The Save Selection Object dialog box enables you to save selection rules you created so that you can recall the selection rules at a later date. Essbase saves selection rules in a rules format with the extension SEL, not in explicit member lists, making them dynamic and able to incorporate outline changes.
Changes to an outline may cause the selection rules objects to become obsolete. Essbase cannot automatically detect whether a selection rules object is obsolete based on the outline.
Having access permissions of Database Designer or higher enables you to save data to the server. Contact your System Administrator.
