion}->@IDescendants({UPKMasterVendor}) = {FromVersion}->@IDescendants({UPKMasterVendor})
ELSE
{ToVersion}->{UPKVendor}={FromVersion}->{UPKVendor};
ENDIF
ENDFIX
Assumptions :-
{UPKVendor} is a runtime prompt of type "Member" who's value is initiated from the web form (Vendor Dimension which is tagged with UDA's to identify the type of project)
{UPKMasterVendor} is a runtime prompt of type "Member" who's value is constructed by concatenating "V" to the {UPKVendor}
{ToVersion} & {FromVersion} are runtime prompt's as well and the user can select the values for these prompts as part of the business rule.
Desired Results:-
IF A VENDOR IS A "MASTER" Vendor, WHICH IS IDENTIFIED USING THE UDA
THEN COPY THE UPKMASTERVENDOR AND IT's DESCENDANTS FROM THE ONE VERSION (FROMVersion) to ANOTHER VERSION (TOVersion)
For some reason, the calc manager is not formulating @IDescandants({UPKMasterVendor})
{ToVersion}->@IDescendants({UPKMasterVendor}) = {FromVersion}->@IDescendants({UPKMasterVendor})
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Cz

Hi,
The issue here is that you are trying to assign a member string in a variable on runtime which is not quite possible in Calc Script language. As discussed here number of times and once more quite recently, Calc Script does not support object type (including string) assignment. You can only assign numeric values to members and variables alike. You should try something like @Match function or If condition to achieve what you are doing. Another issue in your script is that you use @Descendants in an equation. You should use @Descendants to restrict the boundaries of your calculation (IF(@ISMBR..., FIX etc) but not in equations.
Just to give an idea, have a look at below sample:
IF (@ISUDA({UPKVendor},Master))
IF(@ISMBR(@Descendants((@MEMBER(@CONCATENATE("V",@NAME({UPKVendor})))))
{ToVersion}= {FromVersion};
ENDIF
ENDIF
Cheers,

Business Rule issue: Not connecting to Planning outline

Hi,
We have recently installed EPM 11.1.2. We created a planning application and we now want to create BRs for this application. However when I tried connecting to the outline it is not able to see the plantypes. I have followed the following steps to troubleshoot:
1. Opened Planning application through web and then open EAS to create the BR. This doesn't resolve the issue.
2. Restarted Planning, EAS and RMI services. This also doesn't work.
Am I missing something here?
Regards,
Amol

Hi Seb,
Thanks for replying. I was creating the rules using Admin and it has necessary access rights. Following are the entries that I found in the HBR logs that seem to point to the cause.
Exception occured: 25:1065:Invalid value admingroup for identity.
2009-07-10 07:34:39,428 WARN http-10080-Processor1 com.hyperion.hbr.security.HbrSecurityAPI - Error retrieving group by identity

I have also tried to reconfigure EAS but that also doesn't help

Business Rule access issue

Hi,
I have newly set up few business rules in 9.3.1. I have two issues here.
1. No users listed :In Access Privileges tab,when I click on 'Add' to assign access to a user on this BR, there is only one user i.e admin(Internal) and no other users listed. But in Groups, there are groups listed and I have assigned access to those groups on this BR.
2. Users can not view BRs in planning web : Although I have assigned access to available groups, the users in those groups can not see this business rule in planning web.
Note : Even though I login to planning web as admin, I can not see BRs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Business Rules won't run

in Essbase 9.3 on Enterprise View, Business Rules, Repository view, Projects NONE of my scripts will launch. i can sort of open and but they won't execute. i can copy but i can't run them. i'm dying here because i have got to copy a version to version
so, question 1 is how to get the business rules to work?
and question 2 is what's the code (i know it's really really simple) to copy one version to another
help!

Restarting services is always a good thing to try, Also I recommend logging into My Oracle Support and having a read of doc id - 763345.1
It goes through different options for resolving business rules issues.
One example to copy version is :-
DATACOPY Working TO Final;
You may want to put a FIX around it to restrict what you want to copy.
More information on DATACOPY is available at :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/calc/datacopy.htm

Business Rule Login Failed

I am trying to run a Business Rule in EAS. However, when I log in to Essbase and when I clcik the plus in front of the Business Rule, it give a message "Business Rule Login Failed"
Also, when I go to HSS, I do see the item called HP.. under the Business Rule tab. So what could be reason?

It might be worth going through the following article in Oracle Support - "Troubleshooting Hyperion Business Rules Issues [ID 763345.1]"

Group Security Issue with Business Rules

Hopefully you experts out there can follow this. We have about 200 users in our Planning application split into 3 categories (Admins, Interactive Users and Planners) via groups setup in Shared services. We also have an email group list setup in Outlook that has all 200 users in it that we use to send out emails to all users regarding the application. So in Shared Services we have the email group list as an assigned group in the Planners group. So as new people are added to the group list in email they are automatically included as a user in the Planning application. People that are Admins or Interactive Users are manually added to those groups in Shared Services. Everything seemed to be working fine until we tried blocking the Planners groups from running certain business rules in the application. We have clusters setup in Essbase to control access to the business rules. I went into the cluster and set the Planners group to cannot validate or launch on certain rules but found that I now could not run the business rules either even though I am an Admin and the Admin group has vaildate and launch privledges in the cluster. I believe the issue has to do with the fact that I am by default in the Planners group because I am in the email group list which is assigned to the Planners group in Shared Services. Other than setting up and managing 3 seperate email group lists and assigning them individually in Shared Services, does anyone know how I can manage business rules security using the 3 groups i have setup? I hope this makes sense. If not I can provide more detail. Thanks.

Have you tried using Business Rules projects? Create a project for the admin Shared Services group and assign all rules to that group. Create a Planning project for planners and assign only rules that you want them to run. Any rule that planners should not have access to would be removed from the Planner business rules project, but still in the admin project for you to run.

Business Rule form coding issue

I have two cubes, one for salaries and one for the P&L, called finance. All members are identical between cubes, EXCEPT the department members, in the finance cube there are numbers,
such as "662", in the Salary cube, all department members begin with "Sal_" which is "Sal_662"
I want a salary form on save to execute calculations and then get pulled to the finance cube.
I have a script that works from a finance cube form, but I want the salary cube form to execute the finance cube business rule. The issue is the different names.
To do a transfer from the finance cube form, the code looks like :
"DIRXOT" = @XREF("_Salarycube_" ,"DIRSAL","Total_Employee",(@CONCATENATE("SAL_",@NAME(@CURRMBR("Finance Department")))))
The finance BR XREF adds the "SAL_ to the current member to reference the Salary cube department.
Trying to reverse this, code it from the salary form point of view
IF(@CONCATENATE("SAL_",@NAME(@CURRMBR("Finance Department"))) == [gv_Salary_SalDepartment])
"DIRXOT" = @XREF("_Salarycube_" ,"PRDSAL","Total_Employee", [gv_Salary_SalDepartment]);
But no validation. . . any suggestions as to what I am missing?
thanks

Thanks, i didn't pose the question quite correctly. . . The IF statement won't validate:
IF(@CONCATENATE("SAL_",@NAME(@CURRMBR("Finance Department"))) == @NAME([gv_Salary_SalDepartment]))
or
IF(@CONCATENATE("SAL_",@NAME(@CURRMBR("Finance Department"))) == [gv_Salary_SalDepartment])
I have to do a NAME comparison, and I don't know how to do that, with the mathematical operators. . .
because there is no matching member between cubes for a numerical match. . .
So I need to return TRUE when finance cube Member "662" equals salary cube Member "Sal_662" by adding "Sal_" to the finance member and then doing the comparison.
I think it can be done, but not sure how. . . [gv_Salary_SalDepartment] is the global variable from the salary cube form passing the salary cube member to the business rule.
thanks in advance. . . . .

Security issue in Business Rule

Hi All,
I've one user who is provisioned for business rules in shared services. I can see the user in Essbase user list. But when I try to assign the user to a business rule, I don't see that user in the "Add user" pop up box. There are total 121 essbase users and 120 users can be assigned to the business rule except that one. This is quite surprising and I tried lot of options but no result yet.
I'm using system 9.2. And I tried below options:
Deprovision the user and provision him again in shared service.
Ran the security refresh in planning desktop
restart essbase services
Please let me know if you have any idea to correct this issue, Thanks in advance!!

Log into "My Oracle Support" and have a search for doc id 763345.1, read section "Users and rights"
Hopefully it will be useful to you.

Business Rules Import Issue

Hi, I met some problems in business rules import.
1. The buisness rules import cannot be overwritten, everytime when I deployed a rule to a new environment, I need to delete the old one first. Can I do some setting to enable overwriting?
2. When the rule contains a character ">", the export xml will add a special character like "space" after it. Sometimes caused the rules failed after the deployment. Seems it is a bug.
3. When the rule has the property "hide" for some run-time prompts, sometimes it will lose after the import, is it also a bug or any workaround?
If any good suggestion or experience for the above problems? Thanks

Hi,
It would be helpful to others if you say which version/patch you are using.
To answer number 1, that has always been a feature of business, you don't get the option to overwrite, its always been a pain.
I have not come across issue 2 and I am sure I have imported many rules with the cross dimensional operator in them ->
Cheers

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
Edited by: user638718 on Apr 7, 2009 5:20 PM

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
Cheers

Business Rule Running issue??

I am having all the BR's in my webform Run on Save
When the rule runs on save, the rule is taking a lot of time to complete and may it is cretaing loops, may be since there are more than one rule.
And if I run that rule by double clicking the rule on the same webform it gets completed in 30-40 seconds.
I don't know what could be the issue
I don't think there is a problem in my rule because that rule runs quickly by double clicking it.
Please help!!
Recenltl I also got error opening Planning
The eror says:
Failure to connect to the Apache Bridge
No Backend server available for connention.
Thanks

You could look into setting business rules to run in the background after a set time period, this may help issues with timeouts on the web server.
Have a look at :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/hp_admin/ch02s07s05.html
