Export Business Rules

Hi,
Is there any way to automate of exporting Business Rules??? Right now I am doing that manually. Right click Business Rules... Export. Please suggest.
Regards,
Anil

Hi,
It is stored in binary format so it is not just as simple as querying the table.
If you have a look at this post :- Re: Exporting Hyperion Business Rules as Text files
It has an example of extracting the information

Exporting Business Rules from command prompt

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is any way to export Business Rules to XML automatically through command prompt (instead of manually doing it through EAS Console).

AS console hangs when trying export business rules

Hi,
when i try to export business rules from administration services console it hangs and task manager shows admincon.exe 100% cpu usage.
Need help.
Thanks,
Timur

Hi Timur,
I ran into the same trouble. I could get 5-7 rules at a time exported just fine. but more than that it would just run and run for hours.
One option is perhaps increase your java heap sizes for EAS.
Another option which we did was to change security to be by project instead of by rule and this made our exports much faster
This was with Hyperion 9.2.1

Exporting business rules

I'm using the instructions from the following thread, Re: Steps to migrate Hyperion Planning application from 9.2.0 to new 9.3.1 env to copy a Planning application from version 9.2.0.2 to 9.3.1. There is a reference in these instructions to export the business rules using Administration Services. I only see options for Business Rules to either copy or export to shared services in the 9.2.0.2 version of the AAS Console. Which one of these options should I use or is there someplace else I should look to export the business rules.
Thanks,
Tom

Yes, the user Id. is an admin for business rules. It may be a configuration issue. I get the following message when I try to click on a rule under Business Rules in Shared Services.
Refer to your Admin Guide to configure security privileges for this application.
I get this message in both the 9.2.0.2 environment and 9.3.1 environment. The user is an admin for Business Rules in the 9.3.1 environment also.
The application does not use forms which I beleive is what Business Rules are used for. Not sure if they are used for anything else. Is it safe that I can ignore the business rules in the 9.3.1 environment or am I missing a critical piece that needs to be included in the 9.3.1 environment.
Thanks,
Tom

How to export Business Rules 3.5 to XML or 9.3/11.1 compatible format?

Hi,
I need for upgrading Hyperion Planning 3.5 to 11.1.x.
Please tell me how to export Hyperion Business Rules 3.5.1 to XML or 9.3/11.1 compatible format?

I don't think there is an easy path to upgrade rules from that version as the format changed.
You may in the end have to resort to copy and pasting the rule code.
Cheers

Business rule export issue

Hi all,
I created a business rule in calculation manager. Now I want to have this one in my EAS console.
I try to export my business rule from calculation manager, but when I click export some window appears and immediately disappears. So I can't do export.
What it could be? Is there any else way to export business rule to EAS Console?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I did'nt faced any issues wile exporting using the LCM. This is actualy the best methods of exporting and importing the BRs form different environments.
You can also try exporting na dimporting the BRs from EAS console.
I dont you how you are doing it, it is hjust about selecting the artifacts take an export and import from the file system.
It is ok to copy paste if you have a few rules to export, but if you have many, then try to use one of the approach that the product provides.
Thanks,
Sourabh

Business Rule Export Not Complete

I have a situation where I am exporting business rules and the codeblock of a few business rules are not included. If I look at the XML, the business rule is there, the name,description, ect, but the node that should have the actual code is either empty or not there. Has anybody experienced this before? We have cycled the services to clean the cache. There aren't any special characters that I would expect to break the xml. We don't get any errors during the export. Anybody ever had this issue?

Try the following
Option 1
EAS console provide the functionality to migrate (rather than export to file) a repository from a source environment to a target environment by direct RDBMS connection.
Refer to page 97 of the HBR administrator guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/hbradmin.pdf
Option 2
Increase the heap size of the EAS console via the "admincon.lax" file found under Hyperion\AnalyticAdministrationServices\console\bin
The parameter to change is: "-Xmx256M" in the "LAX.NL.JAVA.LAUNCHER.MAIN.METHOD" section of the file.
You can increase it to a maximum of "-Xmx1024M"
Hope this helps.
Cheers

LCM Business Rules Export using Utility.bat

Hi All,
Wondering if anyone has any tips on using Utility.bat to export business rules. I've defined a migration for business rules but it only exports one Business Rule to xml. When executing the same migration definition from Shared Services, the business rules get exported to XML fine.
We're running Planning 11.1.2.1.600.2.
Thanks,
Ryan

Hello Ryan,
Want to Export BR of ESSBASE (or) from Calc manager .
If Calc manager then first select all the Calc manager related artifacts through migration definition, after you get the export XML file ,Create a import migration XML file .
Now try to use Utility.cmd and place the files in Utility.cmd folder only and import all calc rules .

DataExport Syntax Error in Business Rules

I am having issues trying to create a data export business rule in version 9.3.1. The syntax works fine as a calc script but when I copied it to a business rule I get a syntax error at the first bracket ({) after the 'DATAEXPORTOPTIONS.' The error says it was expecting "\", "]]", <SUBST_VARIABLE>...
The script is pretty simple:
SET DATAEXPORTOPTIONS
DataExportColFormat ON;
DataExportColHeader "Account";
DataExportOverwriteFile ON;
FIX(&ActYear, "Plan","Working.DIV","Local","USD","EUR""HSP_InputValue",@LEVMBRS("Entity",0),"Patch_US","Total Employees")
FIX(@REMOVE(&LastClosedMonth:"Dec",&LastClosedMonth))
FIX("RegularWages","MeritInc","FICATax","FUTATax","SUTATax","IntlTax",@DESCENDANTS("HCFT"),@DESCENDANTS("HCPT"),@DESCENDANTS("HCInt"))
DATAEXPORT "File" "," "F:\Hyperion\AnalyticServices\app\AOLWFP\WrkForce\Exp_WrkForce_ActYear.txt";
ENDFIX
ENDFIX
ENDFIX
I know the data export would not work with business rules unless you have at least patch version 9.3.1.1.5. This shouldn't be an issue:
EAS - 9.3.1.4
BR - 9.3.1.1.11
Planning - 9.3.1.1.12.5
Has anyone come across this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-John

Thank you for pointing this out.
I'm currently browsing metalink kb but "7021469 - Business Rules should support dataexport and dataimportbin functionality" provides no results.
hbr_93300_readme.pdf refers indeee to that issue but I cannot upgrade to that version (because, as stated in that pdf, I should upgrade all prouducts to 9.3.3)
You said it might be solved in Administration Services release 9.3.1.5 (I believe 9.3.1.1.5 was a typo), but the readme does not mention it...

How to Load Business Rule XML in 9.3.1

Hello,
I am using EAS 9.3.1. On the Business Rules component, I selected Export Business Rules, and it invited me to export all business rules, variables, macros, and projects into one xml file. Now I cannot figure out how to load that xml file. I am copying from a production environment to a development environment, because we moved the database of the development environment to another server. I have reconfigured the applications and databases. What do I have to do to load the xml file?
Thank you,

Thank you. I was getting the following error, and I thought it meant, I cannot expand the Business Rules icon because I did not have any business rules. If this something I configured incorrectly, or something the DBA missed?
Error logging in to Business Rules. The repository has not been configured or you are not authorized to use Business Rules.
Detail:Error creating DBConfig object. Please check if there are exceptions in the log file and if HBR is configured correctly.

Business rule migration

Gurus,
I have a question about BR migration.
It is 11.1.2.1, and I have some BRs in my planning application.
I want to migrate the BRs from one environment to another.
In order to do that, can I export business rules from the source (by right-clicking the BUSINESS RULES node in EAS) and then import them in the target environment EAS. If so, is there anyhthing specific that I need to follow, for example any file system to save it to or I can save anywhere, etc like that.
And do I need to do anything after I export-import the business rules?
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks

Thanks John for your quick response.
When you mean by dependants, what does it really imply? If you could write a little about it, it would be awesome.
Also, is there a rule as to what should be exported-imported first while we are using the LCM tool?
Thanks again.

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.

LCM Export not working for Business rules in 11.1.1.3

Hi,
I triggered an LCM export for Business rules (just 2 rules) with the admin id and its in in progress state for the past 2 hours. I don't think its making any progress as I checked the below,
1) No LCM logs created in the /hyperion/common/utilities/logs/LCM/ folder.
2) No export directories are created in the Import/Export folder.
3) No errors registered in the shared services logs.
What could be the reason for this issue?
Is there any other logs which I missed to check?
Is there a way to kill this apart from recycling the services?

This is a known issue and has to do with the http timeout settings. Usually this will happen on the 5 minute limit, but it depends what setting they have.
Take a look at this article and see if it applies:
Business Rules That Take More Than Five Minutes to Execute Are Re-launched Repeatedly [ID 755406.1]

Oracle Business Rules decision tables - export

This is a beginner's question.. Suppose that you want to use an Oracle Business Rules (OBR) decision table, for example to check company’s eligibility for financing based on their country and business type (PRIVATE or PUBLIC). You would define a corresponding decision table in JDeveloper with true/false assignments in the Actions. Is it possible to export this decision table somehow? Ideally we would want to have a web service returning the decision table data as XML, which would then be used to generate PDF or a dynamic webpage etc. Then we would have OBR as the only point of data entry.

I moved this to "SOA Suite and OC4J 11g Technology Preview"
