Launching a Rule From the Rules View

The Rules view displays all the business rules available to launch. The available business rules are those defined in Business Rules within Administration Services. All business rules in the repository for the server specified in the Logon URL and to which you have launch access are displayed.

*  To launch a business rule:

  1. On the Business Rules Home page, click the plus sign (+) next to Rules and select a rule.

  2. Verify the Execution Database Name.

    The Execution Database Name is the name of the Essbase or Planning database against which you want to launch the rule.

    When you create a rule, you can associate a database for which the rule is valid. This is the database that appears under Execution Database Name. If desired, you can change the database in the Execution Database Name field.

  3. If the rule contains runtime prompts, enter the requested information.

    See Entering Runtime Prompts.

  4. Click Validate to validate the rule.

    If the rule validates with no errors, the Confirmation page displays; otherwise, an error page displays.

  5. Select the desired option on the Confirmation page, and click Launch.

    You can Launch and Await Completion or Launch and Send Email When Complete. See Launch and Await Completion and Launch and Send Email When Complete.
