After you export objects from Business Rules (see the Hyperion Business Rules Administrator's Guide) and export objects and applications from Calculation Manager, you can import them into other applications within Calculation Manager. To import objects, they must be in one of these file types:
.All users: xml, a file that contains objects in xml format
Planning users only: .csc, a file that contains objects in Essbase calc script format
Financial Management users only: .cmo, a file that contains objects in ASCII text format
Financial Management users only: .rle, a file that contains objects in Visual Basic format
To import objects:
From the System View, expand the Financial Management, Planning, or Essbase application type.
Select the application into which you want to import the objects.
Click Update Details to enter a Financial Management, Planning, or Essbase application and calculation, plan type, or database into which to import the file.
If the file is a .csc file, you must enter location details.
If the file is an .xml file, you do not have to enter location details, because the location details are in the import file itself.
If the file is an .rle file, and you enter location details, the key word, 'app_name=<name of the application> must be on the first line of the .rle file. For example, 'app_name=Statutory.
If the file is a .cmo file, the application information is included in the key word.
Note:
If you use Update Details to enter an application, and calculation or plan type, name into which to import the file, this location overrides the location in the import file itself. If no location information is contained in the import file, you must use Update Details to enter location information; without location information, the import fails.
Under Import Options, select one of these options:
Overwrite existing objects: The objects you import replace the objects in the application and calculation, plan type, or database.
Skip existing objects: The objects you import are added to the objects in the application and calculation, plan type, or database.
Error out for duplicates: If the objects you import duplicate objects that already exist in the application and calculation, plan type, or database, the names of the duplicate objects are written to the log file, no objects are imported, and the import process stops.
