Hyperion Business Rules or HBR comes along with the Essbase Administration Services installation. It was a seperate product before but now it has been clubbed into EAS.
There are 4 main options in HBR. They are
1. Rules – A rule typically runs a specific calculation/allocation on a single Essbase Database. It can be extended quite extensively to include advanced calculation scripts.
2. Sequence – A sequence basically helps in sequencing a list of rules based on business requirements. It basically provides an order to the Rules execution.
3. Macros – Macros are like mini rules which can be reused across multiple rules.
4. Global Variables – Global Variables are nothing but a set of variables that provide a global context to the variable values.
