Changing Formula and Script Components from Shared to Not Shared (Financial Management, Planning, and Essbase Block Storage Application Users Only)

Before you change a shared formula or script component to not shared, you must ensure that it is not used in more than one business rule or template. You can use the Show Usages feature to see which business rules and templates use the formula or script component. (See Showing the Usages of Formula and Script Components (Financial Management, Planning, and Essbase Block Storage Application Users Only).) Then you can create copies of the shared component for each business rule and template in which it is used by clearing the Shared check box for the component from within the rules and templates.

  To change a formula or script component from shared to not shared:

  1. In the System View, expand the Financial Management, Planning, or Essbase application type, the application, the calculation type (for Financial Management), the plan type (for Planning), or the database (for Essbase), and Rules or Templates, depending on whether the shared formula or script component is in a rule or a template.

  2. Right-click the rule or template, and select Open.

  3. In the Rule Designer or Template Designer, do one of these tasks:

    • If you do not want to share a formula or script component you are adding to a flow chart, after you drag the formula or script component into the flow chart, clear Shared on Properties.

    • If you do not want to share a formula or script component that is already in the flow chart, select the component in the flow chart, and clear Shared on Properties.

    This creates a copy of the component in the rule or template.

  4. Select File, Save.
