You can manage database locations, and the access privileges of repository objects that are assigned to them, using the Location Editor. You can use the Location Editor to create, edit, and copy database locations, assign new access privileges to locations, copy access privileges from one location to another, and copy business rules from one location to another.
If you are moving from a test to a production environment, you can use the Location Editor to create a new database location for the production environment. Then you can copy all of your business rules and access privileges from the database location in the test environment to the new database location in the production environment. This prevents you from having to assign access privileges to each business rule individually after you copy them to the production environment.
Similarly if your company changes its server name, you can use the Location Editor to add a new database location for the new server name, and copy all of the business rules to that new location. This saves you from having to edit the database location for each business rule individually.
