Create a Business Rule to validate a datetime field

Hi friends,
I'm trying to create a business rules to validate a datetime attribute.
I tried to use the Validation "must contain the pattern" but I don't kwnow exactly how it works.
In the Edit Action section I have 3 options:
- Attribute value
- Attribute
- Blank
Where should I write the RegExp?
Any comment will be appreciated.
Kinde Regards,
Paul

Hi superbluesman,
thanks for your quick answer.
I created this expression to validate my specific date format and it works:
^(0[1-9]|1[012]|[1-9])[- /.](0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[- /.](19|20)\d\d
Kind Regards,
Paul

Hi,
The first thing to always try is :-

stop eas service
restart rmi service
start eas service

Help with Creating a Business Rule...

Hi All,
I am using Planning 11.1.1.1.0.
I have created a classic planning application and now have to incorporate a way to copy data from one slice of the essbase db to other.
I am trying to copy data from the following slice
Entity : EasternZone
Version:Working (Bottom Up)
Scenario: Actuals
Currency:USD
Period:YearTotal
Year: 2007
to
Entity : EasternZone
Version:Working (Bottom Up)
Scenario: Actuals
Currency:USD
Period:YearTotal
Year: 2008 and increase by a certain percentage which is not fixed..
How should i go about achieving this using business rules? (Calc manager is used with only EPMA applications so where do i create the business rule?) Can somebody share some ideas please?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards.
Alicia

Hi!
Are you transferring data in same application from db to another? If yes, then possibly you could use @xref function.
for example :
fix ("EasternZone", "Working","Actuals","USD","YearTotal")
"2008" = @xref("_name of source db location alias_","2007")*[RunTimePrompt for percentage];
endfix
The name of the location alias you can find from destination db --> edit --> location aliases. There you can see the location alias name of the source db.
if you want to be sure about block creation then you could also add the following rows at the beginning
/*fix ("EasternZone", "Working","Actuals","USD","YearTotal","any account")*/
/* "2008" = 0;*/
/*endfix*/
kind regards,

Error while creating a Business rule dictionary in Jdevloper 11g

Hi,
I am getting the following error when i define the Inputs and outputs during creating on a new business rule dictionary.
Some XML schemas are not in the "xsd" directory! gardes.xsd
Please manually move or copy the Schemas
I am following the "Creating a Rule-enabled Non-SOA Java EE Application" guide in Oracle® Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Oracle Business Rules, 11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
The two schema files generated were having different content after creation of XML schema file so I copied the file to make them same. Its still giving me the same error.
Please Help.
Thanks,
Mac

Creating simple Business Rules in BPEL process

Hi,
I have an environment consisting of SOA Suite 11g running on Weblogic Server. I'm using JDeveloper 11g for development.
Scenario
I have a BPEL process which starts off by polling a DB table and I then assign the input to a Recieve activity's InputVariable. I have a 'Number' column which will contain a number between 1 and 3. I then require Business Rules (BR) to be set up which read this value, and based on the number, assign a 'Name' string (which is to be the output variable from the business rules) to be used later on in BPEL process.
Problem - I have followed the basic tutorials available in order to set up the business rules, but am getting numerous errors. Firstly, I sometimes find that my input/output variables created during setup of BR component and the XSD based on this, does not have XML Faces automatically created for it (therefore have to create it myself by clicking on the + button and doing this for each element of XSD). When I do get this working, I then double-click on my Business Rules activity in my BPEL process, only to find that the input/output variables here no longer are assignable to my BR input/output variables as I get the following error "Exception: Problem Building Schema!".
I am not sure why this is, but suspect that my XSD (which is very simple anyway) or the setup steps I follow to define the link to my XSD, are wrong.
I have taken the following steps so far:
1. Create empty BPEL process
2. Set up polling adapter to poll DB table
3. Create Receive activity and assigned polled input to created variable
4. Add Business Rules component to composite and set up and create dictionary here. Also set up inputs/outputs to be in form of my XSD elements.
5. Add Business Rules component to my BPEL process and configure this to include input/output variables (*This is where error occurs*)
6. Go back to .rules component in composite to define rule and define rule
Upon deployment, I get many errors most of which pertain to "Unresolved XML element... make sure XML element +xxxxx+ is defined in one of WSDL's that are referenced by the deployment descriptor."
I have only imported a simple XSD containing two elements to this project. The other XSD is the one of my polling adapter. I've not created any input/output variables for the overall BPEL process as didn't think I was required to.
Can you please help in getting this process doing the simple activities described at the top.
I appreciate your help.

Hi,
Create a project with BPEL composite
Now drag a business rule
Now create input variable of type ur requestelement
and output variable of type response element
Now in rules designer page take decision table
and then craete a condition (inputelement.input > 1000) and in the rule select true
now create another rule select false
Npw create an action with assertion and select the parameterized box there
now in designer page for first rule assign some value (say 500) and for second rule some value(100)
Now in bpel u have to assign a value to input var of BR
Deploy the process
If u supply 10000 u will get 500
if u supply 100 u will get 100
In the same way u can do by using If-Then
You can use facts and bucketsets according to ur requirement

Error creating 'Journalling Business Rules'

When running 'Maintain Journalling Business Rules' for a table with 19 columns an EMPTY 'BR_xxx_JRN_DEL' trigger is created , hence the CAPI definition fails.
If I add 1 more column to make it 20 columns the 'BR_xxx_JRN_DEL' and the CAPI are both generating correctly.
Has anyone else found this ?????

GRC PC 10.0 business rule creation: Wildcard for Currency field

Hi,
Currently I am designing a business rule that has standard price as a deficiency. I am using a blank check. But the system wants me to choose a specific currency. I want it to retrieve all records with the deficiency, regardless of currency.
I've tried using "*" in the currency field, but it retrieves nothing. I am only able to retrieve records when I add a specific currency.
Why is that? And what can I do to fix this problem?
Thank you.

Hi Raphael,
Have you defined the Currency field as a filter criteria? If yes, can you please remove the field from filter selection and try to execute the rule again.
Just make sure it comes under output format section.
regards,
Rajeshwari

How create a business partner (BUP1) with a default field?

HI,
I need to implement these changes, when the user calls the transaction BUP1:
- The user must create a Business Partner with a field already filled by default.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
Mark

Hi Mark,
When you create an Attribute set there is a check box named 'Default'. When you select this field then your attribute set will appear as default. You can do the same for the attributes, if you want to define a default value for an attribute.
Also, in Customizing spro > Cross-Application Components> SAP business Partner --> business Partner --> Basic Settings --> Field Groupings --> Configure Field attributes per activity, it is possible to define, if you create a customer, that the Attributes Set field should be : displayed, hidden etc.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,

Problem using "Create Business Rule Design Definition" utility

Hi everyone,
I tried to create a business rule with Headstart Utilities - Create Business Rule Design Definition (Revision 6.0.0.20) and I got the following errors :
Errors
Message
Combination of Message Prefix and Message Number (SGM-ENG) does not match format AAA-NNNNN.
Activity aborted with ORACLE internal errors.
-1400 ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("HST50"."QMS_MESSAGE_TEXT"."LANGUAGE")
I suppose that the utility concatenate the message prefix and the language to build the error message.
Our Oracle Designer version is 6.0.3.9.0, Headstart 2.1.2 with patch 12.4 and Developper is 6.0.5.35.3
Any patch available?
Regards,
Jerome Couture

Tim,
Headstart should be able to check out any tables you need.
We think we have the user settings
done correctly, but there may be something that we
have missed. How can we get Headstart to
automatically check-out the table(s) for which we
want to run the Business Rules design transformer?The user settings you need are (see also pages 5-7 and 5-10 in the Headstart User's Guide):
- Under 'Process the following objects', choose 'Checked out by anyone'
- Also check the check box '... also Checked In objects'
- Choose whether you want to automatically check out with or without lock
If this does not help, please run the utility with log level 'Debug Detailed' (can also be set in the User Preferences) and report the last few lines of the log messages. They should give an indication of why the check out does not succeed.
Hope this helps,
Sandra Muller

Unable to find Business Rules in the JDeveloper while creating new project

Hi All,
I am going through the chapter 9 Creating a Rule-enabled Non-SOA Java EE Application for JDevloper 11g. I am following the instruction given in the chapter.
However I am unable to find a Business Rules category for creating a Business rules directory.
Probably it has to be activated from somewhere.
I tried searching its significance with JDev installation but haven't got anything.
It seems very basic level problem, however...Please let me know if anybody knows how to solve it
Thanks,
Makarand.

Did you install the SOA extension for JDeveloper from the help->check for updates?

GOTO in Business Rules.

hello all,
i am trying to create a business rule with GOTO to skip the "CurrYear" Calc.
i am getting an error while doing this .
ex :
IF (&ProjMonth == "Jan")
GOTO "CurrYear";
ENDIF
LOOP(1, PROJ_JAN)
ENDLOOP
:"CurrYear"
EXIT;
could anyone help me out what is wrong in the statement.
Thanks

Hi
GOTO is an ESSCMD.
I am not sure whether we can use it in Business rule.
never used it.
when I tried to use in a Business rule, I was not able to validate the business rule.
please let us know if you have a way of using it.
Thanks
