Migrating Business Rule Security

If your upgraded application used Oracle Hyperion Business Rules, administrators can migrate launch access permissions on business rules and their projects from Business Rules to Oracle Hyperion Calculation Manager business rules in Oracle Hyperion Planning using the HBRMigrateSecurity.cmd utility.

The HBRMigrateSecurity.cmd utility:

  • Overwrites launch access permissions that are already assigned to business rules in the specified Planning application.

  • Migrates access permissions only for users and groups that are provisioned for the specified Planning application in Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Console.

Note:

Because Business Rules is no longer supported in Planning and Calculation Manager is the only option, the Calculation Module setting was removed from the System Settings page.

To migrate access permissions on business rules and their folders:

  1. Before running HBRMigrateSecurity.cmd:

    • Migrate business rules from Business Rules to Calculation Manager. See the Oracle Hyperion Calculation Manager Designer's Guide.

    • Deploy the business rules to Planning.

  2. At the command line, from the planning1 directory, enter this command and its parameters, separating each by a space:

    HBRMigrateSecurity.cmd [-f:passwordFile] /A:appname /U:admin /F:output file

    For the full path to planning1, see About EPM Oracle Instance.

    Optional: If an encrypted password file is set up, use as the first parameter in the command line to read the password from the full file path and name specified in passwordFile. See Suppressing Password Prompts in Planning Utilities.
