Can't associate Planning Outline to Business Rule in EAS

Hi all
I've searched through this forum but can't seem to find a solution to my issue on any of the existing threads, I have tried what has been suggested to others who seem to have the same problem. My issue is this ... When I have a Business Rule open in EAS, and I try to associate the outline to my Planning Application, I can't see my Planning app. This problem goes both ways ... I can't associate an outline to my Planning App from EAS, and in Planning I can't see the BR's that are added to my forms.
Some history to the issue and what I've tried so far:
This is happening in a test environment, we used this environment a while back to test the changing of the Admin password and what the impact would be. The Admin password was changed successfully and all the components seem to work (EAS, Planning, Workspace, Shared Services) to be honest I didn't test the Business Rules at the time so I don't know if this is causing the problem that I have now. The test environment hasn't been used in a while (besides the testing of the admin password) so I'm not sure at what point this problem started and if the changing of the Admin password is the cause.
I'm not sure if I've messed up something with the RMI Registry because EAS and Planning can't seem to see each other??
I have tried: (without success)
- Changing the password back to what it was originally
- Running the Planning configuration tool
- I have created a new Planning application and can associate a BR in EAS to the new App but still can't see the existing App.
- From within Planning, I have selected 'Administration' -> 'Manage Database' and recreated the Application (selected 'create' rather than 'refresh')
- From within Workspace, when I selected 'Navigation' -> 'Administer' -> 'Classic Application Administration' -> 'Planning Administration' The existing Application does not show up
on the list, only the new test application that I created.
The environment that I am working in:
Planning Classic Application
Version 11.1.1.3 (EAS, Planning, Workspace, Shared Services)
Oracle Solaris on SPARC (32-bit)
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I know that I mentioned that this is on a test environment but I need this environment to set up user training and I need to be able to simulate the business process which means running a Business Rule from a form in Planning.
Kind Regards,
Fraser

hi All
No need to reply, I sorted it out by changeing the EDIT_DIM_ENABLED property to true, now I can change the Calculation module option from 'Calculation Manager' to 'Business Rules'

Cannot select Planning outline in Business Rules

Hi Everyone,
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 (and consequently cannot attach them to Forms)
Thanks

Is this 11.1.2.1 by any chance?
We had this as well, but resolved the issue with this KB:
Error: "Error connecting to Essbase server EssbaseCluster-1" When Trying to Connect Business Rules to Essbase [ID 1328483.1]
     Modified 25-JUL-2011 Type PROBLEM Status PUBLISHED
In this Document
Symptoms
Cause
Solution
References
Applies to:
Hyperion Essbase - Version: 11.1.2.1.000 and later [Release: 11.1 and later ]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
in version 11.1.2.1, after switching Essbase from using host name to a cluster name, in Essbase Administration Services (EAS) it is no longer possible to navigate lower than "EssbaseCluster-1" in the tree of Locations in Business Rules. The following error occurs:
"Error connecting to Essbase server EssbaseCluster-1".
This happens with both pre-existing and new business rules.
Cause
This issue has been identified as unpublished BUG 11783671 - Unable To Select Outline For Essbase Rule If Essbase Cluster1 Is The Server
Solution
The current workaround is:
1. Search for the file named 'essbase.properties' under %EAS_HOME%. Note that normally on a windows setup %EAS_HOME% points to the following path:
":\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\eas"
If it does not exist, create a blank text file and name it 'essbase.properties' and place it under %EAS_HOME%\server\bin
2. Open it in notepad and add the following setting to the beginning of the file:
aps.resolver.urls=http://<APSSEVERNAME>:APSPORT/aps
e.g aps.resolver.urls=http://server1:13080/aps
NOTE: The line is case sensitive
3. Save the file and restart the EAS server.

Associating an outline with Business Rule in EAS

I have seen it on couple of environments, after restarting services, you need to access Hyperion Planning application in Workspace before are able to see Planning application in EAS Business Rules. Initially none of the applications appear in 'Select Database Outline' box.
Does anyone know, if this is a bug, issue with configuration or actual functionality?

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.

Error while validating Business rules in EAS

Hi,
Iam new to hyperion. I created business rule in EAS (using a user with businessrule admin role). when i tried to validate the same, it gives an error message like *"Unable to validate or run this business rule. Detail:Exception occurred. Please check your log file for details"*. So wats the actual problem.
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you have not added security to the rule. Before you assign security you must set the Location in the Location tab, this is the db you want to run the BR on (you can also use 'Allow all Locations')
Then you must goto security tab and assign users / groups to the BR, once you have done this the BR should validate and run.

Trouble Creating Business rules from EAS

Hi All,
I am new to Essbase and Planning. I am facing trouble creating Business rules from EAS. Every time I click on Business rules it shows login failed...

Hi,
Welcome! I believe it could be an access issue. Take a look at this: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/hbr_admin_help/ch03s02s01.html
I would also check the provisioning. Here are the Business Rules roles: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/epm_security/apas08.html
Hope it helps.

Unable to open Business Rules in EAS

For some reason, I all of a sudden cannot open business rules in EAS.
I get the following errors:
Error while sending command to HBR Server running within the EAS server.
Detail:Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: http://usnbka091p:10080/eas/eas
The only thing that happened was that something was messed up with our active directory, but it eventually got fixed. Additionally, it takes a very long time for my EAS to open.
Does anyone have any ideas on where I can look for additional log files to review or anything else that could be causing the problem?

I did manage to get one of the BR's modified by using the admin ID, however there is still an issue. It seems to have something to do with one of our active directories not working. We recently changed active directories, however, there wasn't an issue until all the active directories went down last week. It seems like the original directory is no longer up and running. I am currently waiting for a response from our IT. We'll see how that goes.

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

EAS 9.3.1 Can't choose planning outline when creating new variable

I need to develop a new business rule for production but I can't choose a planning outline for my new variable. Nothing shows up under planning. I can see the prod planning server in prod, but I can't see the dev planning server in dev. Does anyone know how to fix this? I just recycled and there was no change.
Thanks

Once you have restarted eas, planning services, make sure you log into the planning application first, then open EAS and try again.

Changes to business rules in EAS not reflecting in planning

Hi Friends,
One of my client is facing the issue issue.Could anyone help on the issue.
When a new business rule is created or changed in EAS, the changes are not reflected in Planning. A stop and restart of the service is required to see the new business rule or a change to a calculation.
This is a consistent error we are having in development.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi,
First I would check to see if any patches relate to the issue you are having.
I would then log the issue with Oracle to see if they can help any further and it could be a bug.
It sounds like the cache may not be getting updated so planning doesn't see any changes, restarting clears the cache and objects are read directly from the database tables so you can the changes, that is just a guess though.
Cheers

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.

Where can I find the complete Oracle Business Rules Java API Reference ?

Does anybody know where to get the complete Oracle Business Rules Java API Reference ?
The version on http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/web.1013/b28966/toc.htm is incomplete. It is missing the entire "oracle.rules.sdk.ruleset" package.

Kim,
The oracle.rules.sdk.ruleset package is only for internal operation. The public interface to creating rules is oracle.rules.sdk.editor.ruleset , and this is included in the javadoc.

Urgent...!! Cannot Assosiate the Business Rule in EAS

Hi All,
I've some problem with my Business Rule (using 11.1.2.0 version). When I tried to associate the outline, it can't be done and error.
Error Message :

How to solve this problem..??
Thanks.

VieN

Try restarting both Planning and the RMI services.
After the services has been restarted.
Log into Planning and go to Business Rules through Planning.
Check that you can see the business rules available via Planning.
Now try logging into EAS and associating a business rule to the planning outline.
