Opening Balances changes when running business rules

Good morning,
We are experiencing problems with the opening balance calculation (Flow: F100) when running the consolidation business rules in BPC 10.1.
For example, in 2013.12, Entity 1111 and Account C_ENL_DIV, the ending balance (Flow: F900) is 180.000 euros. When we run the copy opening balance package, the opening balance (F100) for 12.2014 is 180.000 euros, what which is correct.
The problem comes when some consolidation rules are executed, for example, AU_DIVCTA. For the previous case, we can see that the opening balance changes, previously it was 180.000 euros, coinciding with the final balance of 12.2013 and now the cell is empty, what which is incorrect. This occurs for more than one business rule.
The definition for the AU_DIVCTA business rule, is the next one. You can see that this do not affect to the opening balance in any case.
We attached an Excel where you can see this and much more similar cases the definition for the business rule AU_DIVCTA:

Hi,
Looks like the substitution variables its looking for are missing.
Can you check that?

  • Error connecting to Essbase Server when running business rules

    We recently migrated from v9.3 to v11.1.1.3. I have two users with Administrative access who need to run business rules on a native Essbase application, but cannot. They get the message 'Error connecting to Essbase Server'. They get this message when trying to set this execution database. They can't even expand the server to see the list of applications. I have tried deprovisioning them in Shared Services, refreshing security, then adding it all back in and refreshing again, but it doesn't work. My own id has identical access to that which I'm granting them, and I have no problems. I even created a native user with the same access and it works as well. No matter what I do, I cannot get these two users to be able to run their business rules in EAS.
    We also have a Planning application, and the Planning Administrative user has the same issue. However, this user is able to get around it by running rules using the Planning connection rather than the Essbase connection. She has the same issue of not seeing anything under the Essbase Servers when trying to set the execution database though.
    In version 9, we were not using Shared Services for Essbase security. Unfortunately our consultant chose to set it up using Shared Services security when migrating, and according to the documentation, one cannot go back to using Native Essbase security.
    I also tried running the Externalize Users wizard and the three users with issues failed to externalize. My own id did, and the native user I created succeeded.
    Has anyone experienced an issue like this or have any ideas on how to resolve?
    Thanks,
    Sabrina

    Follow up - Oracle has finally resolved this. It's so simple, yet no one thought to check until now. The three users with problems all have mixed case user id's in ldap. They have always logged into EAS with all lower case ids. In version 9, on native security, this was never a problem. But in version 11 using Shared Services (not sure which factor changed it), it doesn't work. The simple solution is to log in with their exact mixed case user ids. It only took Oracle three months and the creation of a bug issue to figure this out for us.

  • Network Error []: Cannot Get Host Name when running business rules

    Guru's
    We are getting the following error intermittently when we are running business rules (Planning Application >>Tools>>Business Rules) or running SmartView refreshes:
    Network error []: Cannot Get Host Name
    The following is then logged in the Essbase Application logs:
    Local/Application/Database/admin@Native Directory/Error(1042022)
    Network error []: Cannot Get Host Name.
    A quick look at the Essbase Error Messages Doc says it is a network error and we have to consult the network documentation. Unfortunately this is not very descriptive so we logged an SR with Oracle but we don't seem to be getting a resolution.
    The environment is 11.1.2.0 and the architecture is as follows:
    Server 1 - MS Server 2008 x64:
    Planning, Calc Manager, Foundation Services, Framework Web Services, EAS, APS, Web Analysis, FR Web Services
    Server 2 - MS Server 2008 x64:
    Essbase Server
    Server 3 - MS Server 2008 x64:
    Framework Services, FR Print Services
    We have tried doing the following:
    1. Put in the server host names into the hosts file on the Hyperion Servers
    2.  Applied the following TCP/IP settings on all the Hyperion Servers and one of the user machines as a test:
          - Added a new DWORD Value named TcpTimedWaitDelay and set it to 30.
         - Added a new DWORD Value named MaxUserPort and set it to 65534.
         - Added a new DWORD Value named MaxFreeTcbs and set it to 6250
    3. Confirmed that there are no packet drops by monitoring the server NICs so no packet loss could be the cause of this issue
    4. The Essbase Config file has the following settings:
    NETDELAY 2000
    NETRETRYCOUNT 2500
    Has anyone come across this issue and if you managed to resolve it, how did you go about it.
    Thanx

    Hi Rahul
    The issue is happening to a number of calcs so it it not one calc specifically. I will ask the functional consultants to enhance the logging in the business rules so that we can see if the issue happens on a specific member\block etc and yes we do use Xrefs
    We can run this as a calc in EAS without any issues and it's intermittent because this business rule runs 95% of the time in Planning Application >> Tools >>Business Rules without any issues.
    Thanks

  • Problem running business rules through forms that are 15+ mins long.

    I just upgraded to 9.3.1 from 9.0.1 and we are having some issues with our business rules. We have business rules that can run up to several hours but the status on the screen ends up timing out with a 'please see planning' log error.
    The error in the log states: Status unknown, calculation context no longer available
    I can tell every second planning is checking on the business rule but after about 15 mins it does not:[9/5/08 19:47:06:810 CDT] 000000c1 SystemOut O state in essMainCalc.getprocessstate = 1
    Even though there is an error I can look at what is running in essbase and see that the business rule is still running. When it finishes it does what it is supposed to do.
    I have tried updating HBRServer.properties to a new timeout but it does not work.
    I am really lost here, can anyone help?

    Hi,
    There are a couple of you have, you can switch business rules to start running in the background after a certain time, the status of the rules can then be checked from planning with the business rules status page
    To set this up :-
    1 Select Administration > Manage Properties.
    2 Select Application Properties to set properties and values for a Planning application.
    3 Add the property by clicking Add, entering the property in the blank row, and entering a value in Property
    Value:
    Enter HBR_MAX_WAIT_FOR_RULE and the interval in milliseconds to wait before running
    business rules in the background. If this property is not set, the feature does not work, and
    business rules do not run in the background.
    Optional: Enter HBR_MONITOR_DELAY and the interval in milliseconds for checking
    business rule status.
    The default and minimum value for both options is 180000 milliseconds (3 minutes). If you
    set a lower value, that value is ignored, and the property is set to the default value.
    4 Click Save and confirm your changes.
    Or you could try installing patch 9.3.1.1.1 or above (it is now at 9.3.1.1.7) from metalink3.
    The patch includes :- (8-665086601) When the Business Rules connection to the relational database is lost, Business Rules does not reconnect to it. To solve this problem, an optional property, HBR_CONNECTION_VALIDATE_TIME, was added to HBRServer.properties. This property specifies a time interval for checking the connection between Business Rules and the relational database. If the connection is not valid, a new connection is established
    I hope this helps

  • Error 1200323 after long hours of running business rules?

    Hi all,
    I am experiencing some problems with running business rules....
    I got a sequence which includes about 20 business rules to run....
    After several hours of running this sequence, it shows the errorcode: 1200323, which said that "Error parsing formula for [REGION DEFINITION] (line 1): expression expected after [(].
    However, worst of all, this error does not always happen. Sometimes, I could run this sequence successfully without any error happening.
    Any one experienced the same problem before?
    Any suggestion are welcome and appreciated....
    Thank you,

    Run a hardware check by holding the d key down (for a long time) when rebooting, wrtie down what it says if anything.

  • Can not run business rule with bat file

    Hi all,
    I've problem with using *.bat file to run business rule. My Essbase version is 11.1.1.3 and the syntax within
    *.bat is simple, but I always got the Usage message and can not execute the rule.
    The error result as blow(I already execute the syntax in command panel directly):
    C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\eas\console\bin>CmdLnLauncher -SWILSON -Usynadmin -P111111 -r0004_COPYDATA
    Usage: CmdLineLauncher [-p:<passwordFile>] -Sservername -Uusername [-rBusiness R
    ule Name | -sSequence Name] [-fRun Time Prompts file] [-validate]
    My *.bat file content as below:
    cd c:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\eas\console\bin
    call CmdLnLauncher -SWILSON -Usynadmin -P1111111 -r0004_COPYDATA
    Is there something wrong? If anyone know about this problem, please help,thanks!!

    Hi,
    Here is a brief overview on how to use the command line launcher.
    You can create a file and put the following information into it filling in the servername,app name and db name
    ExecDB::"Planning/servername/appname/dbname"
    Save it as .xml file (don’t think it has to be an xml, could be .txt), so something like connect.xml
    Then when you run your command line do exactly like before Cmdlnlauncher -Sservername -Uusername -p:password.txt -rrule -fconnect.xml
    If you have variables in your rule you can
    In EAS right click over the rule and select "Automate Launch Variables", fill in the details and then save it is as an xml.
    You just need to reference the xml in the batch script as described above using the -f parameter, for sequences remove -rrule and use –sSequence
    update password.txt to the name of your password file.
    Cheers

  • Running Business rules thru MAxl

    Is it possible to run business rules through Maxl. If yes how do I pass parameters to the business rule, if I am running it thru a Maxl script?
    Thanks in advance.

    What, you guys aren't using graphical business rules? :)
    I am currently working with a long time Essbase consultant who is new to Planning. He had coded his HBR as a calc script, and was ready to port it over to Planning/HBR.
    The expression on his face when he first looked at the graphical interface was priceless.
    I tried to explain about the early beginnings in HAM (Hyperion Allocation Manager), and how much better HBR is today than it was when it was graphical-only, and...I just gave up and showed him how to make it an Enhanced Calc Script.
    We are all looking forward (?) to Calc Manager.

  • Running Business Rules with global Variables in Composite Forms

    Hi,
    I am having trouble running Business Rules, that include Global Variables, in composite forms.
    I have two forms in the composite form, both have entity in Page dimension set to 'local'. one includes entities at level 3 and the other has entities at level 0. I need to pass this level 0 entity to the business rule, from the form.
    When i try to run the rule, it gives me the following error:
    "This rule cannot be launched because it has hidden rtp variables without default values "
    I get this error even when i set the default value for the global variable.
    This rule runs perfectly when run from the individual form (which is part of the composite form).
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    Known Issue: 9900514
    The Use Members on Data Form and Hide Prompt options for business rules attached to composite data forms apply only for runtime prompt values from the globally shared pages and POVs of a composite data form. In other words, this will only use members that are shared across all component data forms. If users want a business rule to take context from a single component data form, they should attach the business rule to that component data form and include the business rules for that component data form at the composite data form level (<Business rules for componentX>).
    Please let me know if this is not what we are talking about.
    Thank you,

  • Long time to open tab "change history" of  business partner in Web_ui.

    Dear experts!
    Long time to open tab "change history" of  business partner in Web_ui.
    4 records were opened for 10-20 seconds
    http://imglink.ru/show-image.php?id=22083a6a576f78c66c86863bf6b0573b
    1. In what may be the reason?
    If the records are many, the discovery may be more than a minute.
    2. Is There a report for the purification of the " Сhange history" over a period?

    Hello Dilip,
    One more alternative would be to increase the time out parameter in ABAP environment.
    The steps to change this parameter:                                                                               
    1) txn: RZ11 -> enter the variable name rdisp/max_wprun_time                      
    2) Display -> Change value -> Then input the value you would like        (ideally 3600)                                                                               
    PS:                                                                          
    1) Don't set this value too big, otherwise general performance will be       
    influenced, since lots of dialogue process will be occupied for a long       
    time                                                                         
    2) This parameter can be changed dynamically                                                                               
    Once the parameter is set please test again. You can try incremental         
    values and test which one does not give timeout error.                                                                               
    please refer to the note 25528 for more details about RZ11.   
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks and Best Regards,

  • Excel 2010 locks up when using Smartview to run Business Rule

    I've been testing Smart View 9.3..3 with Excel 2010.
    If (from within Smart View) I navigate to Hyperion>Calculation Options>Business Rules, Excel locks up and only an 'End Process' will close it down.
    As a workaround the Rule that the user needs to run has been attached to a Form & this works correctly, wondered if anyone else had seen this ?

    re:  more excel crashing
    Well you asked about other ideas so...
    1. Turn off Auto-Save
    2. Turn off file-sharing
    3. Locate the XLSTART directory, move everything there someplace else.
    4. You disabled all add-ins, but does that include Com add-ins and the other flavors.
    5. Does the user have an anti-virus app installed - disable it.

    What is your application release?
    What is the type of the report (text, postscript)?
    Is the issue with this specific report only? Can you reproduce the issue if you print to another printer?
    What if you download the output file to your desktop and print it, can you reproduce the issue then or it is when you print directly from the application only?
    Please post the details of the printer setup/style/driver.
