Copying a Business Rule to Another Application

You can copy a business rule to another application and calculation, plan type, or database from the System View. When you copy a business rule to another application, you create a new business rule with another name.

Note:

You cannot copy a business rule to the same application. You must use Save As to create a copy of the business rule with a new name, so two business rules with the same name do not exist in the same application.

  To copy and paste a business rule to another application:

  1. In the System View, expand the Financial Management, Planning, or Essbase application type, the application, the calculation type, plan type, or database, and Rules.

  2. Right-click the rule you want to copy, and select Copy To.

  3. In Save As, enter a new name for the business rule or accept the default name, and select an application and calculation, plan type, or database.

    Note:

    You cannot copy to more than one application and calculation, plan type, or database.
