Enable/select/change to Business rules from Calc Manager in App settings

Hi all,
Somehow we are Unable to Expand the Planning Node in Essbase Administration Services (EAS) Console When Creating Business Rules. I am not sure is it
I am not sure, is it because of one of the application has calc settings as calc manager in under application settings in dev environment, but in other environment all applications set it as Business Rules.
I was trying to change from Calc Manager to Business rules in App settings, but it is grayed out and not able to change to Business rule from calc manager.
Please suggest me.
Thanks,

If it say been set incorrectly then you may need to update one of the relational tables for the application.
Table - HSP_SYSTEMCFG
Field - CALC_ENGINE_OPTIONS
Values - 1=HBR, 2=CalcMgr
Restart the planning application web app service after making changes.
Cheers

Business Rules and Calc Manager

Can anyone help with these questions:
1) Are you supposed to be able to run business rules from/via Smart View?
2) Since HBR is being decomm'd in 1.2.2 and Calc Manager fully replaces it, are you supposed to be able to run Calc Mgr calcs from/via Smart View
3) Can you create Run Time Prompts in Calc Manager for an Essbase (not Planning) connection only? Since you can in HBR surely you can in Calc Mgr? It was greyed out in my test.
Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,
To date Smart View only runs rules against Essbase when using Hyperion Planning. Using rules in conjunction with forms is one of the value propositions of Hyperion Planning.
The guide is pretty clear the RTP's are for Planning only.
Suggest you take a read through the Calculation Manager admin guide available at: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/cmgr_admin.pdf
And the full EPM product docs are always nice to have on hand from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/performance-management/documentation/index.html or from the quick link area on my blog.

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.

Extract BR's from calc manager database

Does any one have a SQL code to extract the Business rules from calc manager database in 11.1.1.3?
I need this for Backup/Restore purpose.

I don't think you can get it easily Calc manager stores rule as XML file and if you look at the xml file the code starts from something called as !CDATA (I don't know how close i'm, but it is something with CDATA).
I would recommend to backup all the tables and if you are interested in exporting the code part only, then you'll need a OS based script or even use Oracle XMLTable (I've not tried it)

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 opening business rule from AAS

Hi,
I'm unable to open business rules from AAS console associated with one of the Planning/ Essbase application. This particular planning application is also not showing up when I try to "select outline" for the business rule. The business rules for this particular application are running fine from Planning web application.
Error retrieving Planning application app_name on server server_name.
Detail:Exception occurred. Please check your log file for details.
hbrserver.log randomly shows one of the two errors given below:
2010-06-15 16:02:56,469 WARN [ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '1' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)' com.hyperion.hbr.plugin.planning.PlanningMetadata - Error retrieving Planning application app_name on server server_name.
or

There is no issue with other business rules which are associated with other applications.
I have tried restarting EAS service but that didn't fix the issue. Also, i reckon this problem came up after I manually deployed 64 bit weblogic for EAS. On other environments where tomcat is being used there are no issues at all.
Thanks in advance.

I take it you have tried the standard process of :-
Stop Planning,EAS, RMI services.
Start RMI,EAS,Planning
Log into the planning application through the web.
Log into EAS, open your rule.
Also can you create a new rule for the planning application after following the above process?
Cheers

Unable to access to Business rules from planning

HI all,
We are using Hyperion Planning 9.3.1, Essbase 9.3.1 and AAS 9.3.1.
Unfortunately, we are not able to access to business rules from planning.
All rights are set properly, the business rules are visible through AAS 9.3.1 and are accessible from all locations.
When we go to tools/business rules and select the database, we are not able to see any business rules.
If someone has any idea, it will help us a lot,
Thanks for reading this post, guys.

Thanks for your help John,
Unfortunately, we do not have the directory \HyperionPlanning\webapps\HyperionPlanning\WEB-INF\classes\.
We tried to put the file in the directory \HyperionPlanning\deployment\tomcat\HyperionPlanning\webapps\HyperionPlanning\web-inf\classes\
But it still doesn't work.
For your information, we are currently using TOMCAT as web server.

Migrate Business Rules from 9.x to 11.x

I am trying to migrate business rules from 9.21 to V11.1.1.3
I used to export the rules, then edit the XML for the correct server and location names, then import into the target server-all with 9.21
Now when I try the same process, I get this error when importing into V11.1.13
Detail:Error while importing object properties.
Detail:com.hyperion.hbr.beans.UserObjAccessFilter.setUserGroupName(java.lang.String)
I can use the migrate repository option just fine, but then I have to go in with a SQL script and update the location and server names in the relational tables. I prefer the export/import since I can do that without impacting users.
Any ideas on how to import the rules and resolve this error?
Thanks
Jeff

Hmm no luck with one rule that has no security assigned to it. and no luck with one project with no security.

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.

Can't launch Business rules from Smartview

Hi,
I am trying to lauch a business rules from smartview, but the "calculation option"/ "business rules" menu is unavailable in Excel.
This business rules is available in the Web HBR launcher.
How could I get access to business rules in Excel please ?
Regards

In Excel, you can't launch a Business rule in a free form, you have to use a form from Hyperion Planning for example.
It would have been nice to be able to launch a BR in Smartview, as in the web launcher.

Business rules from epma to planning

Hi,
In EPMA version 11.1.12 I am having an issue with business rules. I wrote and deployed a business rule from EPMA to planning and everything was fine, the rule ran on save in the data form.
Now, I tried to run the rule a few days later and it won't run. I tried to remove and re-add the rule, but now its not visible. In planning, I can't see 'business rule security' in the administration drop down.
I deployed the application and all the rules and everything is successful, but still nothing in planning. In another application the rules are there.
How could a business rule disappear from planning and not show up again when it was deployed? Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
Dq

We sometimes see similar issues when the services are recycled in the wrong order. Perhaps a service failed or was restarted (after you had been successful in running the business rule from Planning)?

If I Print to Grayscale it works fine.
Any ideas?

Can you be more specific - can you reproduce the result with different variables? (Create a new document)
What version of Acrobat, including update level (ie; AA Pro 9.5.1)
What Operating system?
Are these line strokes or frames to a polygon?
What authoring software?
Can you host the file such that someone else could attempt the same fixup?
