Dynamic validation of Business Rules

Who has a good thought/example about a principle of dynamically validating Business Rules without coding every time each BR?
I am thinking about a table where I can enter the expressions like:
- <p1> is not Null
- <p1> not in (select 'x' from <table>)
- <p1> < 2000
This logically, simple expressions should return a boolean expression (true or false).

First, in a well designed data model, I'm not sure I see the need for data validation logic to change regularly. If a particular column cannot be NULL today, it would be rather unlikely that it would somehow need to be NULL tomorrow.
Second, I'm not sure I see what this approach buys you over the much simpler approach of adding and removing check constraints if the data model changes. Adding and removing a constraint is pretty trivial-- orders of magnitude less difficult than doing the analysis to determine what constraint needs to change and what impact that has downstream.
Third, I would suspect that if you need to encode these sorts of constrains in a table, your system will kill downstream systems with regularity. If p1 is NOT NULL today, but tomorrow it suddenly allows NULL values, a consumer application might well break (or worse, silently return incorrect results). Data changes should not be able to screw up downstream systems.
Fourth, if you did build such a system, you would have to build your own constraint validator, rather than being able to rely on Oracle's (unless you wrote code to create and drop Oracle constraints based on values in a table, but that seems rather convoluted). Given that Oracle's constraint validation engine is highly optimmized and highly accurate, a home grown engine isn't going to look particularly good in comparison.

Dynamic filename in Business Rules

Hi,
I would like to use the DataExport command in my business rules to extract level-0 data in a file as a reference for user. I would need to extract data only for Entities that a user has access to (I figured that I could use parameters, link the rule to a Planning form and use "members" on form).
My problem is that I would need a different filename for each execution. Something like :
..\userABC_20090513_100350_BV_SBQ.txt
..\userDEF_20090513_100430_BV_SLVQ.txt
Is there a way, in business rules, to find the following info ?
- the user who is currently running the rule.
- the current date.
- the current time.
If not, is there a way to include a shell in a business rule. I have a small .exe that return the date or time as an "errorlevel" code that I could use if I can call a shell in the rule.
Finally, a theorical question : is there an other way to ensure that only the user who run the rule can access the generated file (always while using business rules) ?
Thanks

Validation of business-rule gives error

Hi,
After valadating the following business-rule i get an error message.

It seems to have something to do with a calculation that tries to calculate a member after restricting the calculation to a different member in the same dimension. However, as my knowledge of businessrules is (yet) limited I can not figure out how to adjust the rule properly.

You can not fix on a dimension and do subsequent calculations on that dimension. For example you can not say :
Fix(Jan)
Jan = Feb + March;
EndFix
You need to limit the scope in the fix statment to other dimensions not the one you are trying to calculate

Are you definitely sure JPY exists in the essbase application, go into eas and open the outline and check.
It may exist in planning but if it is not defined as a reporting currency then it won't exist in essbase.

Handling business rules validation

Using adf/bc. After sifting thru alot of documentation, I'm still left wondering about the 'right' way to implement the validation of business rules in the entity class. Specifically, I would like to know the difference between using the validateEntity method to validate attributes and using separate, declarative based method validators for each attribute that needs validation. Also, if a method validator is used and it fails, what type of exception is thrown? JboException? Thanks for input on this.

Steve, thanks for the response. I've implemented the code from (#107) your examples site and everything works fine with regard to providing custom validation messages for attribute validation errors/exceptions. Also, for other more app specific validation of business rules, i'm using method validators on the entity object, which have a corresponding message bundle. This, in conjunction with your code, works good also in catching and customizing error messages. How does the framework 'find' the message bundle to be used for the error message text in a case like this where there is more than one message bundle? Thanks again, James.

Get cell value in Planning Data form and using it in a business rule

Hi Everybody,
if i set the data type of an Account Member as text, is there a way to get the value inserted by the user in a dataform, turning it as dimensional member and using it in a business rule?
So, if the user insert the value "USA" in a cell, can i use any functions to tell essbase that "USA" is a dimensional member and then using it in a business rule, for example in a cross-dimension like Period1->FY12->USA?
I tried to use the function @Member and it doesn't work, but i'm wondering if there is a way that can let me get the value inserted and use it just like a dimensional member. What are the ways that can let user input value that can be used in a business rule? I think one is by using SmartList, is there any other ways? Maybe using variables?? As an alternative i tried to use Prompt Variable but there are too many members on which the rule must run.
Please help me, i wanna know if i can or not let the user input the member on which the rule must run...
Thank all guys
Bye
Maurizio

Thanks EW for your answer,
YesI could use SmartList even if i think it's very tough to handle. My experience on using SmartList in caclc script is not so good. I try to enter in details of my requirement:
I have 500 account members.
For each one, I have to calculate the monthly budget by sharing the amount among the months. The user wants to calculate it on the basis of the actual flow(over the months) of an unspecified account of the prior year. The unspecified account must be inserted in a data form.
So, i could use a Smart List but it colud be of 500 elements and then i should make a rule with as many IF as how many are the accounts. Or im wrong? The only way to use smart list dynamically in a business rule is by referring its values in a IF condition. Or i'm wrong.
I tried to use execution variable ma it seems don't work. In this case the user must pay attention to write the account correctly, otherwise as you say the rule doesn't work.
The value in PD0A020 is "PD0A000" (that is a dimensional member). The value in PD0A000 is "hello". In PD0A040 the rule returns "PD0A000" and not "hello" as i would. The function @Member appears to be not able to catch the dimensional member by the value in PD0A000.
{Example}="test"->"Input"->"Scenario_test"->"FY12"->"PD0A020";
Fix("test1","Input","Scenario_test","FY12")
"PD0A040"=@Member({Example});
endfix
So, my doubt is: is it possible for Essbase/Planning to use the value inserted in a data form and to turn it in a dimensional member? What are the practicable ways to let the user input/choose the member on which makes the rule run?
Thank you Ew, thank you guys
Maurizio

Business Rule Delete Problem

Problem definition:
We have a business rule according to CDM ruleframe, but have a
problem when we want to delete a row from a table. The problem
occurs when the business rule is validated. The
delete operation works fine when the business rule is not
validated.
Business rule: BR_FELT_0006_DEL

Upgrade Business rules with Calc Manager

Hello Gurus,
Recently performed an upgrade from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2 by replicating the Database to a new database machine.
I had Business rules in 11.1.1.3 and did not perform any steps to migrate the rules to Calculation manager in 11.1.2.2
The doubt I have is,
1. Are the business rules automatically upgraded when performing upgrade by EPM system configurator (since the database is replicated)
2. If so, how do I see the business rules in 11.1.2.2 environment? How can I use migrate feature option.
Thanks
HyperionEPM.

From 11.1.2.2 documentation:
Upgrade Wizard
If your application used Oracle Hyperion Business Rules, the Upgrade Wizard automatically converts Business Rules business rules to Oracle Hyperion Calculation Manager business rules. Release 11.1.2.2 supports onlyBusiness Rules business rules as the calculation module.
Notes:
•Classic application administration is now called Oracle Hyperion Planning application administration (versus Oracle Hyperion EPM Architect application administration).
•The Upgrade Wizard automatically upgrades applications having Oracle Hyperion Business Rules business rules, converting them to Calculation Manager business rules. However, the Upgrade Wizard does not automatically convert Release 11.1.2.1 applications having Oracle Hyperion Calculation Manager business rules. For those upgrade instructions, see the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.
Business Rules Maintenance Release and Upgrade Installation PrerequisitesIf you are using Business Rules, you must migrate to Calculation Manager rules in Release 11.1.2.2. Before migrating business rules, you must perform prerequisite tasks. Note that these tasks are required if you are applying the maintenance release or if you are upgrading.
To prepare to migrate Business Rules, perform the following tasks in your current Business Rules environment before installing Release 11.1.2.2:
1.in Business Rules, within the Rule Editor, remove the associated outline (that is, the design time location) from each business rule. After you do this, the Associated Outline drop-down list should display the text, Select Outline.
2.On the Locations tab of the Rule Editor, ensure that each business rule has a valid launch location, which must be an absolute location. Although “All Locations” is valid in Business Rules, when you migrate business rules, you must provide the details of a specific launch location (that is, the application type---Planning or Essbase, the server name, the application name, and the database or plan type). If you want a business rule to be valid for multiple launch locations, you must provide the details for each location. The locations must be in different applications; you cannot migrate the same business rule to different plan types in the same application within Calculation Manager.
If the rule is a part of a sequence, then the launch location of the rule within the sequence must be one of the launch locations listed in the Locations tab of the rule.
3.On the Access Privileges tab of the Rule Editor, ensure that each business rule has security defined for a specific location or locations and not “All Locations.” If multiple locations are defined for a business rule on its Locations tab, you must add security for each location individually.
4.Do not modify rules in Calculation Manager until migration is completed.
5.If you are using Business Rules with Planning, as a precaution, create a backup of the rules: Use Administration Services to export the rules to XML in Business Rules format. If you are upgrading from 11.1.1.3 or 11.1.1.4, also export the rules to Calculation Manager format. EPM System Configurator exports the rules during database configuration for use during application upgrade.
6.If you are an Essbase-only Business Rules user, you must export business rules. To export the Essbase rule from Business Rules:
a.From Administration Services Console, right-click the Business Rules node and select Export.
b.Export the rules in Business Rules format and then select all of the Essbase rules in the repository. If you are upgrading from 11.1.1.3 or 11.1.1.4, also export the rules to Calculation Manager format.
c.Specify the location to save the XML file, and then click OK. If you are upgrading, the location should be a shared drive that is accessible from the upgraded environment.
Make a note of the location. You import the file later in the process.
Migrating Business Rules to Calculation Manager for use with Planning
If you applied the maintenance release to move from Planning Release 11.1.2.0 or 11.1.2.1 to Release 11.1.2.2, and you were using Business Rules rules, you must migrate the rules to Calculation Manager rules.
Before you migrate, ensure that user directories and native users with the same SID are available when you upgrade Shared Services.
Ensure that the Planning applications are upgraded to the current release and are available in Calculation Manager under SYSTEM View.
To migrate Business Rules rules to Calculation Manager rules:
1.In Calculation Manager, select the migrated Planning application, and then select Migrate.
The data that was exported during database configuration with EPM System Configurator is imported to Calculation Manager.
2.Repeat for each Planning application.
3.Deploy the rules from Calculation Manager to Planning. See the Oracle Hyperion Calculation Manager Designer's Guide.
After migrating business rules and rules security, if any of the rules had multiple launch locations and you migrated to more than one location, Calculation Manager creates a rule for the first migration, and shortcuts for all subsequent migrations. If the rule had rule-level variables, for the shortcuts that are created in the application in the new environment , its variables are moved to the Plan level. In this scenario, test rules in your environment to ensure that they work as expected.
If you still have problems, raise an SR and we can get on a call to figure out why the rules are not coming over.

V11 business rules

Hi,
q1. There is a new tool for business rules called "Calculation Manager" in v11 and as far as i understood aas will not be applicable for business rules??
I got that idea because i can not see any planning locations in aas, only essbase locations are available. Is it a problem or do we really have to use calculation manager?
q2. In calculation manager, validate works fine when i don't use prompts but when i use prompts, altought it returns an error saying "'Error:Validation against Planning outline succeeded.
Failed to validate against Essbase. One or more unresolved RTPs found: [RP_Currency, RP_Scenario, RP_Entity, RP_Year] ..." i can still deploy it and it works fine.. Is it a bug or is there a way to handle it??

Hello everyone,
I have got the same message when validating a business rule against Planning in Calculation Manager.
"Failed to validate against Essbase. One or more unresolved RTPs found: [Scenario] on Rule App.Plan1.BR70 Copy Scenario'"
I did not get this message before. The rule is also working fine.
Another odd thing: yesterday, I had the phenomenon that I could not select a value for the variable. Today it's working fine again without having anything changed. Any ideas what this could be?
Thanks!

Error while validating Business Rule (Error Cause: nativeGetNewTLA Rule)

Hi, I am receiving an error while validating business rules
An error occurred in: Rule:HypLive.Plan1.Product Interest
A validation error was received from the Planning server 'http://abc:8300/HyperionPlanning/servlet/HspAppManagerServlet?appname=HypLive'.
'Error:
Error Cause: nativeGetNewTLA Rule HypLive.Plan1.Product Interest'.

Are you able to validate the rule in EAS (or Calc Manager)?
Normally nativeGetNewTLA Rule is followed by out of memory errors like java.lang.OutOfMemoryError,
Increase the heap size to 1024, re start Planning and try validating it again.
Cheers..!!

Hi,
Just to check, can you try and hardcode the category in the rules itself...just for a test to see if it is working.
You can have the category mentioned as CATEGORY=ACTUAL in the rules itself for Other source dimension members and other destination members. J
This is to check if the validation package runs successfully or not.
Thanks,
Sreeni

Business Rule - Problem with Validation Execution

I'm running into an issue where conditional Validation Execution is not working as expected. The background is that i have an Entity Object containing a few string attributes on which i must apply Regular Expression business rules to make sure only characters in a certain range is set. I am using a Not Matches regex on the following:
.*[^\u0020-\uD7FF].*1 attribute is required, 2 are optional. The problem I am experiencing is with the 2 optional attributes.
Since these are optional, I intended to use the Validation Execution tab so that the Rule is executed only when the attribute is not null. For example, here is what i tried for an attribute named Comments:
Comments != nullNo validation occurred when I entered an invalid value, such as a string containing line breaks, in a corresponding ADF Faces page. For the heck of it, i experimented by setting the validation execution to the opposite of what i should be - in other words, trigger validation if the attribute is null, such as:
Comments == nullWith this, the validation occurred as expected.
Is this a bug, or am I misunderstanding something? I'm not particularly good with RegEx - is it possible this is due to some nuance of the expression?
Version: JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.
Thanks-

i'm not sure if this is the correct answer or a workaround to the issue i had asked about. Given that caveat, if anyone else ever runs across this thread, what i found worked was to not use the attribute name in the Validation Execution tab's expression, but instead to just newValue as in the following:
newValue != null

Validation Business Rule Problem

Hi Community
I´m working with SAP BPC 7.0 NW SP09 Consolidation, the problem I have is when I execute the validation package, the result of the Validation Rule because the business rule don´t respect the number sign of the value calculated.
For example I try to confirm this formula ASSETS = LIABILITIES + EQUITY
ASSETS      AST   1000
LIABILITIES LEQ     800
EQUITY        LEQ     400
RESULT                  -200
BUSINESS RULE      200
I was investigating all the posible combinations of dimensions, and I found it could be possible that this error occurs when (Liabilities + Equity) > Asset.
Rule
VAL01     ASSETS=LIABILITIES
Rule Details
Validation Account     Account 1     Flow 1     Sign 1     Account 2     Flow 2     Sign 2     REMARK
VAL01     ASSETS     F_CLO     1     LIABILITIES     F_CLO     1
ASSETS and LIABILITIES are configures as part of dimlist property, where Liabilities have all the equity accounts too.
Hope anyone help me with this problem
Thanks in advance

Hello Ruben
If Account: VAL01 is 'AST' account than Validation Business Rule will give 200 as the result.For 'LEQ' result will be -200.
I think the business rule is working as expected.
Hope this help.

Business Rule Validation Error

Hello,
Please help me I'm finding the this error when I'm validating Business Rule in Admin Services.
"Unable to run or validate this rule (Demo2) against the following location: Essbase/Amit-pc/Sample/Basic for user Admin"
Rahul

Hi,
Make sure you add the location in the locations tab of the business rule, then give the user access in the next tab along.
Cheers
John
