Updating Business Rules References to a Rehosted Essbase or Planning Server

You must perform Essbase Server rehosting steps before you perform this step. See Updating References to a Rehosted Essbase Server .

If the Essbase or Planning server was rehosted, update the Business Rules connection information against which rules and sequences are launched. This task is required any time the Essbase or Planning server is hosted on a new computer (for example, after an upgrade).

  To update Business Rules references to a rehosted Essbase or Planning server:

  1. From the Administration Services Console, from the Oracle Hyperion Business Rules menu, select Administration, and then Update Connections.

  2. Select the connection type — Essbase or Planning — from the Server Type list.

    For Planning, the list includes the active Planning servers in the rehosted or upgraded environment. A Planning server is listed only after you have logged in to the Planning application.

  3. From the bottom portion of the screen, select the server or servers that you want to modify.

    You can also select Select All or Deselect All.

  4. Specify the new server name, and click Apply to Selected.

    Enter the server name as a Provider Services URL, as an Essbase cluster name, or in the format host:port. Port is optional; if you do not specify it, the default is used. The server name is not validated, so make sure you enter the name correctly.

    Note:

    If you want to revert to the last saved values, click Reset. You cannot reset values after you click Save.

  5. Click Save, and then click OK when prompted to continue.

    The time required to make the changes depends on the number of rules. During this process, business rules, including security that is associated with the server, are updated to refer to the new server.

    If you want to revert to your last saved state, click Reset.

  6. Click Close to close the Confirmation dialog box.

  7. Repeat these steps for each server that was rehosted.

  8. When you are finished, click Close.

  9. Restart the Planning and Administration Services servers.

When you are done with this step, return to the Upgrading Checklist.
