WebForms, Security, Business Rules restore in Planning

Hello everybody,
I am working on Hyperion System 9 (shared services, essbase, BI+, planning etc) with Oracle 10g relational repositories.
I know Planning has 2 command line tools (FormDefUtil.cmd, ExportSecurity.cmd) that allow us to export Planning web data forms and security in txt file.
My question is: If I don't have the exported files for web forms and security (because my client didn't know about the existence of the 2 tools above and so there is no backup of web form and security) is there another way to restore them?
Could I use the database backups to restore web forms and security? We do make a backup every night of all Hyperion schemas .
Same question for Business Rules. My client never made a backup of them (never exported them as .xml), can they be restored from the database's backup?
If web forms, security, BR can be restored from database, what are the steps to be followed in order to perform such an operation?
Thank you for you help!
Daniela

Hi,
If there has been a backup of the relational database then you will be able to restore the database from a previous day over the current database.
You need to stop planning first, restore database, start planning, log in to make sure everything is alright.
That is the usual way to restore the planning elements.
The EAS database will follow the same sort of concept.
Cheers

  • Search for member name in WebForms and Business Rules - 11.1.2.1

    Hi,
    Client has a hierarchy with two parents (Owned and Managed) within a dimension. The 'Managed' parent is no longer valid. Thus they want to eliminate it and move it's children under the 'Owned' member. However there could be ramifications in Business Rules and/or WebForms. Is there a way to search all Business Rules and WebForms for 'Managed' to see which Business Rules and/or WebForms would be affected?
    Or is best way to extract all the WebForms and Business Rules to xml files via LCM and then write custom script to search the files? Not sure if this functionality is already there or not.
    They are on 11.1.2.1

    I don't think "Show Usage" picks up Business Rules that are in the Calculation Manger.
    Also check the Member Formulas - easiest to do in the EAS (view the Outline, and the member formulas are displayed. Otherwise, in Planning, you would need to go into each member individually, and that would take forever). And if you're using Partitions or MRAs, you should check them, too.
    I'm assuming you're doing all of this in a copy of the application, and not on a "live" app, right? So you can make the change and then validate the Business Rules and Outline, and the error messages will tell you where "Managed" was being used.

  • Cannot see existing Business Rules in Hyperion Planning ?

    Hello,
    I'm working on Planning 9.3.1.2 :
    I've developped several Business Rules with the EAS console (theses HBR are attached to a project).
    But when I open the application in Hyperion Planning with my admin accounts. I can't see any Business Rules in the list of Business Rules, only Calc sCripts.
    Is anyone as an idea ?
    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards

    1. Make sure that you have used the planning outline and not the Essbase outline to develop the rules.
    2. Also access needs to be given to the rules for a location (even to admin - somtimes). Ensure that you have given the access rights correctly.

  • 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,

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

  • How to undeploy business rules deployed in Planning

    I am unable to undeploy test business rules deployed on Production. Deleting from calculation manager leaves BR in planning.. is there in any other option??

    Try this http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/cmgr_admin/ch07s03s01.html
    "To remove a business rule or ruleset from an application after you deploy the business rule or ruleset, make it ineligible for deployment by clearing the check box next to its name in the Deployment View. Then you can perform a full deployment of the application by right-clicking it and selecting Deploy."
    As you've already deleted rule from Calc manager try to create empty rules with the same name (if first full deployment wouldn't help)

  • Business Rule Issue in Planning

    Hi All,
    I am working on a business rule and I ve tried doing it many ways but still unable to achieve the desired results. Please find the BR below:-
    FIX(@CHILDREN("Vendor Expenses")
    ,{Scenario},@Relative("Year",0),"No VendorCategory")
    {UPKVendor}
    IF (@ISUDA({UPKVendor},Master))
    {UPKMasterVendor}= @MEMBER(@CONCATENATE("V",@NAME({UPKVendor})));
    {ToVersion}->@IDescendants({UPKMasterVendor}) = {FromVersion}->@IDescendants({UPKMasterVendor})
    ELSE
    {ToVersion}->{UPKVendor}={FromVersion}->{UPKVendor};
    ENDIF
    ENDFIX
    Assumptions :-
    {UPKVendor} is a runtime prompt of type "Member" who's value is initiated from the web form (Vendor Dimension which is tagged with UDA's to identify the type of project)
    {UPKMasterVendor} is a runtime prompt of type "Member" who's value is constructed by concatenating "V" to the {UPKVendor}
    {ToVersion} & {FromVersion} are runtime prompt's as well and the user can select the values for these prompts as part of the business rule.
    Desired Results:-
    IF A VENDOR IS A "MASTER" Vendor, WHICH IS IDENTIFIED USING THE UDA
    THEN COPY THE UPKMASTERVENDOR AND IT's DESCENDANTS FROM THE ONE VERSION (FROMVersion) to ANOTHER VERSION (TOVersion)
    For some reason, the calc manager is not formulating @IDescandants({UPKMasterVendor})
    {ToVersion}->@IDescendants({UPKMasterVendor}) = {FromVersion}->@IDescendants({UPKMasterVendor})
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Cz

    Hi,
    The issue here is that you are trying to assign a member string in a variable on runtime which is not quite possible in Calc Script language. As discussed here number of times and once more quite recently, Calc Script does not support object type (including string) assignment. You can only assign numeric values to members and variables alike. You should try something like @Match function or If condition to achieve what you are doing. Another issue in your script is that you use @Descendants in an equation. You should use @Descendants to restrict the boundaries of your calculation (IF(@ISMBR..., FIX etc) but not in equations.
    Just to give an idea, have a look at below sample:
    IF (@ISUDA({UPKVendor},Master))
    IF(@ISMBR(@Descendants((@MEMBER(@CONCATENATE("V",@NAME({UPKVendor})))))
    {ToVersion}= {FromVersion};
    ENDIF
    ENDIF
    Cheers,

  • Business rules from epma to planning

    Hi,
    In EPMA version 11.1.12 I am having an issue with business rules. I wrote and deployed a business rule from EPMA to planning and everything was fine, the rule ran on save in the data form.
    Now, I tried to run the rule a few days later and it won't run. I tried to remove and re-add the rule, but now its not visible. In planning, I can't see 'business rule security' in the administration drop down.
    I deployed the application and all the rules and everything is successful, but still nothing in planning. In another application the rules are there.
    How could a business rule disappear from planning and not show up again when it was deployed? Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
    Dq

    We sometimes see similar issues when the services are recycled in the wrong order. Perhaps a service failed or was restarted (after you had been successful in running the business rule from Planning)?

  • Error in association of Business Rule to Planning

    My name is Jitendra from India. I am new to Hyperion planning 9.3.
    I am facing problem while attaching a business rule with the planning database (association step). It is showing "Unable to connect to Planning" . But same Business rule is attaching with the Essbase database.
    I have installed 9.3.1Shared Service,Essbase server,Client,cosole,planning (classic application not EPMA application). My planning engine is working fine.
    I am stuck at this point for last 2 days. I saw below guide lines in OTN forum by John.
    Can somebody guide me with this problem or tell me where I can find the doc id - 763345.1
    I saw below guide lines in OTN forum by John.
    "*Before logging into EAS, try logging into the planning application via the web first.*

  • Business Rules not available in Planning

    I logged into EAS console and created a business rule against my planning outline. It validated properly and even runs properly from the EAS console (changes data as expected).
    But when I log into Planning to assign this rule to a form the business rule is not listed either under the TOOLS > Business rules menu option or under the Business Rules Tab in Form editor.
    What do I need to do to get this business rule into Planning?

    I am on 9.3.1.
    I have 2 servers, the essbase (hy01) and the planning (hy06). When logging into EAS I usually select the essbase server to log into (hy01). I created 1 business rule while logged into hy01 and it appeared when I logged into planning through workspace. I associated that BR with the outline hy06/AppName/DBname and used that as the location as well.
    After that business rule was a grand success if I log into hy01 when logging onto EAS and then try to expand the BR node I get a "Error logging in to Business Rules. The repository has not been configured or you are not authorized to use Business Rules."
    But I can log into EAS using hy06 and access the business rules just fine (including the original one). But every business rule I have created since then does not show up into planning.
    So, in retrospect, I guess my question might be why can't I use Business Rules when logging into EAS through the Essbase server (hy01) but have full functionality when logging in through planning server (hy06) except for being able to then see the business rules I create in Planning through Workspace?
    I am logged in as admin and no permissions have changed.

  • Business Rules are disappearing from forms in Hyperion Planning v 11.1.1.3

    We are using Calculation Manager to create business rules in a planning v 11.1.1.3 application using EPMA, web logic and SQL Server. We have had several instances where business rules that were attached to forms suddenly would disappear. The form still is aware that there is an attached rule, because the application and database name appears in the Business Rules section of the form. However, all of the business rules in the application are no longer visible (i.e. the rule names are blank). The only way we have found to correct the problem is to make a copy of the rules in Calculation Manager and then redeploy the rules and re-attach them to the forms. The old rules still show up with blank descriptions. This has happened at two different locations and seems to corresond with application deployment, although intermittent. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks...

    If I understand what you're saying, I had the same or similar thing happen to me recently with v11.1.1.3, only I'm using classic Business Rules. I don't know why the problem occurs, although I think the root cause is probably related to inter-server communications, not to the corruption or loss of metadata. It happened to me in the target environment when I exported the rules from one environment and imported them into another.
    When I encountered the problem, I opened and then saved (without changing anything) the business rule cluster I use for managing access rights. That resolved the problem, my guess is by giving the application servers enough of a kick in the pants to start talking to one another again.
    I don't know whether this helps any, but I just thought I'd let you know you're not the only one who has seen this problem.
    Regards.

  • Business rules do not appear in Planning

    Hi,
    I've created 4 business rules, and assigned myself with Modify privileges, and "Launch and validate" privileges.
    Outline has been assigned and the rules validate fine as well.
    When login to planning and view the business rules under that plan type, it does not show the rules.
    Can anyone help with understanding what this prolem is related to?
    Thanks,
    Anindyo

    I assume that you assigned the business rule to the application location? If not, go into the business rule edit mode and check the Location tab. Make sure the application location is added. If it does not seamlessly appear in Planning, then log out then back into the Planning application for the rules to synch with Planning.

  • Unable to view Business Rules in Planning application

    Hi All,
    After changing the password of hypadmin i am not able to view all the business rules in my planning application and EAs console business rules wizard also doesn't shown planning when i am trying to add location.
    Please suggest how to do password change in Hyperion 11.1.2.
    Regards,
    Vasu

    Hi,
    If it's admin id(configuration id), then you need to configure all the components which is registered with shared services after changing your password.
    For example, EAS configuration, only re-configure for -> Register with shared services.
    Like the same way we need to do for all components with new password & for planning apps, need to edit datasource with new password.
    Thanks.

  • Error validating business rules containing variable from another plan type.

    We have created few business rules in in plan type "Plan1" which we are using variable from plan type "Capex". This is how we are using it.
    "(@XREF(cpx,"Intangible Assets Finite, Gross","Unspecified","No Project","Information Technology (IT)","371064911-01"))"
    But when we validate this rule it gives the following error
    "An error occurred in: Rule:IFLJAN13.Plan1.B - Trail Balance - Capex
    A validation error was received from the Planning server 'http://hptstorg:8300/HyperionPlanning/servlet/HspAppManagerServlet?appname=IFLJAN13'.
    'Error:The member 'Unspecified' cannot be found.
    The member 'Unspecified' cannot be found.
    The member 'Intangible Assets' cannot be found.
    The member 'Unspecified' cannot be found.
    The member 'Unspecified' cannot be found. Rule IFLJAN13.Plan1.B - Trail Balance - Capex'."
    We have checked the location aliases using EAS Console and they are correct.

    Could you pls. check if you can see your BR in the location for the cube where you are unable to validate the rule?! (EAS console --> Administration --> Locations --> (right click) open)
    your user must be able to "validate or launch" the rule in this location (changeable with "Add Access Privileges") and the rule itself must be able to launch in this location (changeable with "Add rules").
    Kind regards

  • Business Rules Access

    Hello Experts,
    Could anyone please help me with an easy solution to turn-off execution of Business rules in Hyperion Planning? We've closed the Budget scenario which makes the webforms readonly, but users still can run Business rules that are in their tasklists. This is messing up our numbers as the rules wipe out our allocations. So far, the only solution i could think of was to remove the user access on BR. I dont like this option because i've to put the security back in for all the projects again. I would think Oracle obviously has a better and cleaner way of doing this.
    Thanks
    Sam

    Hi Sam,
    If I understand, your problem is you dont want the business rule to impact your budget for the current year and version. If any user run the business rule if should not impact any current years budget values.
    If my above understanding is correct, then you can create a variable in the business rule either as promt or saved assumption and set that either for next year (as current year is already closed) or set for some other non working version.
    This will ensure that your data for current years budget and version is not impacted even if any user run it by mistake through task list.
    Thanks
