You can add multiple rules to a location at once. For example, if your company changes the name of its server, you can create a new location for the new server name, then copy all of the business rules from the old location to the new location. This prevents you from having to open each rule individually, and add the new location to it on the Locations tab.
To add business rules to a database location:
Launch the Administration Console by selecting Start > Programs > Hyperion > Administration Services > Start Administration Services Console.
In the Analytic Administration Services Login dialog box, enter the Administration Services server name and your user name and password to log on to Administration Services. Then click OK.
In the left navigation frame of Administration Services, expand the Business Rules node. Then expand the Administration node.
Expand the Locations node.
Under the Locations node, right-click the location for which you want to add business rules and select Open.
The Location Editor is displayed. It lists the user/group types, the user/group names, the repository object types, the repository objects names, and the access privileges for this location.
Click Add Rules.
The Add to Location dialog box is displayed. It lists all of the rules you can add to this location.
In the Add to Location dialog box, select the check boxes next to the names of the business rules you want to add to this location.
Click OK to add the rules you selected.
