You can save script and formula components with a different name using Save As. Save As creates a copy of the formula or script component. You may want to create a copy of a component if it is a shared component, and you do not want it to be shared. See Sharing Script and Formula Components (Financial Management, Planning, and Essbase Block Storage Application Users Only).
To save a script or formula component with a different name:
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 Scripts or Formulas. Do one of these tasks:
If you want to save a formula with a different name, right-click the formula, and select Save As.
If you want to save a script with a different name, right-click the script, and select Save As.
In Save As, enter the formula or script's new name and the application name. The application name must be a valid Performance Management Architect application, a Classic Financial Management or Planning application, or an Essbase block storage application. If the formula or script is for Financial Management, select a Calculation Type; if it is for Planning, select a Plan Type; if it is for Essbase, select a Database. Click OK.
Note: | You cannot change the application type of a formula or script you save with a different name. The new formula or script must have the same application type as the old formula or script.Also, if the formula or script is for Financial Management, you cannot change the calculation type. The calculation type of the new formula or script must be the same as the old formula or script. |
After you save it, you may need to refresh the application list in the System View to see the formula or script component. See Refreshing Formula and Script Components (Financial Management, Planning, and Essbase Block Storage Application Users Only).
