Part II
Just give an idea of what Business Rules are
Business Rules improves the response time to changing business application needs, shortens application development cycles, increases business user productivity, improves reuse of application components, and increases the return on analytic application investments.
You can use Business Rules to create a business rule (graphical or non-graphical) or business rule sequence using macros, variables, commands, and functions.
Benefits of Business Rules
- Macros, help reuse pieces of business rules in other calculations. Macro can contain variables and other macros, but it cannot contain copy of itself.
- The graphical representation of components, actions, formulas, and processes makes it easy to construct business rules in a multidimensional application
- Business rules can be launched from many places including Hyperion Planning, Administration Services
- Business rules can be enabled with runtime prompts to ensure valid inputs from users
- Business rules, sequences, macros, variables can be stored in RDBMS. Use of a central repository makes administration and maintenance of business rules easy
- Pre-defined, custom and reusable formulas
