Copying and Pasting a Member Block Component (Planning and Essbase Block Storage Application Users Only)

You can copy a member block component from a rule or template and paste it into the same, or a different, rule or template. You cannot copy a member block component and paste it into another member block component or another component type.

  To copy a member block component from the Rule Designer or Template Designer:

  1. In the System View, expand the Planning or Essbase application type, the application, and the plan type (for Planning), or the database (for Essbase). Then do one of these, depending on whether the member block is in a rule or a template:

    • If the member block is in a rule, expand Rules, right-click the rule that you want to open, and select Open.

    • If the member block is in a template, expand Templates, right-click the template that you want to open, and select Open.

  2. In the Rule Designer or Template Designer, select the member block component that you want to copy in the flow chart.

  3. Select Edit, Copy.

  4. Do one of these tasks:

    • To paste the member block component into the same business rule or template, right-click the location in the flow chart where you want to paste it, and select Paste.

    • To paste the member block component into a different business rule or template, open the business rule or template into which you want to paste the component, right-click the location in the flow chart where you want to paste it, and select Paste.

  5. Select File, Save.
