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.
Here is the xml for 1 rule that won't import:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <HBRObjects>
- <Rules>
- <Rule>
<property class="java.lang.String" method="setBody" value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

  • Proper way to Migrate Business rules

    Hi all.
    I have a question about migrating business rules from DEV to PROD with 2 seperate Shared Services instance
    I usually do an Import / Export of BR using EAS and then manually setup the projects and security. While this way seems working ok. I wonder if there is a more official way to do this.
    I've seem a Migrate Repository option but am unsure what that suppose to do. I have a feeling that it's not quite what I am looking for. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    The two methods are pretty much the same in what they do.
    When you export rules it creates an xml file based on the selection you have picked, you can just log into EAS and do this you don't have knowledge about the repository, it is also useful for migrating across versions. You also have the option of changing the xml file before importing it into your target.
    When you migrate the respository you have to physically connect to the database repository and have knowledge of the connection details, it is probably aimed directly at a system admin.
    The options in both methods are pretty much the same, you can choose what you want to export or migrate.
    You hit issues when you export/migrate for instance the location names change and need to be updated, you can update the xml file to change the locations though if you choose the migrate option you won't have that ability.
    The next issue is the user/group accounts which is the biggest flaw, if the users/groups exist on the target and have the exact same SID then they will migrate otherwise they will usually get dropped.
    Cheers

  • How to Migrate Business rules along with access privileges

    Hi All,
    I migrated business rules from prod to dev using lcm. The business rules got migrated correctly, but the access privileges did not. I tried exporting from EAS and import. Even then the access privileges were not migrated.How do we migrate business rules along with access privileges? Quick help is much appreciated.
    We are on hyp. planning 11.1.1.3. and we use classic planning applications.
    Thanks
    Lakshmi

    If they are native users/groups then it may be down to the ID for the users/groups being different across environments, this has always been a problem with business rules, with planning applications then there is the updateusers utility to sync up the ID with shared services.
    Cheers

  • Error in migrating business rules

    Hi,
    We are moving from Dev to QA. In order to migrate business rules, i exported all the rules,global variables and macros by unchecking the calc manager option. Now i replaced all the occurences of my old server name in the xml file with the new server name. Now when i try to open the business rule i get "java.lang.nullpointerexception". Is this any installation issue or i have dont migration wrongly? And i am not able to associate with the outline since i get this error.
    What could be the solution?
    Regards,
    Ragav.

    Have to clicked on the dependents while exporting the rules?
    and anyways you can copy and paste the rules from one server to another.
    Suggestion:
    Copy export a rule first, make proper changes and import that rule, rather then going for bulk.
    If ur on system 11 use LCM.

  • Migrate Business Rules by generating XML

    Hi BRF plus experts,
    for a project I am currently assigned to I am trying to find an easy way to convert business rules from a legacy systen into BRF Plus v7.
    Using XML export functionality and a few simple decision tables and rules the XML structure of exported expression is clear to me. Using the legacy system I can create an Excel extract with contains the required rules characteristics. Due to the large amount of rules (600+) and the fact that the rules as part of the migration are being cleansed I am looking for an automated way of generating an XML file containing the required rules and then import these.
    Using VBA is not too difficult to generate the correct XML structure and data.
    A problem I am facing however is to understand the identifiers, for example
    <FDTNS:APPLICATION_ID>4AA45F9249F46590E10000000A71030D</FDTNS:APPLICATION_ID>
    <FDTNS:ID>4BE03E7AEBD93E36E10000000A71030D</FDTNS:ID>
    <FDTNS:EXPRESSION_TYPE_ID>0000EEEE001000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF</FDTNS:EXPRESSION_TYPE_ID>
    <FDTNS:RESULT_DATA_OBJECT>4AA8B5FD8800276EE10000000A71030D</FDTNS:RESULT_DATA_OBJECT>
    Can somebody provide an explanation on the structure of these ID's? I am assuming there must be a type identifier and some kind of counter included.
    Many thx for some support on this.
    Regards
    Edde Voorheijen

    Hi Edde,
    what version of BRFplus are you planning to use? I only can assume that "v7" refers to NW 7.0. But the important point here is the Enhancement Package you are on.
    I would do it in the following way:
    1. Create an XML or cvs file with a well defined structure.
    2. Create an ABAP report to upload and convert the data into ABAP (there is lots of reuse available).
    3. Create the rules with the BRFplus ABAP API (see package SFDT_DEMO_OBJECTS). Therefore you first should model some parts to:
    - understand how the rules could look like in BRFplus
    - create some parts like function and data objects that you do not need to create by API but just use
    The large volume indicates that you need to use BRFplus in NW 7.0 EhP 2. There you also find a big variety of options in the ruleset that will make the upload easy.
    The ID is a technical ID that is generated. Actually it is a UUID.
    BR,
    Carsten

  • How to migrate business rule

    i want to crate a business rule to aggregate data from level 0 to parent level for one partcula data form^^^These are oldies but goodies:

    http://camerons-blog-for-essbase-hackers.blogspot.com/2009/06/why-i-hate-and-love-business-rules-part_17.html
    Cost per Unit = Total Revenue/Unit^^^Are you asking if it makes sense to calculate this ratio at all levels of the database or only at the top level? If you mean that it only makes sense at level zero, you could use a FIX statement to select all level zero members and then perform the calculation. Based on the formula, I would think you could get away with a dynamically calculated member formula, assuming Total Revenue is dynamically calculated as well. Generally, level zero calcs in a business rule are only required if there's a percentage involved; if the formula is valid at aggregated levels, make it dynamic unless reporting performance (I have seen dense formulas that go across many, many blocks -- bad idea) falls off a cliff.

  • Error while migrating business rules

    While trying to use the export/import option in EAS to migrate business rules, we have run into an error.
    The export itself is fine. When trying to import, it says this:(even though it lets me select the proper xml file for importing)
    Error while migrating business rules.
    Detail: The import file specified is not a valid business rules xml file. Import will be terminated.
    Detail:Exception occured. Please check your log file for details.
    I am pretty sure I used the inherent format specified for exporting the business rules.
    Both the old and new systems are version 11.1.2.
    The LCM method also failed for the business rules migration.
    Any suggetions?
    Thanks,
    Sujani

    When you export them make sure you don't have "For Calc Mgr" checked, if you do then the import with fail.

  • 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:

    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?

  • 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.

    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.

  • Trouble Creating Business rules from EAS

  • 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)?

  • 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.
