Rules files are used for data loading or dimension building. You can copy a rules file to all databases of an application or to one database of an application.
You can copy a rules file to any application on any Essbase Server instance for which you have appropriate permissions and to the server instance and application on which the rules file resides or to a different server instance and application.
In the following boxes, you identify to where you are copying the rules file:
Essbase Server
Application
Database—Select a database, or select <all dbs>.
In the “Rules file name” box, you enter a name for the copy. For length limitations, see the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide. By default, rules files are assigned .rul extensions.
