Hyperion Planning System Tables Hyperion Planning stores non numeric data in a relational database.

Oracle recommends not to make any changes in this database without approval. However, it is a good idea to have a good understanding of the underlying tables. It is difficult to trust Hyperion user interface. During the development and set up process, there are times when you would say - I am doing everything right but it is still not working -- hat is the time when you dig in to the system tables and find out what e!actly is going on" Please note that my system is using Oracle##g as database and I am running Hyperion Planning ##.#.#.$. #. HSP_ALIASES -% his table has bunch of numbers in three columns. I am still in the process of figuring out this table. &. HSP_ANNOTATIONS -% 'eb (orm comments and hints go to this table. $. HSP_CALC_MGR_RULES -% )usiness rules are stored in this table as an *+, document. -ou can pull this out with a simple select . from H/P012,10+34045,6/ and it would look like following. 'ith my years of 7ava development background and interaction with various *+, configuration files, I can somewhat make sense out of this file. I look here when I am confident that I am doing everything right as far as my 1alc /cript8)usiness 4ule is concerned and things are still not working. 9:!ml version;<#.=< encoding;<5 (-><:% 9rule id;<?###=< name;<@ew 6mployee 2gg< product;<Planning<%9property name;<application<%finplan98property%9property name;<plantype<%finplan98property%9property name;<plantype0id<%Plan#98property%9property name;<caption<8%9property name;<display0label<%@ew 6mployee 2gg98property%9property name;<comment<8%9variable0references%9variable0reference id;<#=< name;<rtp/cenario<%9property name;<hasvalue<%false98property%9property name;<plantype<%(inPlan98property%9property name;<passing0method<%)y4ef98property%9property name;<hidden<%false98property%9property name;<type<%$98property%9property name;<application<%(inPlan98property%9property name;<seA0inde!<8%9property name;<value<%<(orecast<98property%9property name;<rule0name<%@ew 6mployee 2gg98property%9property name;<allow+issing<%false98property%9property name;<parameter<%true98property%9property name;<seA<%#98property%9property name;<scope<%(inPlan.(inPlan98property%98variable0reference%9variable0reference id;<$< name;<rtp-ear<%9property name;<hasvalue<%false98property%9property name;<plantype<%(inPlan98property%9property name;<passing0method<%)y4ef98property%9property name;<hidden<%false98property%9property name;<type<%$98property%9property name;<application<%(inPlan98property%9property name;<seA0inde!<8%9property name;<value<%<(-#&<98property%9property name;<rule0name<%@ew 6mployee 2gg98property%9property name;<allow+issing<%false98property%9property name;<parameter<%true98property%9property name;<seA<%&98property%9property name;<scope<%(inPlan.(inPlan98property%98variable0reference%9variable0reference id;<?< name;<rtpBersion<%9property name;<hasvalue<%true98property%9property name;<plantype<%(inPlan98property%9property name;<passing0method<%)y4ef98property%9property name;<hidden<%false98property%9property name;<type<%$98property%9property name;<application<%(inPlan98property%9property name;<seA0inde!<8%9property name;<value<%<Initial )ase<98property%9property name;<rule0name<%@ew 6mployee 2gg98property%9property name;<allow+issing<%false98property%9property name;<parameter<%true98property%9property name;<seA<%$98property%9property name;<scope<%(inPlan.(inPlan98property%98variable0reference%98variable0references%9script%9" C1D2 2C8. @ameD @ew 6mployee DateD =&-=#-&=#= 2uthorD Harold and Eumar F5sed BP@ connection at 'hilte 1astle83it+oG PurposeD /cript to aggregate the 6ssbase database for the data entered on the H4 @ew 6mployee form.
