Planning Rule (Calc Manager) Names Disappearing

I have deployed several rules to Planning but after sometime, the rule names no longer show in Planning. I have yet to determine the sequence of events that cause the rule names to disappear but this is the 3rd time it has happened. Is this a known bug/fix or is there a sequence of events to avoid? I am using 11.1.1.3 with an Oracle DB. Your help is GREATLY appreciated.

Yes, this is a known bug and we faced this issue many times and it is not yet resolved. We were asked to apply 11.1.1.3.01 patch, then .02 and .03 patch. We did not see this issue re-occuring for some time and thought that the patch fixed it. Then it showed again yesterday and Oracle suggests that we have to apply .04 patch and this will nail the issue. We are yet to test it.
One of the workaround to get back the rules is
1. In deployment view of Calc Manager, de-select ALL rules from ALL plan types and do a deploy at the application level (very important at application level).
2. Make sure in Planning that all the rules are gone.
3. Then redeploy these rules again.

Business Rule calc manager issue while executing through Planning Smartview

Hi,
I am working on Hyperion Planning 11.1.2 and I have created few business rule in Calc manager. When user is opening it through Hyperion Planning webforms its working fine.
I have attached the rules on webform and they run on Save and use member on data form and Hide prompts.
All these properties are checked. So user enter the number on Planning webform and hit on save rule will cruch on the POV members.
Please help me on below 2 issues:
1.When user is using the Smartview Planning and opening webform in Smartview while exceuting the rule its throwing error. Can't run the rule.
What is the exact provsiong I need to give so that they can execute it from the Hyperion Smartview Planning also.
Currently HBRAPP is Interactive user
and Application level is Interactive user and Essbase write access
If I am giving Administrator access they are bale to run the rule, I can't give Administartor acess.
2.While running rule even with admin access its not taking the POV, its taking the default mebers which I have given while creating the variables.
However from Planning web it takes the POV selection of webform,
Please suggest why the same thing is not happening from Hyperion Smartview.
Thanks in advance
Pankaj

Please advise on this issue. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Business Rules - Calc Manager vs AAS

Hi All,
one more question - 1. On 11.1.2 - Ours is a classic planning application and which one is preferable to maintain business rules between Calc Manager and AAS? Please share your thoughts.
Thanks,
Praveen

Well the future direction is calc manager even if you are not a fan of it, so maybe it is worth investing the time using calc manager as you are using the latest version.
Classic business rules will no doubt fade away over time.

LCM: Foundation Calc Manager vs Planning Rules Files

I need to LCM rules files and see the rules in 2 different places, Foundation -> Calc Manager and Planning -> Rules Files. Which one is the correct file from which to LCM, and what is the difference between them?
Also, files that were brought in via LCM show under Planning -> Rules Files but NOT under Foundation -> Calc Manager. Why would this be?
Thanks!
FA

For this you need to understand the underlying design. Unlike HBR, which acted as the Rules repository, in Calc Manager, rules need to be deployed to Planning from Calc Manager. Once the rule is deployed to Planning, it (Planning) maintains the copy of the rule in it's repository. You can continue to make changes to your rules in calc manager and it will not have any effect on the rule in Planning.
So during LCM, you will the rules in 2 places, one in Calc Manager (the version can be different from what is in Planning) and also in Planning.
So you can import the Planning rules via LCM and it will run without calc manager coming in to picture. But if you want to edit these rules and deploy it back to Planning, you would need to import the rule via lcm in to Calc Manager and redeploy to Planning.

Hyperion Planning business rules migrating to Calc Manager issue

It was suggested I post this in calc manager as well, so I hope cross posting is allowed!
We are trying to migrate from Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2
Our business rules were migrated to Calc Manager by our IT team. The rules run (for the most part).
Our main complaint about this migration is that it excluded our comments inside the business rules and added it's own!
When we first open the rule it is in graphical mode. But on the Script Tab I can see our orignal Business rule, but it's missing comments. Not all comments -- those at the top of the rule are intact, but after it starts getting into the meat of the rule, it loses many, but not all of the comments. When I chose to edit this rule in script mode, then calc manager adds tons if its own comments, making the code very junky to read.
So, multiple questions -- how do we get the migration of business rules to calc manager to stop losing our important comments. Is it possible to get the newly migrated rules to initially open in script mode rather than graphical mode so that it doesn't add it's own comments. Or is there a way to turn off the added commenting?
This is a snippet of our rule in 11.1.1.3:
FIX ("D0P000 Pushdown")
"Accrued Salaries and Wages Pushdown" = "BTL Accrued Sal & Wages Total"->"WBS_I19990_PLAN" * (D0P000->"Total Reg Labor" / "LMSS (LRP TEMPLATE LEVEL)"->"Total Reg Labor");
ENDFIX
/* FIX on account members that should be rolled up in the AGG statement below. */
FIX (@DESCENDANTS( "Orders"),
This is what it looks like when it comes up in graphical mode in Calc Mgr 11.1.2.2 (note that comment is already missing):
FIX ("D0P000 Pushdown")
"Accrued Salaries and Wages Pushdown" = "BTL Accrued Sal & Wages Total"->"WBS_I19990_PLAN" * (D0P000->"Total Reg Labor" / "LMSS (LRP TEMPLATE LEVEL)"->"Total Reg Labor");
ENDFIX
FIX (@DESCENDANTS( "Orders"),
This is what it looks like when it switches from graphical to script (bonus comments are added):
FIX ( /*DIM:Entities*/"D0P000 Pushdown")
/*STARTCOMPONENT:FORMULA*/
"Accrued Salaries and Wages Pushdown" = "BTL Accrued Sal & Wages Total"->"WBS_I19990_PLAN" * (D0P000->"Total Reg Labor" / "LMSS (LRP TEMPLATE LEVEL)"->"Total Reg Labor");
/*ENDCOMPONENT*/ ENDFIX
FIX ( /*DIM:Accounts*/@DESCENDANTS( "Orders"),
Thanks for any help.

You might learn to appreciate graphical mode in Calc Manager, we do. It is not like the old Business Rules in EAS. I am an old school calc script person, and have NO love for drag-and-drop coding ... I need control. ;-)
Insert a blank script object and paste your code into the 'Script' tab for that object. Set up your prompts and use the {} notation in your code. All of the comments will stay put ... as long as you DON'T USE EDIT, SCRIPT! We make a fair number of generic, reusable pieces of code and save them as shared scripts. These can be dragged into Rules. Click on the Rule's Begin object and choose the Script tab ... you will see how the bits are assembled into complete calc script. We've even come up with a way to use LOOP ... ENDLOOP as though it were a procedural IF statement so we can control whether or not a chunk of code is active or not.
Shared scripts are especially good for currency translation components since we occasionally add new currencies and want to make a change in one object that is used in dozens of business rules.

Business Rules Disappearing in Calc Manager

I've got a classic planning app on 11.1.2.1 running business rules through calc manager but just the other day I logged in an i could no longer see the business rules in calc manager when i go to expand the database. The rules still run and are visible in other places like the business rule security manager but not in calc manager. I tried restarting calc manager, reconfiguring weblogic, creating new rules (which actually works but the old one still are invisible). I migrated over the environment from another environment, without luck. Any idea's what could be wrong?
Thanks!
Mark

Hi, have you migrated rules though Appication Group->Foundation->Calculation Manager path of LCM? Or just rules with your application. It looks like the second but it's not enough you should use first one too.
It's not explain what have happened with you rules but may help you to restore them

How to disable Planning administrators and interactive users to create or edit calc manager rules in their application ?

Hello,
According to the Calc Manager Designer Guide 11.1.2.3 and my testing :
- Planning administrators can edit the calc manager rules deployed into their Planning application
- Planning interactive users can create their own calc manager rules in their Planning application
But according to our IT governance, they should not be able to do it and specially in a production environment (and they were not able to do it in Planning 11.1.1 with HBR).
Any idea or trick to disable Planning administrators and interactive users to create or edit calc manager rules in their application ?
Thanks in advance.
Philippe

Well as far i Know....
- Planning administrators can edit the calc manager rules deployed into their Planning application ---Its aspected , as admin have to maintain the application and nothing wrong in that....
- Planning interactive users can create their own calc manager rules in their Planning application--They can create thir own rules only when they have proper access to calc mgr..if you don't have given access to calc mgr then they can't.....
Cheers!

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.

Can we use Aliases instead of member name in Calc Manager

We migrated business rules to Calc Manager. After migration Calc Managers are not getting validated (stating the member is missing in the database). Later found out that in the script it has alias name instead of member name which was causing this error.
example
Member name = C001
Alias = Texas
in the script it is mentioned Texas = 5; (this statement throws an error while validating, stating Texas is not present in the outline, even though Texas is present in the Alias table as an alias for C001).
Once I modify the script to C001 = 5; it gets validated without any issue.
Does this mean in Calc Manager we cannot use Aliases unlike business rules and Calc Scripts?
Please advice.

The 'Defects Fixed' section of the release notes for 11.1.2 includes...
"Calculation scripts validate inconsistently in Essbase and Calculation Manager (8800397)."
...which is pretty broad!
Can you run the rules OK? If so, I'd just ignore the Calculation Manager validation message.

EPMA Batch Client - Can I launch business rules created in Calc Manager?

I'm currently on a project where we have implemented an EPMA Planning app (v 11.1.1.2), and we need to schedule business rules to run in batch. In the past, I used the command line launcher to perform this task. Unfortunately, the command line launcher is really a part of EAS, so it would appear that I cannot use this method to launch a rule created in Calc Manager. Is this correct?
It looks like my other option is to use the EPMA Batch Client. In looking at the "Execute" command in the documentation, it doesn't reference the ability to run a business rule. The docs are fairly limited, so I'm wondering if I really CAN launch a business rule from here.
Has anyone scheduled a business rule (created in Calc Manager) to run in batch? If so, what method did you use? If all else fails, I can create a calc script and run it from MaxL, but I'd rather not have multiple versions of the code floating around.
Thanks!
- Jake

Hi Jake,
One of the known issues in 11.1.1.3 is :-
You cannot launch a business ruleset with runtime prompts from the Planning command line launch (7205464).
Whether this means you can't run calc manager BR's from command line I am not sure.
There is no documentation in this area so I assume it can't be done yet.
Cheers

Business Rules migration to Calc Manager

Hi there,
We are currently in 11.1.2.1 and looking at applying the 11.1.2.2 patch. One of the pre-requisites is the HBR migration to Calc Manager. We are trying to find out if there is a better way of preparing the business rules for migration to calculation manager in a distributed environment. We have three planning servers and approx. 4-8 security groups assigned to a business rule. According to the documentation we now have to assign permissions to each planning server (location) individually and then assign each security group individually to each planning server (location). This means a single rule can have up to 27 objects that need to be assigned. When we start talking about 100’s rules & sequences this really adds up. Is there an easier way to do this in a distributed environment.
I have raised an SR with Product Support who have raised an enhancement request and referred me to consulting however this sounds more like a product issue to me.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Seb

Hi Seb,
I think there may be a somewhat easy answer here. Have you looked at the locations under business rules? You may right click on a location and copy it to another location. I'm pretty certain it copies all security over to the second location also.
Suggest you test this in a non-prod environment if you have one available.

Provisioning users to access Planning apps in Calc Manager

What provisioning role in Shared Services determines whether or not an end user can see a Planning application in Calc Manager? One of my analysts can only see one of our three Planning applications in Calc Manager. I can see all 3 apps in Calc Manager but I've got full admin rights to everything. I've opened an SR with Oracle but they have yet to answer my question.
Appreciate any feedback.
-Bob

I believe it might have to do with launch access. To see a business rule in calc manager, the planner must have launch access to it. Also make sure the user isn't being restricted due to the default "None" access kicking in somewhere. I believer your answer might lie somewhere in this issue.

Business Rules and Calc Manager

Can anyone help with these questions:
1) Are you supposed to be able to run business rules from/via Smart View?
2) Since HBR is being decomm'd in 1.2.2 and Calc Manager fully replaces it, are you supposed to be able to run Calc Mgr calcs from/via Smart View
3) Can you create Run Time Prompts in Calc Manager for an Essbase (not Planning) connection only? Since you can in HBR surely you can in Calc Mgr? It was greyed out in my test.
Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,
To date Smart View only runs rules against Essbase when using Hyperion Planning. Using rules in conjunction with forms is one of the value propositions of Hyperion Planning.
The guide is pretty clear the RTP's are for Planning only.
Suggest you take a read through the Calculation Manager admin guide available at: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/cmgr_admin.pdf
And the full EPM product docs are always nice to have on hand from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/performance-management/documentation/index.html or from the quick link area on my blog.

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.
Cheers
John
