Entering Runtime Prompts

If you are unfamiliar with Planning, see the Oracle Hyperion Planning User's Guide, available on the EPM Documentation Library. To open this library, from the Smart View ribbon, click the arrow next to Help, and then EPM Documentation.

When launched, a business rule can prompt you to enter variable information, called a runtime prompt. The business rule designer sets up runtime prompts.

To enter a runtime prompt:

Launch a business rule having a runtime prompt.

Enter or select the input type specified by the runtime prompt, summarized in the following table:

Icon	Expected Input Type
	One member selection
	Multiple member selections
	Numeric value (either entered or selected from cell drop-down menu)
	Text value—Use only with enhanced calculation scripts, not with graphical scripts
	Dimension from the database—Use only with enhanced calculation scripts, not with graphical scripts
	For Calculation Manager business rules only: A member or member combination that includes only one member from each dimension the designer has set for this runtime prompt (for example: Sales -> Actual -> Jan refers to the member intersection of Sales, Actual, and January)
	For Calculation Manager business rules only: A range of members, selectable from each dimension the designer has set for this runtime prompt (for example: IDescendants(“Marketing”),FY08)

Ensure that the runtime prompts are valid. You cannot launch a business rule until all runtime prompt values are valid.

Click Launch.
If the calculation is successful, the values in the database reflect the calculation results.
