Launching a Business Rule

While you work in Business Rules, you can launch a business rule that you saved. You select the business rule from the list of business rules under the Rules node, enter any required runtime prompts, and launch the business rule.

Note:

You need to have access privileges to a business rule before you can launch it. For more information about granting access privileges to a rule, see Adding or Editing Access Privileges for a Business Rule.

To launch a business rule:

Launch the Administration Console by selecting Start > Programs > Hyperion > Administration Services > Start Administration Services Console.
In the Analytic Administration Services Login dialog box, enter a server name and your user name and password to log on to Administration Services.
In the left navigation frame of Administration Services, expand the Business Rules node. Then expand the Repository View node.
Expand the Rules node, and do one of the following:
- Double-click the business rule you want to launch. When the business rule opens in the Rule Editor with the syntax of the rule displayed, click Launch.
  The Launch dialog box is displayed.
- Right-click the business rule you want to launch, and select Launch.
  The Launch dialog box is displayed.
In the Launch dialog box, do the following:
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.
  Note:
  A value for a runtime prompt may be entered by default. If so, you can accept the default, enter a new value, or search for a new value.
Click Launch. If there are any launch errors, Business Rules displays error messages for them. If you want more information about the error messages, click Get Detail.
Click OK to return to the Rule Editor.
