EPMA Batch Client - Can I launch business rules created in Calc Manager?

I'm currently on a project where we have implemented an EPMA Planning app (v 11.1.1.2), and we need to schedule business rules to run in batch. In the past, I used the command line launcher to perform this task. Unfortunately, the command line launcher is really a part of EAS, so it would appear that I cannot use this method to launch a rule created in Calc Manager. Is this correct?
It looks like my other option is to use the EPMA Batch Client. In looking at the "Execute" command in the documentation, it doesn't reference the ability to run a business rule. The docs are fairly limited, so I'm wondering if I really CAN launch a business rule from here.
Has anyone scheduled a business rule (created in Calc Manager) to run in batch? If so, what method did you use? If all else fails, I can create a calc script and run it from MaxL, but I'd rather not have multiple versions of the code floating around.
Thanks!

Hi Jake,
One of the known issues in 11.1.1.3 is :-
You cannot launch a business ruleset with runtime prompts from the Planning command line launch (7205464).
Whether this means you can't run calc manager BR's from command line I am not sure.
There is no documentation in this area so I assume it can't be done yet.
Cheers

Hi, tony.lee,
you can set the business rule on the forms which you want in these steps:
administration--manage data forms selected form edit--business rule option--add the business rule you want to launch .

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 migration to Calc Manager

Hi there,
We are currently in 11.1.2.1 and looking at applying the 11.1.2.2 patch. One of the pre-requisites is the HBR migration to Calc Manager. We are trying to find out if there is a better way of preparing the business rules for migration to calculation manager in a distributed environment. We have three planning servers and approx. 4-8 security groups assigned to a business rule. According to the documentation we now have to assign permissions to each planning server (location) individually and then assign each security group individually to each planning server (location). This means a single rule can have up to 27 objects that need to be assigned. When we start talking about 100’s rules & sequences this really adds up. Is there an easier way to do this in a distributed environment.
I have raised an SR with Product Support who have raised an enhancement request and referred me to consulting however this sounds more like a product issue to me.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Seb

Hi Seb,
I think there may be a somewhat easy answer here. Have you looked at the locations under business rules? You may right click on a location and copy it to another location. I'm pretty certain it copies all security over to the second location also.
Suggest you test this in a non-prod environment if you have one available.

Hyperion Planning business rules migrating to Calc Manager issue

It was suggested I post this in calc manager as well, so I hope cross posting is allowed!
We are trying to migrate from Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2
Our business rules were migrated to Calc Manager by our IT team. The rules run (for the most part).
Our main complaint about this migration is that it excluded our comments inside the business rules and added it's own!
When we first open the rule it is in graphical mode. But on the Script Tab I can see our orignal Business rule, but it's missing comments. Not all comments -- those at the top of the rule are intact, but after it starts getting into the meat of the rule, it loses many, but not all of the comments. When I chose to edit this rule in script mode, then calc manager adds tons if its own comments, making the code very junky to read.
So, multiple questions -- how do we get the migration of business rules to calc manager to stop losing our important comments. Is it possible to get the newly migrated rules to initially open in script mode rather than graphical mode so that it doesn't add it's own comments. Or is there a way to turn off the added commenting?
This is a snippet of our rule in 11.1.1.3:
FIX ("D0P000 Pushdown")
"Accrued Salaries and Wages Pushdown" = "BTL Accrued Sal & Wages Total"->"WBS_I19990_PLAN" * (D0P000->"Total Reg Labor" / "LMSS (LRP TEMPLATE LEVEL)"->"Total Reg Labor");
ENDFIX
/* FIX on account members that should be rolled up in the AGG statement below. */
FIX (@DESCENDANTS( "Orders"),
This is what it looks like when it comes up in graphical mode in Calc Mgr 11.1.2.2 (note that comment is already missing):
FIX ("D0P000 Pushdown")
"Accrued Salaries and Wages Pushdown" = "BTL Accrued Sal & Wages Total"->"WBS_I19990_PLAN" * (D0P000->"Total Reg Labor" / "LMSS (LRP TEMPLATE LEVEL)"->"Total Reg Labor");
ENDFIX
FIX (@DESCENDANTS( "Orders"),
This is what it looks like when it switches from graphical to script (bonus comments are added):
FIX ( /*DIM:Entities*/"D0P000 Pushdown")
/*STARTCOMPONENT:FORMULA*/
"Accrued Salaries and Wages Pushdown" = "BTL Accrued Sal & Wages Total"->"WBS_I19990_PLAN" * (D0P000->"Total Reg Labor" / "LMSS (LRP TEMPLATE LEVEL)"->"Total Reg Labor");
/*ENDCOMPONENT*/ ENDFIX
FIX ( /*DIM:Accounts*/@DESCENDANTS( "Orders"),
Thanks for any help.

You might learn to appreciate graphical mode in Calc Manager, we do. It is not like the old Business Rules in EAS. I am an old school calc script person, and have NO love for drag-and-drop coding ... I need control. ;-)
Insert a blank script object and paste your code into the 'Script' tab for that object. Set up your prompts and use the {} notation in your code. All of the comments will stay put ... as long as you DON'T USE EDIT, SCRIPT! We make a fair number of generic, reusable pieces of code and save them as shared scripts. These can be dragged into Rules. Click on the Rule's Begin object and choose the Script tab ... you will see how the bits are assembled into complete calc script. We've even come up with a way to use LOOP ... ENDLOOP as though it were a procedural IF statement so we can control whether or not a chunk of code is active or not.
Shared scripts are especially good for currency translation components since we occasionally add new currencies and want to make a change in one object that is used in dozens of business rules.

Business Rules Disappearing in Calc Manager

I've got a classic planning app on 11.1.2.1 running business rules through calc manager but just the other day I logged in an i could no longer see the business rules in calc manager when i go to expand the database. The rules still run and are visible in other places like the business rule security manager but not in calc manager. I tried restarting calc manager, reconfiguring weblogic, creating new rules (which actually works but the old one still are invisible). I migrated over the environment from another environment, without luck. Any idea's what could be wrong?
Thanks!
Mark

Hi, have you migrated rules though Appication Group->Foundation->Calculation Manager path of LCM? Or just rules with your application. It looks like the second but it's not enough you should use first one too.
It's not explain what have happened with you rules but may help you to restore them

Log files in EPMA batch client

Hi All,
I want to make log files while using EPMA Batch client.
I am using -T and -R option to make the log files. But its not working correctly. Can anyone tell whats wrong with this?
I used belong command.
epma-batch-client.bat -C"D:\Ads File\DimAddDeploy.txt" -T"D:\Ads File\Trace.log" -R"D:\Ads File\ResultFile.txt"
Also when we run ImportParameters to add the dimensions , I need to make a log file. Instead of going to the URL for checking logs, can we import the URL contenst in a seperate log file?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jake,
One of the known issues in 11.1.1.3 is :-
You cannot launch a business ruleset with runtime prompts from the Planning command line launch (7205464).
Whether this means you can't run calc manager BR's from command line I am not sure.

Export Dimensions using EPMA Batch Client

HI,
Does anyone know if there is a way to export the dimensions from EPMA using a command line tool like the EPMA Batch Client. I have gone through the guide and there are commands to import the dimensions but none to export them from EPMA. We are on EPM 11.1.2.1 version and all our apps are using EPMA with planning so unfortunately i cannot use the planning outline extractor tool either. Thanks

You can use LCM to export a hierarchy, and that can be scripted LCM batch utility. Create a migration to the file system with LCM. Select the hierarchies you want to export. When you get to the point where it asks you to execute the migration, there is also an option to save an XML file with the options you selected. You can use that xml file with the utility. Details are found at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_lifecycle_management/frameset.htm?launch.htm.
The exports are in the import/export folder under the ID of the person executing the migration. The folder/files can be copies anywhere.

EPMA batch client with Essbase application - does not update aliases

Hello,
We are using EPMA 11.1.2.1 for managing outlines for Essbase applications.
Changing aliases in EPMA and launching manually redeploy from Workspace, with flag "Full Deploy" change correctly the aliases in Essbase..
Using the EPMA batch client to redeploy the Essbase application deletes all aliases in Essbase outline.
Someone knows how to solve this problem or what am I doing wrong in the EPMA script?
thanks...
this is the EPMA script:
SET bpmaserverurl=http://epma_server/hyperion-bpma-server;
SET workspaceurl=http://work_space_server/workspace;
login admin,password;
Execute reDeploy
Parameters(ApplicationName, InstanceName, waitforcompletion, deployOption)
Values('PNL', 'ESSBASE_STUDIO_SERVER:essbase_server_name', 'True', 'AppView');
Quit;

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
From your description it seems that you are facing issue only with windows 8\8.1. So firstly suggest you to check with application support team, whether they have whole support for application with newer version. Also check once with application support team
regarding this issue.
This issue occurs because the local taskbar does not receive the EVENT_OBJECT_NAMECHANGE event from the system due to a timing issue. The EVENT_OBJECT_NAMECHANGE is needed to update the taskbar title information.
More information (For reference).
The taskbar may not show the application name correctly when using a Terminal Server RemoteApp
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Smart View error on Launching Business Rule

Hi ,
I am in Planning 9.3.1
After connecting to Planning Webform from Smartview, i am trying to Launch Business Rule attched to the webform
Hyperion--> Calculation Option--> Rules on form
It open the new BR Launching window with all parameter selected in the Webform Page drop down list but when i trying to change the Arguments
by clicking on the icons or if i am clicking on the Launch button getting following error
"Substitution Vars XML is malfunctioned, can't initialize dialog"
any idea or tought on this.
-KK

There is an article on this issue on "My Oracle Support"
SmartView "Substitution Vars XML is malformed, can't initialize dialoge.." Message is Displayed after Clicking on the Magnify Button [ID 752508.1]
Symptoms
Error message in SmartView after clicking on the magnify button "Substitution Vars XML is malformed, can't initialize dialog.." is displayed.
Planning web forms with Business Rule (Runtime prompt) set to "Run on Save". When submitting data in SmartView, it will then open a separate window to allow changes to the run time prompt values.
Cause
This issue is caused by substitution variables values containing double quotes or the '&' signs.
Solution
This is a noted bug, but the following will help as a workaround to the problem:
1. Login to EAS as administrator.
2. Next navigate to the enterprise view.
3. Select the Essbase Servers.
4. Right-click on your server.
5. Select Edit.
6. Select Variables.
7. Remove double quotes and '&' signs from substitution variable value.
Cheers

Properties that are updateable and which ones not using epma batch client

Can anyone provide list of properties (HFM/Essbase etc.) that are updateable and which ones not using epma batch client?

This will be documented in the batch client and related documentation on the EPM documentation portal

Launch business rules simultaneously from multiple different locations?

Hi All, Thanks in Advance !!
I need to launch business rules simultaneously in Hyperion planning from different multiple locations..
So ,Is there any trouble if i launch a business rule simultaneously from 4-5 locations on same planning application through workspace.
Thanks
Vivek Jaiswal

If you are running the same business rule multiple times then it is trying to calculate and access the same section of the essbase database or are using different RTPs, is this really what you want to do.
You can certainly run multiple rules, I take it you are doing some sort of load testing.

EPMA Batch client command Equivalent to Select Top Member

Hi
I am looking for EPMA batch client command equivalent to performing "Select Top Members" in web against a shared dimension in Application library.
I can find commands for exclude members in the document but could not find any Dimension Property or Command which will help me to automate this.
Thanks in Advance.

I don't believe there is a command that will do that yet.

ODI OS command call epma batch client failed to run

hi expert,
I have a question to ask for solution.
My problem is that ODI OS Command failed to run epma batch client to import dimension members and deploy to application .
I am using ODI 11g and EPM 11.1.2.1. I added the ODI_Agent to opmn as service. tested agent ok.
I installed ODI as client can run ODI packages to update dimension members choosing ODI agent to run. The package shows run successfully in ODI operator. But when I check the EPMA job console. no dimension update job ran.
my ODI OS command as below:
cmd /cE:/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1/products/Foundation/BPMA/EPMABatchClient/epma-batch-client.bat -CE:/Scripts/Import_FIN_DIM.txt -RE:/Oracle_data/Finance/IMPORT_FINANCE.log -LOn -SFalse
any ideas ?
regards,
Chris

Check the script. Your command does not return any specific code. Even if the EPMA batch client returns an error code, DOS does a poor job of communicating it back to java programs which is what ODI agents are. Now, since the code failed, you have to investigate the reason in your script.
My suggestion is to wrap your command in a script, check for the returned error code in that script and then write a error file or update a table or point to a specific line in log file so that ODI can find if the process was successful or not. Then call the wrapper script from ODI.
