PIM Public API for Business rules

In Oracle PIM, Is there Public API to call the business rules (Assignment and Validation business rules) ?
If there is no Public API, what is the alternate ?

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:

Shared Services 11.1.2 + Provisioned Roles for Business Rules not reflectin

Hi,
I have provisioned users to have 'Basic' role in shared services for Business rules. We are using Calc manager + classic planning app. However users are unable to see the business rules associated with the forms due to which the rules dont run on save. Is there a intermediary step which I am overlooking?

Public API for - Power BI for Office 365

Hello,
Where could I find the Public API for - Power BI for Office 365? Is there any related documents?
Thanks,
Bob

Paul,
The APIs at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/powerbi/dn874029.aspx only
seem to work for the new Power BI and not Power BI for Office 365. Am I correct in saying this?
Can I find an API for Power BI for Office 365?

Public APIs for Adobe Central Pro Server

Hi,
Can anyone point me to the Public APIs that are available with the Adobe Central Pro Server e.g. I would want my application to dynamically add or remove steps in the job db, or change the target printer. Also, is it possible to invoke the preview functionality that comes with the Adobe Designer and integrate with an existing application
Here what we are trying to do is add the printing (template merging) facility to an existing application and would want access to the public API for these products.
Thanks in anticipation!
Regards,

I'm not sure you can do what you describe in the manner that you appear to be wanting to do it. I know of no APIs that are provided. There are ways to get the job done, though. The job management data base is an ascii text file that can easily be changed programatically. Parts of our application use it for building a drop-down list of printers for the user to select from. Changing it doesn't automatically cause Central to use the new file. Central must be told to reload it before it will be using the modified file. This can be done by placing a certain "command" file in Central's control folder, but it would not run until after the current job completes - if the current job is the one that just changed the file and further steps of the same job are for the processing of the data, then that would be too late. Once a job starts, all the parameters and tasks from the job management database and on the original ^job statement is what will be used. This goes for changing anything about the job, whether it be adding/deleting steps, changing the printer, or any other parameters. We accomplish pretty much what you want by doing several things. *First, we define all of the various configurations of jobs that we need. For example, our main printing job has four tasks; it is not uncommon to need to restart a job someplace besides the first task. Therefore, we have four different jobs defined, each one starting further down the list of tasks. We do the same thing when the processing of the data has to vary in some manner - we have jobs pre-defined for each specific set of tasks and the source of the data sets the ^job name as required for the specific tasks that have to be done. *For modifying the printer, we use the -z<printer> and -asp<driver> parameters on the ^job statement and the source of the file sets the values as necessary. The source of the file will also set the job name so that the desired job is ran. *We also have built into our custom agents the capability to recognize when a "soft" failure is occurring (such as can't reach our database) and it will put the job back in for processing after changing the job name to run the correct job for restarting at the proper step. *One of our steps is to check a control file to see if there is a redirection for the specified printer to a substitute printer (say, the original printer is down for maintenance). This agent will put the job back in for processing, changing not only the job name but the printer parameters. It has to be put back in, instead of just changing the parameters and passing the file on to JFMERGE, because Central uses the parameters on the original ^job line, it doesn't use the parameters that might be on the ^job line when JFMERGE starts. *We have also created our own agent for running as the JFERROR task. This task runs when one of the agents supplied with Central encounter a failure. Our agent analyzes the failure and determines if it was "hard" or "soft". If it was a "soft" failure, this agent requeues the job, changing the name and parameters as necessary. So far we have been unable to determine how to get our VB6 agents to set the ErrorLevel to notify Central that the agent failed (we came up with a workaround instead of spending a lot of time trying to get the ErrorLevel to work). This is necessary to prevent Central's agents from processing when a predicessor custom agent fails. Since we couldn't set the ErrorLevel, we just set up all of our agents to always create an output file for input to the next task. When one of our agents fail, it only outputs a modified ^job line with no following data. This modified ^job line is recognized by our custom agents as an indication that a failure is in process so it skips any processing except to pass the file to the next task. Since there is no data or form commands in the file, once it gets to JFMERGE, it just terminates without producing any output or error condition. Previewing is accomplished by running the JFPVMRG agent to create a PDF and then JFPVSEND to send it to the originating IP# for receipt by the View Manager which will then load it into Adobe Reader. At this point, the job running on Central will be finished - it could have produced hard-copy output or not depending on its design. Once the user receives the PDF, they can do whatever they want with it (save, print, etc). We use the above capability for our users to view an "archive" image of forms, after it has been processed normally. I know of others that use it to create the PDF as part of the normal processing, allowing the user to then print from Adobe Reader it if they wish. What we do is to drop a DAT file into Central's input folder that runs the above two agents. Our application that is running on the user's PC then watches for Adobe Reader to load and when it does it forces it to be the top-most task (we do this because we have a problem that it will often open behind other windows).

Is this 11.1.2.1 by any chance?
We had this as well, but resolved the issue with this KB:
Error: "Error connecting to Essbase server EssbaseCluster-1" When Trying to Connect Business Rules to Essbase [ID 1328483.1]
 Modified 25-JUL-2011 Type PROBLEM Status PUBLISHED
In this Document
Symptoms
Cause
Solution
References
Applies to:
Hyperion Essbase - Version: 11.1.2.1.000 and later [Release: 11.1 and later ]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
in version 11.1.2.1, after switching Essbase from using host name to a cluster name, in Essbase Administration Services (EAS) it is no longer possible to navigate lower than "EssbaseCluster-1" in the tree of Locations in Business Rules. The following error occurs:
"Error connecting to Essbase server EssbaseCluster-1".
This happens with both pre-existing and new business rules.
Cause
This issue has been identified as unpublished BUG 11783671 - Unable To Select Outline For Essbase Rule If Essbase Cluster1 Is The Server
Solution
The current workaround is:
1. Search for the file named 'essbase.properties' under %EAS_HOME%. Note that normally on a windows setup %EAS_HOME% points to the following path:
":\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\eas"
If it does not exist, create a blank text file and name it 'essbase.properties' and place it under %EAS_HOME%\server\bin
2. Open it in notepad and add the following setting to the beginning of the file:
aps.resolver.urls=http://<APSSEVERNAME>:APSPORT/aps
e.g aps.resolver.urls=http://server1:13080/aps
NOTE: The line is case sensitive
3. Save the file and restart the EAS server.

Best practice for business rules

Our business rules have
Fix ( [Cost Center] )
to extract the user's Cost Center from his form so that it runs faster.
What is the best practice for running that same Business Rule but for all Cost Center? Will it be to put that Business Rule in a menu somewhere and let it prompt users to manually type "Cost Center" so that the Business Rule processes all cost centers ?
Thanks.
David

You can try this way: create your primary business rule with FIX(@RELATIVE(VarCostCenter,0)), where VarCostCenter is a run time promt. Then you could easily use it to calculate only current member on ther form (fix will give you only 1 member).
Then you create a new sequence and add there your business rule, go to "Launch Variables" tab, find promt for Cost Center, set it to "Total Cost Centers" and click hide. So basically now you have a copy of the primary rule but it runs for all cost centers automatically.
So using this technique you will have to maintain only one business rule!

Does EAS needs to running for Business Rule Migration

We are having issues with EAS server in one of the env, so it is offline. The user wants to access BR from that env, so EAS server needs to be running for migrating those BR using LCM or LCM would connect with the Database repository for the migration.

I posted a script years ago that I put together which has been used a few times over.
You can see the thread at: Exporting Hyperion Business Rules as Text files
This would require the relational server is up and running. I have used it against many versions of the repository. You may want to look at the writeln code and make sure you have it set to do ascii vs unicode as I think I set it to UTF-8 in original scripts.

HI John: Advise for Business Rule or Calc Script

Hi John,
I need your Advice regarding Business Rule as earlier i took all ur advice seriously and also succeeded; This is toughest area for me.
1) Any useful document which help me to understand Business Rule apart from HBR admin pdf ?
1) Any Blog/Source/PDF/PPT especially for Planning Business Rule ?
Thanks for any Help.
Regards
N Kumar

Hi,
Well business rules are really just calc scripts with a few additional features.
So to understand business rules a good place to start is looking at calc script functions and commands, the essbase technical reference includes details on all this :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/techref.htm
If you get stuck on calc scripts then the essbase forum is also a good place to ask for advice as there are many experts on there.
I have not seen many sources for information relating to just business rules.
Cheers

How to increase the max connections for business rules.

How and where to increase the connection to EAS.currently we have max connection as 20.Also please let me know,what is the maximum connection we can increase.
In our system totally,we have 350 users are present.
when more that 20 users running the business rule,EAS is stopped.

You can find this in the application property section in planning. Just navigate to Manage Properties and update the JDBC max connections and JDBC Olap connections to your desired number.

Security for Business Rules on Planning Menus

We recently upgraded to 11.1.2.3.500. Planning is patched to 11.1.2.3.501. We have right-click menus that are used on our data forms to launch business rules. We are finding that users without access to the business rules are able to see the rules on the menu and run them successfully from the right-click menu.
When the user goes to Tools > Business Rules and clicks "Display only launchable rules, rulesets, and calc scripts", it shows no rules listed, yet when they use the right-click menu, they can see the items from the menu that are associated with a rule, and use that item to run the rule. If you go to Tools > Job Console, you can see the rule as executed under the user's name.
In our old version, 11.1.2.1, if the user did not have access to the business rule, then the item would not show on the menu and therefore they couldn't run the rule.
Is this a known bug in the 11.1.2.3.500? Any ways to resolve or workaround this?
Thanks in advance!

Have you had a look at the planning 502 patch to see if this has been resolved, sometimes the bugs addressed in the patch are quite cryptic so it is worth trying the patch out anyway, if you have not already it is probably worth logging with Oracle.
Cheers
John

Public API for contract group change

Hi,
Does anyone know of a public API to change contract grouping? The only one I found is a private API: OKC_CGC_PVT.update_row.
TIA,
Alka.

Thanks Nagamohan. I did look at the package, but did not notice "update_contract_grpngs" procedure in it.....need to pay more attention :-)

Public URL for Business Object servers

What is preferred method to access BO by external clients?
Here is our setup, 2 tomcat servers, 2 BO servers and F5 for load balancing
I am thinking to put 2 tomcat servers in DMZ and open up the ports for BO servers in the firewall.
I would like to know what all the options you guys have in your environments.

Dennis,
Since we have clustered BO servers (2 node), for example, one CMS in each server, do we need to open one port in the firewall which is 6400 and assign that port to both the CMS or we need to assign different ports for each CMS, like 6400 for 1st CMS and 6411 for 2nd CMS?
