Hyperion Workforce Planning - Rules migrated in LCM not showing in Calc Mgr

1-Having trouble with workforce rules (as well as capex and rulesets) that are not showing up in calc manager (in system view) in our QA environment after I migrate them from Dev. New rules were created by a consultant we had in dev and on migrating them forward (along with the new forms), they are not appearing in Calc Manager (in system view). However, I am able to select them when editing forms as part of the loading/save configuration in execution of forms. Anyone have any input on why this might be happening and how we can go about getting these to show up in Calc manager?
I have checked to ensure that they were deployed in Dev in case that rolls forward. Another odd item I'm noticing is while Calc Manager will reflect the most recent revised date in Dev of rules I've updated, it is reflecting an older date to that of when it was last edited/created by the consultant we had. I am beginning to think this is the root cause of the problems as Shared Services not getting updated properly to perform the migration.
2-Also, I've come across a problem where I had an old version of a rule in QA that did not want to accept the new version I was copying forward from Dev. The system has indicated to other admins that I have it locked (presumably after the LCM) while I am not accessing it (and it gives me no such indication). When looking in calc manager, QA had the old version revision and last modified info, while Dev had revised info (and the LCM file as well). Have tried restarting Planning services to unlock it, but to no avail. Any input on how to unlock a rule that you are not currently in (my first assumption is something similar to unlocking locked objects out of EAS, but nothing there to work with).
In attempt to bypass this problem, I tried deleting the old rule out of QA and copying back in the revised version from Dev. This removed it from calc manager, but the form appears to still be using the old rule (I've tried removing the reference and then reapplying it with no positive results). To solve my short term problem, I've created a copy of the rule under a different name and copied it forward, but any tips would be great in case I come across this problem in the future (and so I might be able to remove this locked rule that serves no purpose).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, I may need to go with a ticket to Oracle, but hoping these are common issues that someone else has come across.
FYI - Currently on 11.1.2.1.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Thanks for the tip.
I have tried a direct import/export in Calc Manager and have been able to move rules successfully. However, we have built a lot of our rules using the Rule Designer and on direct import, I seem to lose the layout and the script merges into one. As a short terms means to fix this, I've done the good old fashion copy and paste to create the new rules in QA.
In Shared Services, we are using the Define Migration function to extract what I need from Dev and then manually copying the files over to our QA server to import via the same in Shared Services (\\servername\c$\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem_qa\import_export\username@MSAD). I know that's a bit vague, but am I missing anything there?
I apologize if my queries are not clear. This is all new for us as we are in the process of transitioning from a internally developed relational/essbase planning application to Hyperion Planning while we also recently transitioned from using essbase 7.1.6 to 11.1.2.1 (clean install so no migration issues).
Thanks again for the information.

Hyperion Workforce Planning - 100K employees - 11.1.2.2

Hi to all,
I am facing quite a challenge on this one. My clients requirements for a budget/simulation employee application is to load all existing employees into Hyperion workforce Planning.
I know it sound odd loading all the 100K employees from Peoplesoft, I finished installing Workforce, next step is to start stress testing by loading 10K employees,20K etc.
Any of you has similar experiences with large employee numbers? Any Issues with the existing employees forms?
Please share your thoughts.
Regards to All
yannis

If it is the default admin account then there shouldn't be a problem because the native SID should stay the same.
If it is a different native admin account then this will change and you would have to update it in the HSP_USERS table.
Sometimes it is easier to log into planning on the source environment, update the application owner to be admin, create an application on your target environment with admin, then migrate.
Once the migration has finished you can always change the application owner to another admin account.
Cheers

Hyperion Workforce planning Vs HRMS

Can someone tell me what are the major advantages of Hyperion Workforce Planning module over Oracle HRMS?
Waiting for expert suggestions! Thanks in advance.
- Vishnu

Hi,
For creating Employee dimension and associating the attributes like Race, Gender etc to the employee.
Step 1 :First create the attribute dimension with the members in the planning application for Race, gender etc and associate them to Employee Dimension.
step 2: Create the .csv for the 1000 employee to load that in the planning application.
That file will have all the columns like
Example:
Parent, Employee, Alias: Default, Data Storage, Aggregation (Wrkforce), Attribute.
"Existing Employee",XYZ,XYZ,Store,+,Male.
Use the Outline Load utility to load the Employees under Parent "Existing Employees". This way you can load the metadata for
your Employee dimension and also your attribute will be associated at the same time. Once your dimension or metadata for employee gets loaded,
you can then load the data corresponding to the Employees.
Hope you understand...
Thanks,
Sourabh

Planning EPMA migration using LCM

Hi Experts,
Kindly advice how can we migrate EPMA Planning data?
As per document:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_lifecycle_management/frameset.htm?ch07s04s03.html
>
Planning data migration is not supported in Lifecycle Management.Does it different if we use Essbase Data migration using LCM under essbase Node?
Ver: 11.1.2 (EPMA Plannning)
Regards
Kumar

Hi Alp,
Thanks for the help.
It means I should fallow
Step 1: Migrate security and all artifacts of EPMA Planning using LCM except Planning Data - OK
Step 2: Export/Import Essbase data using EAS/Maxl Script – seems OK
Q1: we have option of essbase data under essbase node while migrate essbase application/Database using LCM, Why can't we just migrate Planning data using LCM itself?
Regards
Kumar

Planned values of profit centers not showing up in customised report painte

Hi,
I made a customised profit center report via report painter. I have already uploaded planned values in KP06. In the customised report painter, the record type is "1" (plan) and version is "0" for actual/plan. The columns for the planned values do not show any figures. But when I generate std SAP report S_ALR_87013340 - Profit Center Group: Plan/Actual/Variance, it shows the plan values. In that way, I know that the cost center upload is correct.
Please advise on how to show the plan values on the report painter.
Thanks and best regards,
Thess

Hi,
ahhh...the fact that you can see the actual values has made me realize what the problem might be. GLPCP and GLPCA (actual line items) use different fields in regard to the period. I assume that you are utilizing the POPER characteristic to select the periods....correct?
In that case please try the following: copy library 8A3 into the customer name space (I would always base customized reports on your own library). In your copy activate the RPMAX characteristic. The re-create your report based on the new library and make the following changes: use RPMAX in the general selection and only use POPER in the column definition for the actual values. That should work.
Regards
Karl
P.S....hope you bear in mind that such a report is a potential performance nightmare.

Oracle Rules: Adding Java Facts - not showing up in list.

I am having trouble with adding my own Java classes to the Java Facts. I find the class in the list of classes, tick it, and hit "Ok". When I come back to the list of Java Facts, the class has not been added to the list. And no error message is displayed.
I am able to add default classes under packages java, javax and org.
My Java-classes are located here: ...\MyProject\SCA-INF\classes\packageName
The .rules-file is located here: ...\MyProject\oracle\rules\packageName
What can be the reason for this?

I just had a similar issue and I ended having to manually clean up the registry to get Java working again.
I just got a new computer at work and it had Java 7 installed but it turns out an app we need to use at work doesn't work with Java 7, only Java 6.
I uninstalled Java 7 and installed Java 6 but Firefox was not showing the Java plugin as installed. I tried all sorts of things, including uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and none of it worked. Finally I again uninstalled Java and then I searched for "Java" in the registry and found TONS of entries still in there for Java, including for Java 7. I manually deleted all the entries (WARNING: this is extremely risky) rebooted, then installed Java 6 and now it's working fine.
I really hate it when uninstallers leave stuff behind. It just makes a mess.

Planned Values uploaded in KP06 not showing on GL Reports

I have uploaded the budget but now I can't see the values in the Planned values Column in SAP. I have checked OKEQ and see that for 2012 and the planning version that everything is working. I checked the previous fiscal year and it show fine there. Any other ideas why this wont show up on the report? It ias the same report we used last year of course changing the dates. Please le me now.
Thanks,

Yes I have tried that report. So I should have put in my original post that I see the values have uploaded and that cost center report shows the planned values. It is one of the custom (Z) reports from report painter that I can't see the values in. The strange thing is last years values are showing but for this fiscal year it is not. In OKEQ I have the fiscal year added and I have "Integrated Planning" checked.

Test plan on Visual Studio Online not showing

If i go to the test hub area i get a
"If you are a Basic user and no test plans have been created yet, you will see this page because there are no tests for you to run."
And i cant add any test. I've try to add on the backlog but they are no showing on the test hub.
I've backlogs and tasks, so what i'm i missing?
Thanks
R

Hi ElasticoPT,
I'd like to know what you have added on the backlog page. If you want to run test cases on team web access via Test hub, then you have to own test plans which include test suites and test cases.
From the prompted message, you don't have tests to run. You have to create test plans, then test suites under test palns, and the test cases for each test suite in Test hub.

Oracle Rule Author admin pages not showing up

I installed the Oracle, Oracle application server and Oracle SOA Suite and was going through the SOA Order booking application but am currently stuck on the Rule Author. I bring up the admin page:
http://localhost:8888/ruleauthor
I log in and it displays a blank page.
Anyone have an idea what is going on?

I haven't seen this before. Could you provide some details on what options you installed SOA with and what browser you are using?

Migration using LCM

Hi,
I need to make a copy of the existing application on the same server. I've done the following.
1)Right click on the application in app library and duplicte -> new name.
2)Deployed the application giving a new DSN
3)On shared services, LCM, migrated all the artifacts into a file and imported them back into the new application.
Now, the NEW application doesnt have the rule/rule sets in it. It has the calc scripts but not the BR's. I tried many times but couldnt get the problem.
Please help!

Need Guideline in Workforce Planning

Hello All,
I am working on project, where I have to create data forms in workforce planning. I also am reading Oracle Hyperion workforce planning Administrator Guide. My question is can some one help or guide me to create my plan types?
I can create dimensions by Navigating > Administration > Dimensions > Add Dimensions
I can create Data Forms by Navigating > Administration > Managing Data Forms > Create
I have confusion about under given questions....
1- As I know there are pre-build data forms ..so how can we modify and use them for loading data? I can understand we can load data by DIM or Outline load Utility but how can we load data manually?
2- What is relationship between Dimension and Data Forms which I have mentioned up there? If I create Dimensions then we can work or Data Forms or is there any other philosophy?
3- How to increase rows, and columns in those data forms and what will be the Fields for HR?
I have been told to create two dimensions i.e. Employees and Positions. I can create those Dimensions as I mentioned above steps but what kind of parents and child i need to put and how can i load those dimensions in to Workforce Data Forms.
I hope to hear positive reply..
Thank you very much in Advance for helping me to understand this workforce.....I am really new in to workforce please help...

Issues in Workforce Planning

Dear Friends,
I am facing following isues in workforce planning.
1) I am not able to assign team maintained at WBSE level in assigned activities.Though the manpower maintained at Work Center is easily asigned.
2) The capacity requirement for activity as well as resource in not getting distributed, though I am using Distribution key to distribute work equally both at activity & work center level.
3) Last, once a resource has been assigned to a particular activity for a particular period, the system is still allowing allotment of same resorces to other activities during same period.
Please provide your valuable inputs.
Regards,
Seemant

Thanks for response.
We are maintaining WBSE team for the same WB SE to which network activity is assigned. The requirement for having a team at WBSE as well as Work Centre arises because, as per the business scenario the project may utilize resources other than that on Work Centre.
I have done all required settings & marked all relevant indicators.
Yes in I am using SAP020 Distribution Key.
For the third point that I mentioned (that you say to be standard system behaviour) I would explain again.
Once I have loaded a particular resource with work form a particular project, logically the system shall block that resource for that particular time frame (within which it is loaded). Are you saying this is standard system behaviour?
Thanks,
Seemant

How to understand Workforce planning

Hi,
I'm going to implement Hyperion Workforce planning 11.1.2 (out of the box). Is there any document explains workforce planning account members in a simple way.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Jake
Actually I've taken a look about WFP admin guide but it doesn't explain account members. I hope if there is any other document to explain more in a simple way for beginners.
cheers,
