Problem in Hyperion Business Rules

Hi All,
I have an urgent requirement. I have a dimension Period with weeks(Wk1,Wk2....Wk52) as level 0 members.
I have account member called "Addition". User will enter value for "Addition" in any week say Wk5. I have to calculate
"Process" (another account member) by using "Addition" and other members for Wk5, Wk6, Wk7 upto no. of weeks which user enters. i.e. if user enters 4 for "Weeks" member, "Process" should be calculated for next 4 weeks from the week where value for "Addition" is entered.
I am facing problem in moving to next weeks. I have tried in many ways but didnt get solution.
I tried to store the week member in local variable as :
[LocalVar1]=@SHIFT(@CURRMBR(Period),1);
but it stored the value entered in that week but not member name.
Please help me.

Have you tried restarting the RMI service which is probably on the same server as AAS?
Also was there some type of system migration performed?

Hyperion Business Rules cannot connect to Hyperion Planning

I've deployed these applications into one machine server:
- Hyperion Essbase 7.1.3
- Hyperion Planning 4.0.1 (including Hyperion Business Rules)
- Essbase Administration Services 7.1.3
Everything runs well except that Hyperion Business Rules cannot connect to the Hyperion Planning as described in some error lines below:

Hi,
Have they ever worked ?
Have you followed the golden rule, start RMI, EAS, Planning, Log into planning application through the web, Open EAS, create bus rule, select outline of the planning application you logged in.
Also it is definitely checking out document ID 763345.1 in metalink3 (My Oracle Support)

Sharing information between Hyperion Business Rules

I am trying to share information between two Hyperion Business rules in EAS console.
Suppose for example , I calculated a value and stored in local variable in one Business Rule.
I would like to have this information in another business rule.
Any idea about the possiblities.?
I tried to use Global Variables in EAS but the Global variables are fixed and cannot be changed.
Thanks ,
Rajan

Can you make a HBR local variable the target of a value? Doesn't that local variable have to resolve to a member in an Essbase database sooner or later if it's going to receive a data value from a formula?
Or did you create a local variable as Real and then used that as the target? Maybe that would do it? (Obviously I've never done this.)
Could you create a temporary place in the database to stick it and then delete it?
Something like:
1) Local variable = some kind of formula/calc
2) No Account->No Product->No Scenario->whatever = Local Variable value. The point is an unused member that will let you set a value without overwriting permanent numbers. That shouldn't be too hard to find in a Planning app.
3) In HBR #2, go after that member combination and number from #2, stick it into a local variable, and set that location in #2 to #Missing.
Kind of painful, but it shouldn't really be that tough. You will need to make sure you create the block in #2.

Problems exposing a Business Rule in a composite as a Web Service

Hi
I am currently facing a problem invoking a Composite from within the BPEL.
Scenario: I have created a composite which has one Business Rule Component. The composite deploys successfully to the Web Logic Server. (Successful compilation: 0 errors, 0 warnings). However there is a number of "ignoring messages" which do not affect the deploy. These ignoring messages could be the souce of my problem which I will explain later. Example of an ignoring message
ignoring C:\Work\Project\ValidationProcess\Rules\xsd\PDQuality_DecisionService_1Types.xsd; not on source path
Now if I create a new project composite which has a BPEL component. The BPEL component has a partner link to call the Composite mentioned above. When assigning variables i.e Input variables to the partnerlink service, I notice that the payload of the invoke variables ( TO Section) has an error "Exception - Problem building schema!"
To prove that the partner service is working. I can view the WSDL in Internet Explorer. I can use the Eclipse WTP workbench to invoke the service ( Composite with Rules ). Now could it be that I am getiing this problem because initially when deploying the service (Composite with Rules) I was getting these ignoring messages and could it be that I should add all the ignoring source to the source path.... OR am I just embarking on a tangent!
Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated.. Thanks in advance

Hyperion Business Rules Error

Good day!
I have an error every time I validate the business rules in essbase.

Sorry for the long log message.
I am using the admin user. Is there a possibility that the admin has no privilege for the business rule? (Which is unusual because it should have all the privileges).
Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance.

I think you have to give access even to the admin user to validate/run a business rule
try giving access to that rule and then validate

Hyperion Business Rule Error: Cannot retrieve connected root element for

I am trying to open a business rule in EAS and I am recieving the following error: Cannot retrieve connected root element for Planning/Servername/Application/Database.
I am able to connect to the application via Planning Web, but I am recieving this message when I am trying to open the business rule in eas.
hoping if someone has come across this issue before and has been able to successfully fix it.

Hyperion Business rules

HI All,
The scenario is such that I have two set of data forms.
One is for monthly level budgeting and the other set of forms is for Yearly budgeting data.
Now, when I punch the data into the Yearly values, it has to evenly distributed into the monthly forms.
Ex: When I punch 120 in FY11, then it has to be divided by 12 and set 10 for Jan, 10 for Feb and so on and so forth.
Thanks All

This is the default behaviour of Hyperion Planning distribution. You should enable distribution in the form design and place the period dimension as Ilevel0descendants(YearTotal) to column. If you have already set even distribution (not 4-4-5 or 4-5-4) then the data you input on YearTotal gets distributed to months evenly. Therefore you wouldn't need to write a business rule for this.
Cheers,
Alp

Hyperion Business Rules and Essbase

I have an allocation business rule that uses the DATACOPY command to copy data from one cost center to another. I would now like to have the sum of 2 cost centers copied into the allocation cost center. In an Essbase calc script, I accomplished this by FIXing on some dimensions and then:
DATACOPY cc1 TO alloc_cc;
alloc_cc = alloc_cc + cc2
This works fine in a calc script, but the business rule does not like the "alloc_cc = alloc_cc + cc2" line. How do I accomplish this task in a business rule?
Thanks.
Terri T.

when I validate, I get this message.
Detail:Cannot calculate. Essbase Error(1200354): Error compiling formula for [alloc_cc] (line 13): expected type [NUMBER] found [STRING] (["CC2"]) in function []

Problem using "Create Business Rule Design Definition" utility

Hi everyone,
I tried to create a business rule with Headstart Utilities - Create Business Rule Design Definition (Revision 6.0.0.20) and I got the following errors :
Errors
Message
Combination of Message Prefix and Message Number (SGM-ENG) does not match format AAA-NNNNN.
Activity aborted with ORACLE internal errors.
-1400 ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("HST50"."QMS_MESSAGE_TEXT"."LANGUAGE")
I suppose that the utility concatenate the message prefix and the language to build the error message.
Our Oracle Designer version is 6.0.3.9.0, Headstart 2.1.2 with patch 12.4 and Developper is 6.0.5.35.3
Any patch available?
Regards,
Jerome Couture

Tim,
Headstart should be able to check out any tables you need.
We think we have the user settings
done correctly, but there may be something that we
have missed. How can we get Headstart to
automatically check-out the table(s) for which we
want to run the Business Rules design transformer?The user settings you need are (see also pages 5-7 and 5-10 in the Headstart User's Guide):
- Under 'Process the following objects', choose 'Checked out by anyone'
- Also check the check box '... also Checked In objects'
- Choose whether you want to automatically check out with or without lock
If this does not help, please run the utility with log level 'Debug Detailed' (can also be set in the User Preferences) and report the last few lines of the log messages. They should give an indication of why the check out does not succeed.
Hope this helps,
Sandra Muller

Hyperion Business Rules - Updating to use New Member in Essbase Outline

We have a business rule that needs updated to include a new cost center.
"Allocated Account" = ("Account 1"->CC1->Product->Project->"Channel 1" + "Account 1"->CC2->Product->Project->"Channel 1") / ("Account 5"->CC_3->Product->Project->"Channel 1" + "Account 5"->CC_4->Product->Project->"Channel 1");
CC2 is a cost center that we just added to the Essbase outline and does not have data yet. When I try to validate the business rule, I get an error:
Cannot calculate. Essbase Error(1200497): Error compiling formula for [Allocated Account] (line 33): unknown member name [CC2] in function ...
I am new to business rules and have no clue why it doesn't like the new cost center.
Thanks.
Terri T.

Yes, I can find the member name in the outline. I don't understand what you mean by "refreshing" the outline. I have saved the outline.

Can not run the Business rules with Hyperion Business Rules Desinger

I created a business rules with Business Rules Designer,and validate is ok, but when I run it, pop a blank window withtitle "Run Error", how to solve it ? Thanks

I would export the rule to essbase and test it there. I should run and the log will tell you something. I would also look at the business rules log to see what it says.

Hyperion Business Rules Restore

Hi,
I've Oracle EPM 11.1.2.1 installed on AIX 6.1 server. The Oracle EPM server crash. I've only a backup of Database schemas. Can I restore HBR? Only a database backup is enough to restore it? Into the EAS schema i can see the Business Rules descriptions. Where are store the scripts?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
David.

Yes, all Business Rules with scipts are store into the table HBRRULES from the EAS schema.

Documentation for Hyperion Business Rules

Is there anywhere I could some more documentation on developing business rules? Specifically, I am trying to find out how to launch business rules with multiple run-time prompts from a shortcut or batch file using a run time prompts file (.rtp). I found the HBR admin guide but it does not give enough detail. Thanks in advance.

I haven't had the opportunity to use HBR yet. I'm interested since we may want to use it soon. The admin guide mentions (pg74) creating an automatic launch variable file (must be XML). It looks like you need to use the admin console to create the XML file, then reference that XML file when launching the command launcher. Does that make sense? HTH. JS

How to track Hyperion Business Rules

Hi
Which log can we look into to track which HBR'S were created/deleted by users along with timestamp?
Env:11.1.2.1 ,WIN2K8 64 bit
Thanks,
Manoj

I wouldnt have thought many users were creating business rules?
anyway not sure the HBR logs by standard will log who created/deleted a rule, maybe if the logging is set to a different level.
You can also check out the relational eas database, table HBRRules has ModifiedBy,Owner and LastModified columns, the ModifiedBy/Owner will need to matched back to the user, it will not tell you deletions though.
