@relative acting strange in business rule

We have a planning form that is supposed to run a business rule when we hit 'save'.
we have the following code inside the business rule:
FIX (&ThisYear, "Forecast", [<GV1>], @RELATIVE([<GV2>],0)
GV1 and GV2 are global variables referring to dimensions. It works great for GV1-it picks up the value selected for GV1 in the form and displays in the popup when we hit 'save'. For GV2, it never displays the saved value from the form-but when we hit the search button next to it, it lets us go find the right dimension level member.
there is no difference between GV1 and GV2-they both refer to top level dimensions-only difference in GV1's dimension is 'Dynamic Calc' and GV2's dimension is not.
We have also tried just 'GV2', just like 'GV1', without @RELATIVE.

We selected 'members' instead of 'member' inside the vairable.

Issue with executing Business Rules from Planning web

Hi,
We are using Hyperion Planning 9.3.0.1 and we keep getting an issue with the Business Rules. We get an error if we try to run the rules from Planning web. The same rules validates and executes fine if we run it from AAS. This issue gets resolved if we restart the Planning and RMI service. But this issue keeps happening randomly. Is there a permanent resolution to it? Is it a bug or I am missing something here?
Thanks and Regards,
Amol

Hi,
Have you installed any of the patches for 9.3.0.1, I think it goes up to 9.3.0.1.09
One of the fixes was :-
8-665086601 (6588823) – 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. The time interval is specified in milliseconds and defaults to 300,000 (five minutes).
Though I know there has been more attention to fixing known issues on 9.3.1 than 9.3.0.1

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

Strange error when trying to validate a business rule

I get this strange error when I try to validate a business rule:
Detail:Cannot calculate. Essbase Error(1200369): Error optimizing formula for [69972] (line 38): can not cross members from the same dimension
The rule is:
FIX (@RELATIVE("SG&A", 0))
"69972" = (("60001" -> "C1130" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees") + ("69971" -> "C1130" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees")) * "SG&A % of C1130" -> "No Cost Center" -> "PNULL" -> "No Employee" * (("Headcount" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees") - ("C1130"->"Headcount" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees")) / (("Headcount" -> "SG&A" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees") - ( "C1130"->"Headcount" -> "SG&A" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees")) ;
ENDFIX

Error msg states that you have used crossdim operator with the member of same dim. Cross check again.
EX:
"C1130"->"Headcount" -> "SG&A" -> "All Projects" -> "All Employees"
Are all of these members belong to different dimesions?

Quality check on Business Rules gives strang result for OMS-60005

OMS-60005 Functions used to record business rules should be labeled as:
BR_[entity short name]###([decomposition id])_[type abbreviation]
BR_IDE024_CEW, BR_IDE029_CEV, BR_IDE030_CEW, BR_IPF004_CEW are violations but they are valid as far as I know.

Yes my particular issue is not like yours. However, there have been many other laptop users experiencing similar problem to yours after 3.10 kernel. Mostly it seems to be bumblebee users that experience your problem with the blank screen. We do know that nvidia have yet to make their official drivers work with kernel 3.10 and up. The drivers in the Arch repository have been patched to work with 3.10. From what I have seen, this also only seem to be affecting laptops with newer nvidia gpu's. I fear there is not much to do with this problem until nvidia give official 3.10 kernel support.
My suggestion would be to stick with 3.9.9 kernel and the drivers that work with it, and don't upgrade those packages until nvidia has addressed these issues. If you have a look at the nvidia forums you will see quite a number of topics mentioning black screen when starting x on 3.10 kernel, and also a thread for the system dying. Reading some of the threads there may help you keep up to date on whether or not the issue seem to be solved.

Strange Business rule behaviour in EAS

Hi,
We are testing some changes to the caches for a planning app. As part of this a number of business rules are be run concurrently to simulate what happens in production. The business rules, with a large data set, are started from EAS, as they are in production as they are run by admins. The first two start fine but when the third is run one of two things happen.
1. The first two started show completed after a few seconds while the third one is running
2. An error saying 'Detail: Cannot Calculate. Analytic Server Error(1013131): Failed to start Asynchronous thread' appears on the 3rd business rule
It doesn't seem to matter the order the business rules are run in. The same rule is run more than once but with different variables.
I have restarted planning. I also read about the system properties HBR_MAX_WAIT_FOR_RULE and HBR_MONITOR_DELAY. They were added before my time to resolve the business rules appearing to error but continuing to run in the background. The settings are
HBR_MAX_WAIT_FOR_RULE: 180000
HBR_MONITOR_DELAY: 90000
I would appreciate any suggestions as I haven't seen this before.
For info, prod is a better spec environment but with lower data and index caches but is slow hence the tuning exercise in UAT.
Thanks,
Nathan

Hi Nathan,
Are you using SET CALCPARALLEL in your business rule.
Your log mentions about creating a thread, so I thought if you can serialize in stead of parallelling the calculation, it might work.
Best regards
Ali

Business Rules Access Privileges Strange Issue

Hello,
i know it's weird but it seems that planning has problems with Access Privileges on Business Rules.
This morning i found that some Privileges were missing (groups disappeared from Access Privileges tab on BR). When i try to fix this (adding it again), i have to repeat the operation more than one time to make it works.
What it could be? Sync problem with repository? ...i had no errors on message panel.
I run Hyperion Planning 9.3.1.1.8 on windows environment.
thank u,

Hi,
I would of recycled the services first to see if it was a communication issue.

Related to business rule

Hi,
I have one question, i need to migrate the business rule from dev to prod ,in that i need to change the server name for that or no need to change,please let me know .
Regards
Ravi

Hi,
In EAS you can export the business rule to xml, open the xml and do a find and replace on the servername, save, import into target environment through eas.
for example you might see this in the xml
Planning/EPMV11/PLANSAMP/Consol
You would just do a find and replace on the servername (EPMV11) to the new servername.
Ok?

Error running business rules

Hello All, We are currently experiencing the problem with the Business Rules. After some idle time in the application, we get an error "Cannot connect to essbase server" and the business rules fail to run.

Any help in this matter is welcome. Thanks!

Hi, we have the same error (region definition error, rules in planning not running for approx. 15 min) - then suddenly working again.
This is a desaster, as planning users save not-calculated data and cause inconsistency in the system.
had this in planning 4 installation up to Aug.08 and then in system 9 (with planning patch 5) - rel. 9.3.1.1.5 using IBM Websphere -
all quick solution from hyperion did not really help: increase number of ports, java cache, change netrelay, netretryconect etc. in essbase.cfg and
Olap.server.net retry +Olap.server.net connect delay in essbase.properties files
Review business rules and users for errors, hardware, caches, fragmentation, potential system overload, search for corrupted database, invalid formulas in outline ...
it came out, that it was just 1 business rule causing this trouble: our only rule, where you enter in a user prompt a numeric value -problem is quotation marks.
we installed the cumulative Service Fix 11 for this (and other reasons) last week (takes approx. 4 hours to install with all the manual steps - just came out in May - Rel. 9.3.1.1.11)
as the error happened only from time to time in the peak of our planning session, we will monitor next months but are very optimistic to have things fixed (solution obviously in fix 9 already)
this link may help as well:
http://www.network54.com/Forum/58296/thread/1201134375/1217512299/Strange+behaviour+with+HBR++%28Planning+931%29
I suggest to install Service Fix 11 - if you read the manual, you probably find more fixed errors in there. (Patch is for Planning and BR Rules/AAS EAS)

Business Rule Currency Conversion and Carry Forward

Hello Guys,
I have a question related to the Business Rules Currency Conversion and Carry Forward
I configured the business rule "Currency Conversion" and I selected "Apply to Periodic". What this rules does with the flag selected is to get the value of the previous month converted and add the factor (Local Currency previos month - Local Currency Actual month) * Exchange Rate of Current Month
For Example: USD previos month +
This rule applies perfectly from FEB to DEC but if I run it for January, it does not consider the value of USD previos month and LC previous month for calculations so the result I get is:
(and of course it´s because it only applies to periodic)
I need to include into my results this amounts and factor so the question is: Is not a flag I can activate to force the system to act as it does for FEB to DEC periodic ??
I also set up the Business Rule "Carry Forward" so with this rule Im able to bring values converted in USD from DEC to JAN for example from a Data Source Input, but the problem is that it erase any other value I have in other Data Source members and I need to keep that info.
Hope you can come with a suggestion.
Im working with SAP BPC NW 7.5 SP08

Hello guys,
Yes, my fiscal year is from JAN to DEC and Im using a YTD app,
As you mentioned for P&L accounts the rule works fine; but we want to carry forward LEQ accounts. Is there a way to use or configure the currency conversion rule with the flag "Apply to Periodic" to carry forward LEQ accounts for the next following year?
Here is how we configured our Carry Forward Business Rule
Source and Destionation account = 4111
Source and destionation Flow= FCLO
Reverse Sign= False
Data Source Type= ALL
Same Period= False
Apply to Periodic=False
Opening Data Source=DatosBase
Source Data Source = AJ_AC

Datacopy problem Business rules

Hi Experts,
I am having some problems in trying to get the following business rule to work.
FIX("CUSTOMER_NA","INDUSTRY_NA","VENDOR_NA",[Version],[Year],@Relative("Area",0),@Relative("VALUE TOTAL",0))
FIX(@Relative("Account2",0),@Relative("Account1",0))
datacopy [Periods]->"ACT"->"Department_total" to [Periods]->"FCST"->"Department_NA";
ENDFIX
ENDFIX
It is not copying any data at all.
However if I rewrite the equation to the following, I am able to copy the data.
datacopy [Periods]->"ACT" to [Periods]->"FCST";
Obviously I am required to copy the data from department total to department_na... could it be related to some of the dynamic calc or 2 pass calc settings?
Many Thanks and Regards
Andrew

One of the following should work hopefully:
1:
FIX("CUSTOMER_NA","INDUSTRY_NA","VENDOR_NA",[Version],[Year],@Relative("Area",0),@Relative("VALUE TOTAL",0))
FIX(@Relative("Account2",0),@Relative("Account1",0))
FIX([Periods])
FIX("Department_NA")
DATACOPY "ACT" -> "Department_Total" TO "FCST";
ENDFIX
ENDFIX
ENDFIX
ENDFIX
2:
FIX("CUSTOMER_NA","INDUSTRY_NA","VENDOR_NA",[Version],[Year],@Relative("Area",0),@Relative("VALUE TOTAL",0))
FIX(@Relative("Account2",0),@Relative("Account1",0))
FIX([Periods])
FIX("Department_Total")
DATACOPY "ACT" TO "FCST" -> "Department_NA";
ENDFIX
ENDFIX
ENDFIX

Safari is acting strangely on several counts

For the last several days, Safari is acting strangely on several counts. I haven't downloaded any updates or plugins recently, and I am not aware of any Safari viruses on Mac OS X, so I'm totally lost here. Please help!
1. Periodically, Safari will stop loading a page completely. So it will start and then the url bar will be partially blue and the circle will keep circling but nothing will happen. Once it does this on one tab in that window, it will start doing it on all new tabs opened up in that window, but any original tab there might still go through. If I close the window and reopen another window, all sites on all tabs will go right through. I tried disabling DNS prefetching, and that helps Safari behave for a few minutes, then it goes back to such strange behavior. I tested using my wireless and using a different network, and it happens on both, so it's not my router. Sometimes, opening a new window doesn't help. So I shut down Safari and restart. Sometimes that doesn't help either, so I end up having to reset Safari. Obviously, having to reset Safari multiple times a day is neither productive nor ideal.
2. When it does that url thing, it also seems to become incapable of completing from history or bookmarks. So for example, if I open a tab and type a website name, it won't complete it, even though I have that bookmarked. Generally when that happens on the first tab of a window, I can pull up the site from bookmarks and it will load immediately. But the next tab I open in that window, will do the webpage not loading business I described in #1 above.
3. A short while ago, i tried resizing a window and it did the strangest thing where it would expand the window space, but just give me a "gray area" rather than expanding the whole web page. I closed the window, opened a new one and resizing worked fine again.
4. A short while ago, another strange happening: everytime I opened up a new tab in the window and loaded a site, it would merge that tab with my old tab and delete the first tab, so at any given time, it was just a single tab window. I closed the window and reopened, and voila normal tab behavior again.
Strangely, if I have two windows open - as I often do - only one window will be affected by such strange behavior. The other one will function normally. But such odd behavior is not limited to instances when I have two windows open. It's also happening when there's one window open. For reasons I do not understand, it seems something in the processes of a window gets corrupted after a little while on Safari and that window starts acting strangely.
Odd and irritating and difficult. I'd greatly appreciate your help!
I'm using Safari 5.0.6 on OS X 10.5.8... thanks!

I don't see anything in your post regarding the Safari cache. BTW, a "reset" does not empty the cache.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Empty Cache. Restart your Mac, try Safari.
If that didn't help, quit Safari if it's open.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db (or ApplicationCache.db) file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Try Safari.
If nothing above helped, make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
If nothing above has helped, try Safari in another user account. If you see the same issues there, log back into your admin account.
Launch Disk Utility. Select the startup disk in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the disk needs repairing follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks.

Request for the business rule solution to my requirement in SOA suite PS5

Hello Experts,
Could anyone please help me with an easy solution to build the business rule solution to my requirement in SOA suite 11.1.1.6.0?
When I get the Input (Request), I need to get the output (Response) as below
Request                     Response
Brand1           ->           XYZ
Brand2           ->           MNO
Brand1 & Brand2      ->           PQR
I created a bucket set with Brand1, Brand2 and linked to the input value. I build the rule set and I got rules at conditions tab like R1 - Brand1, R2 - Brand2 and R3 - Brand1, Brand2. when i tried to add action on this rule at R1, i got conflict with R3. same is the case with R2 also.
Can anyone please let me know how can I resolve this?
Thanks
Hari.

The first one is answered by Arghadip. Regarding the second one, what do you mean by incorporate (or what other term do you mean?). You want a batch program in your workflow? Why do you need a batch program? You can create an event when a person is fired (just like when he is hired) and wait for this event in the workflow. So no need to create a batch program (which would use basically the same solution, an event).

Business Rules in Planning 11.1.2.1

Hi,
I'm having a strange problem in Planning 11.1.2.1 dataforms. I added a business rule and selected Run on Save, Use members in dataform and Hide Prompt in a dataform. However when I press the save button, the Business Rule prompt appears, and the values of the prompt parameters are not filled with the current page selection (the specific business rule has 2 run-time prompt variables), while I was expecting it to simply start running without showing the prompt and ask the members to the user.
Anyone knows what could be the problem?
Thank you

Its worth having a look at below link:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/hp_admin/ch06s09s04.html
Make sure that RTPs which you have created in EAS are of type Member not Members.
Cheers..!!!
