Hyperion bussiness rules

Hi,
Is there a way we can migrate Hyperion business 9.3.1 rules,projects and sequences from one server to another easily.
For eg production to test synchronize.
Thanks

As you asked a question on migrating business rules and not a planning application I will try and answer your question.
In EAS if you right click business rules, you will see that you can import/export them, you will be able to select rules/projects etc.
When you export it will create an XML file, to import you right click,import and select the XML.
There are some pitfalls to watch out for, the location will be hardcoded in the XML, this obviously changes between servers and you might need to update the XML.
The same also applies for native security as this can differ between servers.
Cheers

Hyperion Business Rules cannot connect to Hyperion Planning

I've deployed these applications into one machine server:
- Hyperion Essbase 7.1.3
- Hyperion Planning 4.0.1 (including Hyperion Business Rules)
- Essbase Administration Services 7.1.3
Everything runs well except that Hyperion Business Rules cannot connect to the Hyperion Planning as described in some error lines below:
Can not login to Planning Application because no token.

Anyone knows how to handle this error?
Mr. Goodwin?

Hi,
Have they ever worked ?
Have you followed the golden rule, start RMI, EAS, Planning, Log into planning application through the web, Open EAS, create bus rule, select outline of the planning application you logged in.
Also it is definitely checking out document ID 763345.1 in metalink3 (My Oracle Support)

Sharing information between Hyperion Business Rules

I am trying to share information between two Hyperion Business rules in EAS console.
Suppose for example , I calculated a value and stored in local variable in one Business Rule.
I would like to have this information in another business rule.
Any idea about the possiblities.?
I tried to use Global Variables in EAS but the Global variables are fixed and cannot be changed.
Thanks ,
Rajan

Can you make a HBR local variable the target of a value? Doesn't that local variable have to resolve to a member in an Essbase database sooner or later if it's going to receive a data value from a formula?
Or did you create a local variable as Real and then used that as the target? Maybe that would do it? (Obviously I've never done this.)
Could you create a temporary place in the database to stick it and then delete it?
Something like:
1) Local variable = some kind of formula/calc
2) No Account->No Product->No Scenario->whatever = Local Variable value. The point is an unused member that will let you set a value without overwriting permanent numbers. That shouldn't be too hard to find in a Planning app.
3) In HBR #2, go after that member combination and number from #2, stick it into a local variable, and set that location in #2 to #Missing.
Kind of painful, but it shouldn't really be that tough. You will need to make sure you create the block in #2.

View Message with ADFBC Bussiness Rules

Hi,
I am working with SOA ADFBC and Bussiness Rules and I developed the example set by oracle but I need to know how to display the message contained in my Class Message_Action on my website.
Thanks for your help.

Hi vicente
¿¿Mi first question is: when I have to call this .lgf???
You call it when if you need to run it! as simple as that!
¿¿¿is automaticlly invocated when datas are sent to the server and when I execute "Data Manager package " such as I see in the manual?????
It can be called automatically if you put it in the default logic
OR
You can call it "manually" in running a data manager package
"what is Data Manager package "??
simple answer: A data manager package is used to call logics.
(you can tweak it in going into excel in Edata > organize package list) I think i wrote a post how to do this...
By default there are many packages running ligics thats "clears data", "copy data", move data"....
What is the business rules library? ( I have a vocabulary problem
I can use MDX or SQL to script logic???? for what??? script logic are not the fields which call files.lgf????
Yes you can use MDX or SQL logic. Even is MDX not advised.
You can do many data transformation with this!
script logics are stored as LGF files in the system and then turn (when validated) in LGX. Do a search on yoru server to look for those files... but dont touch them if you dont know what they mean...
Hope this helps

Hyperion Business Rules Error

Good day!
I have an error every time I validate the business rules in essbase.
This is the error when I validate the Business rules :

Sorry for the long log message.
I am using the admin user. Is there a possibility that the admin has no privilege for the business rule? (Which is unusual because it should have all the privileges).
Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance.

I think you have to give access even to the admin user to validate/run a business rule
try giving access to that rule and then validate

Exporting Hyperion Business Rules as Text files

Hyperion 9.3.1 installtion...
Does anyone have any nifty scripts or techniques for getting the HBR code out into flat files (ideally named as the Rule)...
I Know you can export via AAS, but all I want is the raw code so I can use some differencing tools on them.
Basically I've rules being changed in Prod, and Dev, and need to manage the situation.
Using the individual export option is painfully slow with 100+ rules.
Surely there is a way to query the [dbo].*AAS.HBRRules* table feild '*Body*' which is of type 'Image' and convert it into ASCII ?
Anyone done such a thing? or automated the export facility?
Cheers,
BossHogg.

Here is my variant on it.
It differs in that it accepts command line parameters for SQLServer, Output Dir (defaults to {Desktop}\Rules) & DBName (defaults to AAS). It also has header size changed to 201 which works here. Finaly some of the EOF checks have been fixed as the original posting seems to have lost the 'not equals' characters...
I Save this as HBRulesExport.vbs the execute it via a batch script twice using 'start /w ....' to export Dev & Prod to two seperate dirs for comparison.

Hyperion Business Rule Error: Cannot retrieve connected root element for

Hi,
I am trying to open a business rule in EAS and I am recieving the following error: Cannot retrieve connected root element for Planning/Servername/Application/Database.
I am able to connect to the application via Planning Web, but I am recieving this message when I am trying to open the business rule in eas.
hoping if someone has come across this issue before and has been able to successfully fix it.

Hi,
I have 2 BRs, one is with RTP and another without RTP (basically a clacscript as BR).
I don't have any issue with the BR without RTP.
When I try to validate BR withRTP, validation is failing with

Hyperion Business rules

HI All,
The scenario is such that I have two set of data forms.
One is for monthly level budgeting and the other set of forms is for Yearly budgeting data.
Now, when I punch the data into the Yearly values, it has to evenly distributed into the monthly forms.
Ex: When I punch 120 in FY11, then it has to be divided by 12 and set 10 for Jan, 10 for Feb and so on and so forth.
Thanks All

This is the default behaviour of Hyperion Planning distribution. You should enable distribution in the form design and place the period dimension as Ilevel0descendants(YearTotal) to column. If you have already set even distribution (not 4-4-5 or 4-5-4) then the data you input on YearTotal gets distributed to months evenly. Therefore you wouldn't need to write a business rule for this.
Cheers,
Alp

Oracle Bussiness rules - Can we download and use rule engine independently

Hello ,
I have seen and used oracle business rules with SOA and BPM projects , but recently one of the client requested to see if we can download and use oracle rules engine independently .
Does anyone have any idea if it possible ? Have checked oracle downloads and it says OBR 11g is part of SOA or BPM suite .
Thanks in advance
Rupesh

Thanks for the reply Arun .
So just to reconfirm if a client wants to use Oracle Business rules they would need to buy license either of SOA suite or BPM suite ?

Hyperion Business Rules and Essbase

I have an allocation business rule that uses the DATACOPY command to copy data from one cost center to another. I would now like to have the sum of 2 cost centers copied into the allocation cost center. In an Essbase calc script, I accomplished this by FIXing on some dimensions and then:
DATACOPY cc1 TO alloc_cc;
alloc_cc = alloc_cc + cc2
This works fine in a calc script, but the business rule does not like the "alloc_cc = alloc_cc + cc2" line. How do I accomplish this task in a business rule?
Thanks.
Terri T.

when I validate, I get this message.
Detail:Cannot calculate. Essbase Error(1200354): Error compiling formula for [alloc_cc] (line 13): expected type [NUMBER] found [STRING] (["CC2"]) in function []

Hyperion Business Rules - Updating to use New Member in Essbase Outline

We have a business rule that needs updated to include a new cost center.
"Allocated Account" = ("Account 1"->CC1->Product->Project->"Channel 1" + "Account 1"->CC2->Product->Project->"Channel 1") / ("Account 5"->CC_3->Product->Project->"Channel 1" + "Account 5"->CC_4->Product->Project->"Channel 1");
CC2 is a cost center that we just added to the Essbase outline and does not have data yet. When I try to validate the business rule, I get an error:
Cannot calculate. Essbase Error(1200497): Error compiling formula for [Allocated Account] (line 33): unknown member name [CC2] in function ...
I am new to business rules and have no clue why it doesn't like the new cost center.
Thanks.
Terri T.

Yes, I can find the member name in the outline. I don't understand what you mean by "refreshing" the outline. I have saved the outline.

Can not run the Business rules with Hyperion Business Rules Desinger

I created a business rules with Business Rules Designer,and validate is ok, but when I run it, pop a blank window withtitle "Run Error", how to solve it ? Thanks

I would export the rule to essbase and test it there. I should run and the log will tell you something. I would also look at the business rules log to see what it says.
