Business Rules (Planning 9.3.1) Failure when run time prompts....

Has anyone experienced an issue where the Business rules failed because user entering in a fully numeric member name without the double quotes. We seem to be experiencing this in 9.3.1 planning. What is funny, is that I figured I would have caught onto this issues in previous versions. So I am wondering if it is just specific to 9.3.1. We have member names that are numeric (Empl ID, Entity, etc) so we'll use a business rule to do an employee transfer. Well users would enter this in without quotes and effectively crash business rules in all forms. When we test with the quotes, all is well. I am also wondering if the 9.3.1.1.7 patch release fixes this issue. Thanks for any insight to this.

Hi,
I always thought that you had to surround numeric values with quotes, it would be nice if it could distinguish that you were entering a member name so treat everything as text.
I just had a look at a version of planning running 9.3.1.1.7 patch and it seems to be the same that you need to enclose in quotes otherwise you will get this :-

Sequence will not validate with run time prompts in business rules

I am in Hyperion Planning v 1.1.1.3, with Workforce initialized. I am creating a sequence of business rules. The rules use run time prompts within them and validate when used on their own. However, when I insert them in a sequence the sequence will not validate, apparently due to the run time prompts.
The sequence returns the error: Cannot calculate. Essbase Error(1200323): Error parsing formula for [FIX STATEMENT] (line 7): expression expected after [(].
Line 7 in the business rule is as follows:
FIX ([rtpYear],[rtpScenario],[rtpVer],[rtpCC],[rtpBU],[rtpEmp])
The problem is not isolated to this business rule, it occurs with any rule I try.
Can sequences function with run time prompts in the included business rules?

I have figured out that if any rtp is hidden in the business rule, the sequence will not validate. Is this expected behavior for sequences?
Additionally, hiding the variables in the sequence has no effect if the variables are not hidden in the rule. When launched from a menu in a web form, the user is prompted for values for all variables (except for the Execution Database Name) although they are prepopulated based on the members in the POV, Page, etc. Is this also expected behavior?
I also find that it won't validate if "Merge launch variables" is selected (I have included rules associated with different plan types and with different dimensionality, so this may be expected). The user is prompted to provide values for every variable in each rule in the sequence, many of them duplicates (though, again, they are prepopulated based on members in the form).
Stephen

Business Rule err The following value is not valid for the run time prompt.

Hyperion Planning v 9.3.3
I have created a new BR with 2 local variables (created at the time of the BR), Variables are set as run time prompts. They are created as "Member" (not Members). The BR basically does a calc dim on dense and Agg on Sparce other than the prompt on Entity and Version dimensions. The entity variable has a limit on level 0 of the dimension. The Version variable limits to the input (Submit and Sandboxes)
The BR is associated in Planning with an input web form. Entity and Version are in the page. Is set to Run on Save and Use members on form.
If the run time prompts Hide boxes are checked, an empty Prompt pops up with only a Submit button. Click the button and an error comes up: "The following value is not valid for the run time prompt it was entered for:. But it does not indicate what member - just ends in the :.
The BR will run sucessfully only if the Run-time prompt is not hidden - "Hide" in the BR is unchecked. So the syntax and logic of the BR is correct and security should not be an issue.
The client wants no prompt. In production we have similar situations in which the BR works with the Web Forms without a prompt.
What am I doing wrong - I have tried restarting the Planning service and the EAS service.

My preferred method of doing this is:
1. In business rule, do not hide the run-time prompts. This makes it easy to validate the business rule as you are building it. I only use Global Variables.
2. On the form, have business rule set to run on save, use members on data form and hide prompt.
Check that in the business rule, for the variables (Run-Time prompts), that they are all in use. If not, delete them from the business rule. Are all your variables global? Are some local and some global? This could be the issue.

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,

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

Run time prompts not appearing when launching BR from a right click menu

Hi!
I have a problem when trying to launch a business rule from a right click menu which is assigned to a dataform.
The rule launches but does not show/ask for the run time prompts as it should do. The run-time prompts should not be hidden (I checked also Eas and data form selections).
When using the rule form the Tools-Business Rules menu, the rule works fine. It prompts for the required variables and as they are filled in, the rule does what it is expected to.
Also, when using the same rule attached into a form (and selected "use members on form"&"run on save") the rule works correctly.
We are using version 11.1.2.1.
I already have tried restarting Planning services but without success.
What might cause this?
kind regards,
user637777

Hi!
I found out from the Oracle knowledge base:
This issue is caused by unpublished Bug 11064867 - RIGHT CLICK MENUS NOT RENDERING RUN TIME PROMPTS
In version 931 run time prompts worked correctly when launching them from a right click menu, I checked this out.
In our current version I got this working (this is kind of a workaround) by adding a new RTP variable (using the same dimension as the original RTP variable). This way I got the rule to "ask for more information" (like what were you asking for? ) and not running the rule without interruptions. This instruction was given in Oracle support (knowledge base).
kind regards,

Can't get Run Time Prompts to pop up in Planning 11.1.2.1 on WebForm

Hi,
Client is using Business Rules and not Calc Manager. I have a Webform that has a Business Rule attached with only Run on Save selected. In the BR there are various RTP's user needs to choose. When I navigate to the WebForm in the bottom left hand corner I don't see any available BR's. That is first clue it won't work? When I hit save, nothing pops up to select and only the message 'The data has been saved successfully' appears. Nothing about the rule has run successfully etc. I have provisioned the group I'm in with 'Validate or Launch' Access to the BR in question.
Within EAS when I goto launch or validate the rule, the Run Time Prompt box pops up and allows me to make my selections but not when I hit Save on the form.
Any ideas? Could it be a provisioning issue? My username is an admin.
Stumped as I haven't done this in a while without Calc Mgr thus am I missing something obvious?

OK. Possibly onto something here. On the left hand side of the Business Rule tab there are all the calc scripts. Then only Bus Rule that appears there is a new one I created that was an exact copy of the Business Rule in question, just with a '- New' appended to the end of the name. Funny thing is both Business rules that are attached to the form do appear on the right hand side. Thus how could that be? How does one get the Bus Rules to appear on the left hand side? Haven't been in EAS Business Rules mode for a long time.

Using run-time prompts in BRs for Planning 11.1.1

Hi to all!
I want to create a run-time prompt for periods for which the calculation is to be done in my business rule. So via Tools>Variables I created a global variable of MemberRange type, then I inserted this variable in the Fix statement of my business rule in Calculation Manager but the validation of the rule fails stating that the BR has a run-time prompt which is not allowed. I have not found anything in the documentation on how to allow runtime prompts in a BR, so I would be very grateful for hints on how to correct it.

Hi,
For global variables:
Run EAS console
Right click on your Essbase server (e.g. localhost)
Edit - Variables
Set names and values of global variables for all apps and all dbs (if you need so)
These names of global variables you can use in your BRs and CalcMngr scripts.
For local BR variables:
Run EAS
Create new BR
Go to "Variables" tab
Add local variables as "Member" type / "Run-time prompt" usage type
These names of global variables you can use in your BRs scripts.
For global BR variables:
Run EAS
Open BR - Global variables
Create new global variable as "Member" type / "Run-time prompt" usage type
These names of global variables you can use in your BRs scripts.

No entry in table T001P for key when running time evaluation

Hi There,
All the master data is in synch and I am getting this error when
running time evaluation.
*No entry in table T001P for key
Person rejected: xxxxxxxx*
Apparantly this seems to be config error but we have lot of EEs like this, working okay. All the master data dates are correct.
Any comment/help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gajanan

Hi,
In one of the thread i have read that, after maintaining Contract Type the issue has been resolved.
and in other thread he says
"the issue is caused by a mismatch in the employee's master data dates. Particularly with infotype 8, the first record of his basic pay had a date prior to his hire date"
Can you please check it once.
Good Luck..!

Has NI plans to develop CVI for WinCE run time engine?

Has NI plans to develop CVI for WinCE run time engine?

At this point, LabWindows/CVI does not have plans to support Windows CE. There are many reasons we do not have plans for support, but two main reasons are:
Windows CE uses a different kernel from other Windows operatings systems.
Windows CE does not support the full WinAPI.

Business Rule Run Time Prompts not saving last values entered

Hello all,
We've had an SR open with Oracle support for several months in regards to this issue and they have yet to give us any constructive feedback. I'm hoping that someone out there has run into this and maybe found a resolution to the issue. We're running EPM Planning/Calc Mgr 11.1.1.3.04.
Our Planning end users are trying to "use last entered value" to get the prompts to default to users last used values, in Calc Mgr for a variable which has limits idesc(dim) and is limited to the planning application scope. The variable has no default value set.
However when they run the rule with a given value in the prompt, when they relaunch the rule later the prompt is not defaulting back to the last used value. We tried to redeploy the rule, just to see if it makes any difference but that seems to have no effect.
Thanks in advance,
-Bob

Spoke to my EPM Analyst who is working this issue with support and has more functional knowledge of what is going on.
She checked the members/member selection and this did not change the results.
While working with Oracle support they did try to select "Use Members in Form" and this also did not change the results.
No matter what they select with the business rules, it is not retaining that value the next time that it is run. The BR's require that you select a value when running so there is no way to use nothing as the default. My apologies if my description was misleading.
Our analyst has been logging on and off using just her credentials and sees this behavior.
The Global Variables checkbox for save last value is selected.

Please give your valuable advice on this.
Thanks in advance.

Did you select Run "Rules from Form XX" in composite Form Business Rule section and select Run on save option ? Can you please provide screenshot of your BR section in Composite form and simple form ??

Run Time Prompts on a Planning form - EMPA mode

Hello,
I have a Planning form in EPMA mode setup to capture latest selected members via drop down boxes in the POV section and have the business rule execute base on the latest selected members in the POV section.
This is what I have done so far ..
1) I defined the PROPERTY for each variable as "member".
2) I selected the dimension name under the DIMENSION box.
3) I defined the limit for members selection under the LIMIT box.
4) I defined the default member under DEFAULT VALUE box.
5) I enabled option "Use Last Entered Value".
6) I enabled option RTP and entered the RTP text.
With the above setup, I thought when I clicked the save button the business rule would run based on the latest selected members via drop down boxes in the POV section. However, the rule kept using the default members that I had defined in the DEFAULT VALUE box.
Am I missing something else here? Or is this another software bug?
Thank you so much for your help.

Just to drill down ur question...
have to tried to run business rule from Tools->Business Rule ?
Is it still taking the defualt values?

Run time Prompt in Business Variables?

hello,
Can I give a prompt value as @children(Buget) when I launch a business rule & its asking for prompt? (here BUDGET has children like bud1,bud2...budn) , then will it execute the rule for all the children of Budget??
Thanks

Hi,
Few options you can try:
1. Select the type of variable as members while creating your global variable and
at the time of selecting the members for RTP, pass on multiple members for which you want to run the rule.
2. Use the function @children in your BR and pass only Budget as the RTP,
so the rule will take care further..to run it for the children for Budget..
Hope it helps..
Thanks,
Sourabh
