Hyperion® Business Rules Release 9.2.1 Readme
Note: Any references in the documentation to the Oracle E -Delivery site pertain if your site
has access.
Purpose
This document includes important, late-breaking information about this release of Oracle’s
Hyperion® Business Rules (Business Rules). Review this information thoroughly before installing
Business Rules.
New Features
The following topics describe the new features for this release of Business Rules and for the 9.2
release.
Migrate Identities
The Migrate Identities feature updates old identity attributes in the Business Rules repository
with new attributes from Shared Services. This feature enables movement of user ids across
organizational units (OUs) and duplicate common names in different OUs. See the Hyperion
System 9 Shared Services User Management Guide for configuration information and a list of
identity attributes for external providers.

Hyperion® Business Rules Release 9.2.1 Readme
Note: Before you run Migrate Identities, run the UpdateNativeDir utility in Shared Services.
See the Hyperion System 9 Shared Services 9.2.0.3 Documentation Addendum and the
Hyperion Shared Services Installation Guide.
You can access the migrate identities function using the Migrate Identities button in the
Business Rules node within Administration Services.
1. Select Start > Programs > Hyperion System 9 BI+ > Analytic Administration
Services > Administration Console.
2. On Analytic Administration Services Login, enter a server name, or select one from the
drop-down list. Then enter your user name and password, and click OK.
The Administration Services Administration Console window displays with Business Rules
collapsed in the left frame of the window.
3. In the left navigation frame of Administration Services, expand the Business Rules node.
5. In Migrate Identities results window, review the results of the migration, and click OK.
Note: If Planning is installed, clicking the Migrate Identities button in Planning automatically
migrates identities to Business Rules in addition to Planning.

Hyperion® Business Rules Release 9.2.1 Readme
• In the Rule Editor, run-time prompts are separated from other variables on a Run-time
Prompts tab. You can reorder the run-time prompts, hide them from display during
validation and launch, and associate global run-time prompts with a business rule.
• In the Sequence Editor, the Launch Variable Values functionality is now on a separate
tab, Launch Variables. If a sequence has more than one occurrence of a launch variable
(for example, multiple prompts for “Execution Database name?”), you can merge all
occurrences so only the first occurrence of the launch variable is displayed during
validation and launch.
• For variables, if you have a Planning outline selected, you can select a Planning Smart
List option as the variable type. A Smart List is a custom list of textual options that users
can select from a data cell on a Planning data form, instead of entering a data value into
the data cell. (There is a data value associated with each option; the data value is stored
in the database.) For example, you can set up an integer Smart List for a reporting cycle
that has values 1-5, for Yearly (1), Quarterly (2), Monthly (3), Daily (4), and Hourly (5).
A user can select “Monthly” from the list and the number three is stored in the database.
This prevents users from having to remember the stored values.
Note: If there are multiple registrations of Administration Services with Shared Services, the
last configuration will be saved and used when Planning is registered with Shared Services.
Planning leverages the HBRServer.properties file that is registered with Shared Services as
part of the Administration Services configuration. Additionally, in the Create Planning
properties file task within Oracle’s Hyperion® Configuration Utility™ (Hyperion Configuration
Utility), for Planning configuration you no longer need to enable Business Rules and fill in the
appropriate Administration Services/Business Rules connections. This information is now
managed within the HBRServer.properties file that Planning reads from Shared Services.
5
Hyperion® Business Rules Release 9.2.1 Readme
This release of Business Rules includes the following changed system requirements for Hyperion
products:
• Support for Oracle’s Hyperion® Essbase® - System 9 (Essbase), Release 9.2.1; continuing
support for Oracle’s Hyperion® Essbase™ (Essbase) 7.x and higher
Installation Updates
This section includes important installation information for Oracle’s Enterprise Performance
Management System (EPM System), third party products and Unix, and information about
installing Shared Services, Essbase, and Administration Services (which installs Business Rules
automatically). Before you begin to install Administration Services, read all of the installation
instructions in the Essbase Administration Services Installation Guide.
Unless specifically stated in the installation documentation, Intel Itanium processors are not
supported for any platform. See the “Planning the Administration Services Installation” chapter
in the product installation guides for information about processor support.
6
Hyperion® Business Rules Release 9.2.1 Readme
On the Shared Services registration panel of Hyperion Configuration Utility, you can enter only
English alphanumeric characters and the following special characters in the Server field:
• Dash ( - )
• Underscore ( _ )
• Dot (.)
Because of a known issue with WebLogic 8.1 using a Turkish operating system, Hyperion
products cannot be deployed to WebLogic 8.1 in a Turkish operating system environment. You
must switch the locale to English and then deploy the product. (1-237420421)
If you are deploying to Apache Tomcat as a Windows service on a supported 64-bit platform,
the computer hosting Tomcat must have a 32-bit JDK installation.
On the Country Selection Panel in the installer, do not choose "Japan" as the language if you
are installing on an operating system that does not recognize Japanese characters. Instead,
choose the "Other" country option to ensure that the license panel in the installer displays
correctly.
On UNIX platforms, set the number of operating system file descriptors to at least 1024 to
avoid possible issues with application server deployment. Refer to your operating system
documentation for information on using the Limit command to increase this setting. You should
modify the file descriptors setting before launching Hyperion Configuration Utility.
7
Hyperion® Business Rules Release 9.2.1 Readme
On UNIX platforms, if you are using the IBM WebSphere application server, ensure that you use
the same account to install, deploy, and execute EPM System products that you use to install
WebSphere. Using the same account ensures that Hyperion Configuration Utility can
successfully deploy Oracle’s Hyperion products to WebSphere.
Installing on UNIX
Hyperion recommends that all of Oracle’s Hyperion applications be installed as the same user
on UNIX platforms.
All of Oracle’s Hyperion products install common third-party and internal components under
HYPERION_HOME. To ensure that installers have the permissions required to modify the
HYPERION_HOME location on UNIX platforms, Hyperion recommends that all of Oracle’s
Hyperion applications be installed under the same HYPERION user account on UNIX platforms.
Upgrading Essbase
This release of Business Rules supports Essbase Analytic Services 7.x or higher. (The current
release is Essbase, Release 9.2.1) If you are using an earlier release of Essbase, you need to
upgrade to a supported release. Release 9.2.1 is available on the Oracle E - Delivery site.
To configure Administration Services and Business Rules, and to provision users and groups,
you need to install, or upgrade to, Shared Services, Release 9.2.1. See the Hyperion Shared
Services Installation Guide.
Administration Services is the administration tool for managing and maintaining Essbase.
Administration Services consists of a client console (Administration Console) and a middle tier
application server that communicates directly with Essbase.
Note: Business Rules is installed automatically with Administration Services and is accessible
from within the Administration Console.
You need to upgrade to this release of Administration Services after you upgrade Essbase. For
more information on installing Administration Services, see the Essbase Administration Services
Installation Guide, which has detailed instructions for installing and upgrading Administration
Services on either Windows or UNIX operating systems. This release of Administration Services
is available on the Oracle E - Delivery site.
Note: Before you install this release of Administration Services, uninstall the previous release;
also uninstall any previous releases of Business Rules. For more information on uninstalling
these products, see the Essbase Administration Services Installation Guide.

Hyperion® Business Rules Release 9.2.1 Readme
Known Issues
The following sections describe known issues (and work-arounds, where necessary) for
Administration Services, Business Rules, and Oracle’s other Hyperion products and processes
you use with them.
On the application server panel in Hyperion Configuration Utility, WebSphere 6 and WebLogic 9
are displayed as choices for auto-deployment. WebSphere 6 and WebLogic 9 can only be
deployed manually for this release. Do not select the auto-deployment option for WebSphere 6
or for WebLogic 9. Follow the instructions in the product installation guide to manually deploy to
these application server versions. (6589838, 6589839)
When running Hyperion Configuration Utility after upgrading products from release 9.0 to
release 9.2.1, the product selection page may display multiple listings for a product or may not
list the product you are trying to configure. If this problem occurs, perform these steps:
c:\hyperion\common\config\product\planning\9.2.1
For example, if the directory contains two files named planning_1.xml and planning_2.xml,
delete the older file.
On UNIX platforms, application server deployment or Web server configuration tasks may fail if
the temporary folder (as defined by the TEMP environment variable) contains *-build.xml files
created by another user. Ensure that *-build.xml files do not exist in the temporary folder
before running Hyperion Configuration Utility. (1-246275191)
9
Hyperion® Business Rules Release 9.2.1 Readme
In product installers and Hyperion Configuration Utility, hostnames (computer names) should
not be localized and should be entered in English only. For example, when registering with
Shared Services in Hyperion Configuration Utility, the Shared Services server name should be
entered in English. (1- 215194141)
Some product installers display an incorrect translation of the Cancel button. (1-232246171)
On UNIX platforms, if you run an installer in graphical mode and see square blocks on the
interface, run the installer in console mode. This problem occurs on Linux, AIX, and HP-UX for
these locales: Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. (1-225327495)
Oracle’s Hyperion® Home Migration Utility (Hyperion Home Migration Utility) does not read the
Hyperion Home environment variable even though it is already set. To migrate again, first open
and close a command window before starting migration a second time. This ensures that the
most recent Hyperion Home environment variable is displayed. This problem occurs only in the
following languages: Dutch, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, and Russian. (1-
203998684)
User Management Console does not open when launched from the Windows Start menu
shortcut (Windows XP, Korean operating system, WebSphere 5.1.1.7 only). Use the URL
http://localhost:58080/interop/index.jsp to launch the console instead of using the Start
menu. (1-241779801)
Using a Portuguese operating system, the drop-down list on the Language Selection panel in
the installer incorrectly displays Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Portuguese
selections in Portuguese characters. All other language selections are displayed in English. (1-
220188376)
Using a Turkish Linux operating system, several languages on the Language Selection panel in
the installer are incorrectly displayed in English instead of Turkish. (1-230485951)
10
Hyperion® Business Rules Release 9.2.1 Readme
On AIX 5.2 with an Italian locale, the drop-down list on the Language Selection panel in the
installer is displayed behind the display window. (1-242110895)
Using a Russian operating system, the OK button on the Language Selection panel in the
installer is displayed in English rather than Russian. (1-228824221)
Using a Russian keyboard to press keyboard shortcuts in the installers and Hyperion
Configuration Utility does not work. (1-205984971)
Using a Russian operating system or a Simplified Chinese operating system on HP-UX Itanium,
incorrect Russian characters are displayed when running Hyperion Configuration Utility, the
Hyperion Home Migration Utility, or Oracle’s Hyperion® License Server™ (Hyperion License
Server) installer in console mode. (1-206616898)
Due to an InstallShield bug, if you try to install Administration Services and Business Rules on a
computer on which PC Anywhere is installed, Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which is installed
automatically with Administration Services and Business Rules, does not install. To resolve this,
uninstall PC Anywhere before you install Administration Services and Business Rules. After you
complete the installation, reinstall PC Anywhere.
External Authentication
• Microsoft Active Directory sp2 and earlier releases of Hyperion applications are known to
have connectivity issues over SSL. To resolve such issues, refer to:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q320711
11
Hyperion® Business Rules Release 9.2.1 Readme
Business Rules
The following are known issues for this release of Business Rules.
• When you create a graphical rule with an XREF component, after you save the rule, the
Source tab displays only the dimensions that are valid for both applications and does not
display dimensions that are valid for one application only.
• You cannot use the Command Line Launcher to launch a sequence with several business
rules containing runtime prompt variables. To work around this, put the business rules
comprising the sequences into a .bat or .sh file to launch them.
• If you have Administration Services running on an Oracle 10g application server, when
you launch a business rule with runtime prompts on the Web Launcher, you may receive
the following error message when you try to make a selection using the Member
Selection lookup button, “Page not found.” To work around this, don't use localhost as
the server name when you launch the Web Launcher, and make sure port 7777 is open.
• If you configure Administration Services and Planning at the same time, the
HBRServer.properties file in the Planning deployment folder is not updated. To avoid
this, configure Administration Services before you configure Planning. If you configured
Administration Services and Planning at the same time, run the Create Planning
properties file task in Hyperion Configuration Utility again to update the
HBRServer.properties file. For more information, see the “Configuring Planning”
chapter of the Hyperion Planning – System 9 Installation Guide for this release.
• Before you add a Pro Rata Ratio formula component to a graphical business rule, you
need to associate the business rule with an outline. If you do not associate the business
rule with an outline first, you may receive a “NullPointerException” error message and
need to recreate the rule.
• If you have a sequence with one or more business rules that contain hidden run-time
prompts, you may not be able to launch the sequence. To resolve this, do not hide the
run-time prompts within the rules themselves; instead, hide the rule’s run-time prompts
on the Launch Variables tab for the sequence.
12
Hyperion® Business Rules Release 9.2.1 Readme
• If you use Save As to save a business rule with the same name, but at least one letter in
a different case (upper/lower), the rule may be corrupted, and you may receive the
following error: “<name> already exists. Do you want to replace it?” If you answer
“Yes,” you may receive the following error: "Error retrieving rule with id 24 for browse."
This error is displayed whenever you try to open the original rule. If you log off, then log
on again, the rule is not listed in the Rules node of the Administration Console.
• If you create a business rule with a run-time prompt that has a limit, and, while
automating the run-time prompt, give it a value outside of the limit, the rule launches
successfully using the Command Line Launcher, even though the value of is outside of
the limit.
• If the Administration Services server is running on an AIX operating system, and you are
using Tomcat as your application server, you may receive errors when you try to access
the Business Rules Web Launcher Logon page. To resolve this:
• If you add a business rule with no access privileges to a project, and specify access
privileges of “Cannot launch all locations” for the project, then add the same business
rule to another project that has access privileges to launch against one location, the
business rule does not launch against any locations. In this case, the access privileges of
the first project to which the business rule is assigned take precedence over the access
privileges of the second project to which it is assigned.
• When you create a sequence using one or more sequences that contain rules with run-
time prompts, and select hide check boxes for some of the run time prompts, some of
the member selections may show incorrect dimensions and members. To resolve this,
type in the correct values.
• The Aggregate Data component does not function correctly when more than one account
member is selected. For example, you can create a business rule using the component
Aggregate Data, and then select the Account Members variable in the Account Member
Selection window. If you then click Validate and select Exempt Total Payroll and Total
Payroll, the rule is not validated and an error is displayed.
• When you validate business rules with variables of the Saved Selection type against
Planning database locations, the members are not validated against the members to
which the user has access privileges in the Planning database location.
13
Hyperion® Business Rules Release 9.2.1 Readme
Aggregating Data
• The Derived option in the Aggregate Data component does not use the correct member
values. If you specify values in a source anywhere in the task flow, those values are
displayed. Destination values are displayed only if you have no sources defined.
• Business rules containing the Two-Pass calculation option of the Aggregate Data component
produce an Essbase error message.
Creating Blocks
The database size preview estimates in the Create Blocks dialog box does not reflect that blocks
are not created for Dynamic Calc and Label Only members.
Formulas
• Validation errors may occur with Business Rules that contain remote (XREF) sources where
the dimension names are similar to the current database but the member values contained
in the databases differ.
• When using the Variable component, ensure that the default members selected in the
formula range are not Dynamic Calc or Shared members. If a Shared member is selected,
you receive a validation error message. If a Dynamic Calc member is selected, you receive
an error message when launching the business rule.
• Hyperion recommends that if you are going to associate calc scripts or business rules with a
form, you should either do so where all users of that form have access to those calc scripts
or business rules, or create a generic business rule using run-time prompts, and instruct the
user to launch it manually.
14
Hyperion® Business Rules Release 9.2.1 Readme
Defects Fixed
The following change requests were resolved and included in this and prior releases of Business
Rules.
• If you add a user to a native group and an external group, provision the groups to
Planning with the role of Planner, and refresh the access privileges in Planning, the user
is listed twice on the Users tab in the Business Rules node of Administration Services. If
you give access privileges for a business rule to the external group only, and log on to
Planning, the rule is not visible; if you give access privileges to the native group only,
the rule is visible in Planning.
• 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).
• Grant access changes made in Planning should also be made in Business Rules.
• During migration of sequences to a new server, the Execution Database Name field (and
any information in it) on the Launch Variables tab in the Sequence Editor is not migrated
to the destination server.
• When you try to save a macro that contains two macros, an error message is displayed,
and you cannot save the macro.
• When user and group identities are in mixed case (upper and lower) and both users and
groups are provisioned to Business Rules, users are unable to see business rules in
Planning Web. If the configuration property, HBR_IDENTITY_IS_CASESENSITIVE, is not in
the HBRServer.properties file or is set to false, user and group identities are compared
regardless of their case. If the property is set to true, identities are treated in a case-
sensitive manner.
15
Hyperion® Business Rules Release 9.2.1 Readme
• If you create a business rule and try to assign access privileges to users in the Access
Privileges dialog box, the users in the Selected list may not be the users you chose from
the Available list.
• If you provision a user, then log on to Administration Services with the user name in a
different case than the one that you provisioned, you may not be able to select a
database outline.
• Prior to this release, runtime prompts of the Percent and Real types with a numeric
default value of more than three decimal places displayed only three decimal places in
the Administration Console. Now runtime prompts of the Percent and Real types with a
numeric default value of more than three decimal places display up to 16 decimal places
in the Administration Console.
• Users without database manager access rights in Essbase can open and view business
rules, but cannot launch or validate them using Business Rules Web Launcher.
• You may not receive an error message if you try to migrate business rules from an
Oracle repository to the same Oracle repository (that is, when the source and target
Oracle repositories are the same).
• The Business Rules logon fails when you try to log on to the Administration Services
Web console at http://server:port/easconsole/console.html.
• Entering a very high value (for example, 2,600,000,000) into a runtime prompt can
produce a slightly different value in Essbase. Entered numbers have only 8 digits of
precision.
• The Essbase user IDs and passwords are stored as unencrypted text in the
Administration Services HBRPLUGINDATA repository table.
• If you create a macro within a macro, or insert a macro in a business rule, when you
save it and try to reopen the macro, you may receive an error message before the
macro opens. When the macro opens, only two the Source and Parameters tabs are
displayed.
• If you have more than one repository on the same server, you may not be able to
connect to a repository when you try to migrate it; only the first connection is
maintained.
• If you add multiple off-site domains to the search order in Shared Services, the
Administration Services server may restart more slowly than usual.
16
Hyperion® Business Rules Release 9.2.1 Readme
Business Rules does not support the standalone version of Oracle’s Hyperion® System™ 9
BI+™ Analytic High Availability Services™ (Analytic High Availability Services). Only the
embedded version of Analytic High Availability Services, which is installed automatically during
the Administration Services installation, is supported for Business Rules.
• If you do not select a database outline for one of the business rules in a sequence and
you specify to hide the execution database prompt in the Sequence Editor, and then
launch the sequence from Planning Web, you are prompted to enter the execution
database even though you hid it in the Sequence Editor. To resolve this, select an
outline for the rule and save it again.
• In the Multiple and Single Member Selection dialog boxes, you cannot copy members
from, or paste members to, the Selected Values list.
• When you create a rule with a global run-time prompt variable of the integer or Smart
List type, and select to allow missing values for the run-time prompt, when you run the
rule and do not enter a value for the run-time prompt (i.e., you leave it blank), you may
receive the error message: “Launch value must be specified.”
• The Submit button in the Select Smart List dialog box does not work if you are using the
Web Launcher on the Mozilla FireFox 1.0.7 Web browser.
• When you create a business rule using a cluster in a 4.1.1 repository, migrate the
business rule to another 4.1.1 repository, and open the migrated business rule, you can
see the cluster under the Clusters tab, but may not see the locations in the cluster.
• When you create a sequence and merge the run-time prompt variables, then create
another sequence and add the first sequence to it, the run-time prompts for the first
sequence are not displayed as merged run-time prompts. If you reopen the sequence,
the run-time prompts are displayed as merged run-time prompts.
• When you create a business rule sequence with run-time prompts, and open the rule in
Web Launcher, the run-time prompts in the rule may display a Smart List associated
with them, even though there is no Smart List associated with them. To resolve
this, type the integer/real value or member names.
17
Hyperion® Business Rules Release 9.2.1 Readme
• If you are using WebSphere 5.1.1 or Oracle 10g, you may receive the following error
message when you launch a business rule from the Business Rules Web Launcher:
OracleJSP: oracle.jsp.parse.JspParseException: Line # 49, <jsp:param name=""
value=""></jsp:param>.
• If you use advanced selection to set limits for a variable (for example, a combination of
OR, AND, AND NOT), you cannot edit these limits.
• A provisioned user may not be able to log on to Business Rules if this user belongs to a
group that has no assigned role. To resolve this, assign a role to the group to which the
user belongs.
• When you try to migrate repository objects that have dependencies (for example, a
business rule with a local variable) a second time, and click the Dependencies button in
the Migrate Repository window for any of these repository objects, the dependencies are
not selected. To resolve this, close the Migrate Repository window and reopen it.
• Local and global Use by Value variables with a type of member or members are not
available for selection when you are creating a graphical business rule.
• If you define access privileges for a user in Planning, log on to the Administration
Console as a Planning administrator and create a custom business rule, and try to
launch the rule in Planning, the run-time prompt member selection may incorrectly filter
out members to which the user has access privileges and the rule may not launch
successfully.
• If you have a business rule that runs against a Planning database location and you add a
Create Blocks action to it, the database size is not updated when you click the Update
button.
• In the database outline, a plus sign is displayed next to all members, even if the
members do not have any children. When you click a member that does not have any
children, the plus sign disappears.
• In the Multiple Member Selection dialog box, you cannot select multiple members in the
Available list using the CTRL and Shift keys. You can only select one member at a time.
• If you make a member selection that contains a generic function that is not recognized
as one of Oracle’s Hyperion® Essbase® - System 9 functions (for example,
@descendants_including), the rule using the selection may not validate or launch
successfully. When this rule is parsed to find run-time prompts, the parse fails, and no
run-time prompts are found. The user is not prompted to enter a run-time prompt value,
so a “variable not found” error message is generated at launch or validate time.
18
Hyperion® Business Rules Release 9.2.1 Readme
rules from validating. To resolve this, log off of Administration Services, then log on
again.
Creating Blocks
Do not use the Create Blocks component on a partitioned database. Performing this action on a
partitioned database may cause Business Rules to freeze.
Miscellaneous
• Statistical or ratio type member values (for example, prices and percentage data types)
should be back-calculated for Summary Time Periods (for example, Quarters) using a
business rule.
• If you are adding an @TODATE function, use double quotation marks to enclose the second
parameter.
• If you are adding an @WITHATTR function, enter an attribute dimension for the first
parameter and use double quotation marks to enclose the second parameter.
Using Formulas
• The following financial functions cannot be used together with any other source type in a
formula:
@NPV, @ACCUM, @COMPOUND, @COMPOUNDGROWTH, @DISCOUNT, @INTEREST, @IRR,
and @SLN
These functions should be the only block to the right of the equal sign in a formula, because
they never return values. They calculate a series of values internally based on the range
specified. For more detail on these functions, see the Hyperion System 9 BI+ Analytic
Services Technical Reference Guide.
19
Hyperion® Business Rules Release 9.2.1 Readme
• The following functions are not valid with NOT in the Advanced Selection of Multiple Member
Selection:
@ALLANCESTORS
@IALLANCESTORS
@LSIBLINGS
@ILSIBLINGS
@RSIBLINGS
@IRSIBLINGS
@MATCH
@RELATIVE
@ATTRIBUTE
• If you install Oracle’s Essbase® Administration Services on an AIX operating system, and
want to use the Business Rules Web Launcher, the root AIX user must install JDK separately
using the AIX built-in utility, installp or smit. After it is installed, you must point JAVA_HOME
to it.
• If you have difficulty with your color settings in Business Rules, Hyperion recommends that
you increase your Display Properties color depth setting.
