Importing Business Rules, Macros, Variables, Sequences, and Projects

You can import repository objects such as business rules, macros, sequences, variables and projects. You can also import any access privileges and database locations that you specified for them. You may want to import objects into the Business Rules repository when you need to move them from another Business Rules repository on another server. You import repository objects from an xml file.

Note:

You can import only repository objects created in this release of Business Rules. You cannot import repository objects that were exported from a previous release of Business Rules.

*  To import repository objects:

  1. Launch the Administration Console by selecting Start > Programs > Hyperion > Administration Services > Start Administration Services Console.

  2. In the Analytic Administration Services Login dialog box, enter a server name and your user name and password to log on to Administration Services.

  3. In the left navigation frame of Administration Services, expand the Business Rules node. Then right-click the Administration node and select Import Business Rules.

    The Import from Business Rules XML File dialog box is displayed.

  4. Navigate to the xml file you want to import, select the file, and click Open.

    If the import is successful, a message is displayed.

    Note:

    If the import is not successful, see the Business Rules log file, hbrclient.log, for details.

  5. If the xml file is imported successfully, you can refresh each of the nodes in Business Rules to see the new business rules, macros, variables, sequences, and projects that you imported.
