Business rules storage location / directory ? Essbase server?

Do you know where the Business Rules in EAS are stored ? in what format?

Stored in the EAS relational tables, table hbrrules, best way to export them is through EAS.
if you want to read more about another method to extract them from the table have a look at :- Re: Exporting Hyperion Business Rules as Text files

Change Software Update Service storage location - OS X Server 2.2

What's the best way to change the file storage location used by the Software Update Service in Server 2.2? I don't want to change the default "Service Data" location for the other services.
Generally I like to make as few changes to the standard configuration as possible, but in this case I need to make an exception. I'd really like to to get the catalog of update files on to an External Pegasus RAID.
I've tried using a symlink to the /Library/Server/Software Update/Data folder. That didn't work as the service was unable to update the catalogs.
Should I use a symlink on the whole /Library/Server/Software Update/ folder or is there perhaps a better way?
With any potential solutions, how likely is is that changes I make likely to be overwritten with future updates.
Thanks,
GRW

Question (please use responses in bold in square brackets)
Response
1
Update went smoothly with NO problems [No]
No
2
Update actually solved existing previous problem with server [Not sure yet]
Not sure yet
3
Updated from Server App version 2.2 [Yes]
Yes
4
If answer to Q.3 was 'No' please advise previous server version [Server app version #]
5
OS X version at the time was 10.8.2 [Yes]
Yes
6
If answer to Q.5 was 'No' please advise previous OS X version [-]
To clarify:
1) As it was updating application data, I got an error message at the very end of the update saying that some application data may not be usable/work/wasn't updated (something to that tune) with a yellow triangle and exclamation mark inside it. After the update, I rebooted the server just in case then let everythign start up normally. All services turned on as per usual.
I have gone through most of my services that I run and I'll list off everything that I've tried out and it's state:
Caching Server - Looks OK
Contacts - Functioning so far as expected
Calendar - Functioning so far as expected
Profile Manager - Was able to test a push profile add and delete with success
DNS - Functioning as normal
Software Update - Looking good so far (I had issues with it stopping and restarting randomly with an interval of a month or two between events, hoping that is fixed, though it never affected functionality - it was in the error logs)
File Sharing - Working as expected
Open Directory - No issues thus far
VPN - Looks OK
Websites - Functioning as expected
Hope that helps you guys!

Executing Business Rule / Calculation from Excel - Essbase

Hi All,
Currently I am trying to run the calculations / Business rules from essbase after locking and sending data. I am using the below code to run the business rule / calculation from essbase.
Sub RunBusinessRule()
On Error Resume Next
X = EssVCalculate(Empty, "AggFlash", False)
MsgBox "Business Rule executed successfully"
End Sub
The issue is that my code gives me a message that the business rule is executed successfully but the rule keeping running in the background for some time. Actually i need a code which will check the status of the process of calculation and when it actually gets completed I should get a message that it's been done. Please expedite.

Hi,
I take it you mean calc script and not business rule as really they are separate.
The reason you get a message straight away is because you have the synchronous parameter set to false, if you set it to true it should not return until it is comple
e.g.
X = EssVCalculate(Empty, "AggFlash", True)
Cheers

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.

Admin rights to validate/execute business rules

Hello everyone,
we set access priviliges and administration rights in shared services by assigning users to particular groups. We assigned two users to the administration group 'hypadmins' who now have access to all applications. In Essbase they can access applications, affect changes in the outline, validate the outline etc. However, they cannot validate or execute business rules (Error: Cannot connect to server). The problem does not persist when connecting to the server using a different (existing) admin user. The access priviliges for all rules are set to the admin group 'hypadmins' (and no other). Can anyone help with respect to identifying the source of the problem?
p.s. Can anyone explain what the Essbase Native Security Mode is?
Thanks in advance
Florian

943380, I'm not picking on you, and I am glad you found an answer to your issue. My ire is saved for whoever thought that a blog equals copying knowledgebase articles from Oracle Support and sticking it on his blog. Why oh why oh why do I even bother paying support? And I suppose why oh why oh why do I kill myself writing blog content when I could just "borrow" it word for word from Oracle?

HBR Error connecting to Essbase server

Hi,
Getting an error " HBR Error connecting to Essbase server" while selecting the outline in create new business rule.Tried the below workaround,but still getting the same error.
* Copy the HBRServer.properties from AAS (<HyperionHome\Hyperion\AdminServices) to the Planning Server
(<HyperionHome\Hyperion\HyperionPlanning\AppServer\InstalledApps\...)
* Restart the services.
* Login to Hyperion Planning application. Connect to each application at issue to establish RMI connection.
* Log into AAS, Refresh security from Shared Services
Any solution/ workaround could be of very helpful.

Hi,
Are you trying to create a business rule for planning or essbase, the error message you have posted is for trying to connect to essbase and you usually get that message if essbase is not started or unreachable.

BPM error when opening a business rule task

I am using a created installation of BPM 12c from the ( summer camp ).
I am in the BPM composer and I now get the following error whenever I do a right click on a bussiness rule task and then select Open Business Rule

Execution time of Business Rule

Hi,
My rule is taking more than a day to run. How can i watch its exact execution time. I can't see it in job console as it shows that the business rule is still in processing. And i have also checked in HSP_JOB_STATUS table. It also shows that it is in processing.
Is there an other way to see the exact execution time of business rule.
Thanks and Regards.

To see the exact execution time, you can check in HBRlaunch.log file in planning.
If you want to track the execution time of different parts of your calculation script/business rule then see the essbase application log in detail in EAS.
To see log specific to your business rule, use maxl and spool log to text file, this will give you the logs related to your business rule only and the execution time.
Thanks

How to copy Supporting details using business rule

Is it possible to copy supporting details and attachment, cell text using business rules. We have Copy version option but i want to make it run using a script, is it possible, please suggest

The supporting detail is held in the planning relational tables and business rules are run against essbase, using a business rule you would probably have to create a custom CDF.

Run calc script via business rule

Hello all,
I have calc scripts and business rules in my hyperion essbase.
one of the calc scripts e.g. aggregates some values.
In the business rule i copied the code from the calc script and this business rule can be executed in the planning tool.
Now, everytime when i change the code from the calc script, i have to change same things at the business rule.
And now my question:
Is it possible to start a calc script with the business rule?
e.g. content of business rule: execute "calc_aggregate"
Is there a command?
Then it would save time and i only have to change the calc script and not both.
Thanks for your efforts,
Chris

1) try to use essbase 9.3 with dataexport command in calc script (this version essbase is compatible with planning versions 9x and 4.1)
2) you can write (or found in google) UDF function for run system command or (and) export data set
3) you can run system command from Planning web and run CSC and RUL from essmsh

Diff between associating Business rule with Planing & Essbase Locations

Hi Guys,
I know this can be an elementary level question ..we know we are able to run a Business rule by associating it with a Planning outline & also an Essbase Outline..Just wanted to know the difference .i.e does associating the BR with the Planning Outline provide any extra benefits...??
Thanks

user9098908 wrote:

Not all clients that buy essbase also buy planning and business rules can be used with either so you that is why there needs to be two connections.

Error Creating New Location in Business Rules

I have installed System 11.1.1.x EAS Web on Windows / WebLogic. When I log into EAS as 'Admin' I can log into Business Rules and Create a New Location. When I log in as any other user, I get a message that "Business Rules Login Successful" but when I try to create a New Location I get and error. I get to the select location screen. When I expand (+)Essbase, I see my Essbase Server. When I expand my Essbase Server, I get this error message:

John, Thanks for the response.
The user has all provisions in SS for Essbase and Applications (Server Access as well as Application Administrator). I can explore all the Essbase applications in EAS.
I have double checked all the provisions and refershed security in EAS. I am still getting the same error.
Here are a few more interesting things that I have noticed from debugging. The only account with the ability to create "New Locations" or Associate a Business Rule with an Essbase Application is "admin". If I deprovision "admin" in SS, I can no longer create New Locations. If I add the provisions back for "admin" then I can create New Locations. So, that tells me that BR is looking at SS for provisioning of "admin".
Here is another interesting message in hbrserver.log.

I get the above message when I 'Right Mouse' on Administration under Business Rules and select "Refresh User List".
Any additional thoughts?

Problem with Business rule-Essbase Error(1042017):

Hi,
I am getting the following error when i run this business rule specifically.
Detail:Cannot calculate. Essbase Error(1042017): Network error: The client or server timed out waiting to receive data using TCP/IP. Check network connections. Increase the NetRetryCount and/or NetDelay values in the ESSBASE.CFG file. Update this file on both client and server. Restart the client and try again.
I dont get this error with any other rule. I have checked the solution provided in this link
_[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_error/erhelp.htm#ercalc.htm]_. But this solution wont help because i dont get this error in any other rule.
The rule i run is
"Depreciation Value" = "Cumulative.Asset value"/ ("Assumptions_Programs"->Jul->@UDA(Entity,@NAME(@CURRMBR(Location)))->@UDA(Location,@NAME(@CURRMBR(Location)))->"Assets life in months");
The functions in the above rule will get replaced as below
"Depreciation Value" = "Cumulative.Asset value"/ "Assumptions_Programs"->Jul->IND_Assumptions->LOC_IND->"Assets life in months";
If i hardcode and run, i dont get this error. Please help.
Regards,
Ragav.

The reason it works when you hard code it and why it doesn't when use UDA is simply that you should never have a multiple answers in a cross dimensional. @UDA function returns multiple answers. Even if for your case it only brings back one I believe it is tripping up the calculation. Worse if you are actually bring back multiple answers for @UDA that is definitely not going to work.
I would have to understand all your fixes above the calcultion to recommend you the best possible solution. But at least you understand why you are getting the error and what you have to fix

Business Rules Migration from one server to other server

Hi All,
Can some body help on business rules migration from one server to other server? and also wt is the difference there in Export and import BR's and Administration repository to migrate.........i fail to understand if we export and import br's and need to change in xml target server and after import whether all users can able to see this imported BR's ?
then wt is the use of Administration option under Business Rules-->right click-->repository...connect--->need to connect oracle info....wt is this process? can some body help on this please........
thanks,
huser

Hi,
The methods are pretty much the same in what they do.
When you export rules it creates an xml file based on the selection you have picked, you can just log into EAS and do this you don't have knowledge about the repository, it is also useful for migrating across versions. You also have the option of changing the xml file before importing it into your target.
When you migrate the respository you have to physically connect to the database repository and have knowledge of the connection details, it is probably aimed directly at a system admin.
The options in both methods are pretty much the same, you can choose what you want to export or migrate.
You hit issues when you export/migrate for instance the location names change and need to be updated, you can update the xml file to change the locations though if you choose the migrate option you won't have that ability.
The next issue is the user/group accounts which is the biggest flaw, if the users/groups exist on the target and have the exact same SID then they will migrate otherwise they will usually get dropped.
Cheers

Launch business rules simultaneously from multiple different locations?

Hi All, Thanks in Advance !!
I need to launch business rules simultaneously in Hyperion planning from different multiple locations..
So ,Is there any trouble if i launch a business rule simultaneously from 4-5 locations on same planning application through workspace.
Thanks
Vivek Jaiswal

If you are running the same business rule multiple times then it is trying to calculate and access the same section of the essbase database or are using different RTPs, is this really what you want to do.
You can certainly run multiple rules, I take it you are doing some sort of load testing.
Cheers
