Automating Business Rules with Runtime Prompts

You can automate a business rule that contains runtime prompts so it can be launched from the command line launcher in batch mode.

*  To automate business rules with runtime prompts:

  1. Launch the Administration Console by selecting Start > Programs > Hyperion > Administration Services > Start Administration Services Console.

  2. In the Analytic Administration Services Login dialog box, enter a server name and your user name and password to log on to Administration Services.

  3. In the left navigation frame of Administration Services, expand the Business Rules node. Then expand the Repository View node.

  4. Expand the Rules node.

  5. Right-click the rule you want to automate and select Automate Launch Variables.

    The Automate Launch Variables dialog box is displayed.

    1. In the Execution Database Name text box, enter the name of the database against which you want to launch the business rule. Or click the Search button to search for a database.

    2. If the business rule contains one or more runtime prompts, enter values for them, or click the Search button to search for values.

  6. Click Automate.

    The Save dialog box is displayed.

  7. Enter a name for the file and give it an xml extension. Then click Save.

    The file is saved to the location you specified. The file contains the name of the business rule, the database you want to launch it against, and any runtime prompts.

    Note:

    The file must be an xml file.
