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

Error while selecting planning app in Business Rules

Hi ,

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

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?

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'

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 selecting oultine in Business Rules v11.1.1

Hi Experts,
essbase version: 11.1.1
I have created a new app in Essbase, and when I want to select this outline when I create a Business Rules, i receive this message:
Error connecting to Essbase server SERVER/DATABASE
Detail:com/hyperion/cp/clients/util/UMCParser
Any idea please?
Thanks

Hi,
Any time I have had trouble associating outlines with Business Rules with Essbase/Planning, it has been down to either :
1. Services not started in correct order
2. Security / Shared Services not in sync.
Your exact message doesn't look to familiar, but I would still check the above, in particular check that you have synched EAS with Shared Services. Eg Refresh Security , and also under business rules refresh user list.
One recent thing I saw with v11.1.1 is that we couldn't properly associate the BR with Essbase/Planning when logged in as admin, but could when using another Shared Services user, with the appropriate provisioning. I have not had a chance to investigated why.

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

Cannot see a user id when assigning Business Rules to a user

User is properly provisioned in Shared Services. But cannot see her when assigning Business Rules security.
please help me with this issue.
thanks,

Hi,
In AAS, under HBR node, right click Administration and refresh user list.
You could also try to refresh the security from shared services.

Hi,
The first thing to always try is :-
stop planning service
stop eas service
restart rmi service
start eas service

log into planning application you want to create a business rule for.
log into EAS, create business rule, associate outline with planning app

Issue with creating/Launching a Business Rule

Hi All,
I'm using Hyperion version 11.1.2. When creating Business Rule in EAS console, we can't use admin user right ? Is there any specific reason for that ? I've created one other user called "BRadmin" and given admin privileges to all areas. I've logged in EAS console with the new user ID BRadmin and under "Business Rules" i'm trying to create a new Business Rule BR1. In the associated outline area when i'm trying to select "Select outline" no applications are showing under planning and the planning applications are available under Essbase node. For Business Rules, i should select Planning Application under Planning node right ? Why it is happening. I'm unable to select the Planning application from Planning node and due to this, i'm unable to see the Business Rule in Data Forms in Work Space. Pls. advice

I did Stop the following services, planning, EAS, hyperion RMI.
& Started them up RMI, EAS, Planning.After this have you logged in the planning application, before selecting business rules in EAS?
1. Have you selected Calculation module as Business Rule during outline creation? if not select Calculation module as BR.
2. Right click on the business rule node and select refresh user list.
Cheers..!!!

EAS does not show Business Rules node

I'm in the process of validating an 11.1.2 Planning installation. This is the development environment, so one Essbase server, one everything else server.
One of the issues I've run across is that my client install of EAS does not have a Business Rules node (I am staying away from Calculation Manager because of multiple horror stories from multiple sources I have heard about it).
However, it does show up in the launched-from-the-web version.
The web launched release numbers are:
EAS 11.1.2.0.00.462
APS 11.1.2.0.0.615
HBR 11.1.2.0.0.722
And now this gets really weird. The client launched release numbers are:
EAS 11.1.1.2.0.00.462
APS 11.1..2.0.0.615
HBR *4.1.1*
Somehow my clean install has magically gotten the last release of Planning 4's Business Rules?
It sure sounds like something didn't get installed correctly. I was able to find this thread regarding the same problem:
How to add HBR plugin in EAS console
In that thread, RahulS wrote:
To sort this out give a try to copy common/log4j folder from the sever to the client or install the Integration Services Client on the machine where the Administration Services Console is installed.Unfortunately, there are multiple log4j folders and none (that I can see) that have a parent of common. Can anyone give me some guidance as to if this is a good solution and if so, a better hint as to what log4j folder I should grab?
Thanks,
Cameron Lackpour
P.S. I found the install log for EAS and found two errors at the end of the install process, but I believe these are related to writing an icon to the desktop. This doesn't surprise me as this Vista laptop is locked down tight.

There you go I was on the right track, who needs oracle support :)^^^Isn't this board a sort of unofficial Oracle support? I have to admit that after my first fruitless search of the KB on support.oracle.com, I purposely came here first before I had the client log a SR.
That's wrong, of course, or at least a little illogical, given that the customer pays for support and after all, answering these kinds of questions is sort of their primary job. Putting on my ODTUG hat, KScope 2011 is going to have a support symposium that is going to focus on process (like why is Cameron so brain-dead that he can't type 'EAS and node' into the KB search field which pops up the obvious answer?) so that people don't do a time waster like I just did. It's going to have some pretty big names and I hope you all can come.
I'm going to forward this thread to my contact at Oracle support as evidence that even "intelligent" people could use some help with how to do searches, no matter how elementary that may be.

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

Business Rule Error

Hi,
I am trying to launch the Business Rule using the Command Launcher utility. It was working fine a few days back, but today when I am trying to execute it, its giving me the following error:

Yes it creates a connection and populates information into EAS/HBR db table (HBRPluginData), not sure if it is exactly the same with the command line launcher though I thought it may be.
Its always been a pain that you have to log into planning first before business rules work correctly through EAS, probably never get fixed now as the push is towards calc manager now.
Cheers

Business rules and calculation manager

Hi ,
Could anyone pls tell me the difference between the calculation manager and business rules?

Calculation manager is a web component that is designed to manage business rules from a web interface. It is enabled to build calculations also using a graphic interface, although this mode is more suitable for simple calculations than for complex ones. Calculation manager allows you also to use complex templates that you can customize with prompts in order to adapt them to each rule without being force to change the code. Basically it is an evolution of the essbase business rules macro function. Once a business rule is created it has to be deployed in order to be used with planning applications. The deploy activity copies the rule on the database, both in the calculation manager tables in and the planning tables.
Business rules are instead essbase artifacts. They aren't available any more from version 11.1.2.2 on.
In versions older than the 11.1.2.2 you were forced to use calculation manager for epma applications, while essbase business rules were used in classic applications. In terms of calculations there is no difference between the two technologies, they behave exactly in the same way. There is only a small difference in the prompts syntax, {} in calculation manager and [] in essbase business rules.
Although i find the calculation manager web editor quite slow and imprecise to use, I anyway advice to use it in order to make eventual release upgrades easier.

Cannot select Planning outline in Business Rules
