Copying Business Rules

You can copy a business rule to another application and plan type. When you copy a business rule to another application, you create a new business rule with another name. Any variables used in the business rule are also copied to the new application.

To copy a business rule to another application and plan type:

1. In System View, right-click a rule, and then select Copy To.
2. In Copy To, enter a new name for the business rule or accept the default name, and select an application, application type, and plan type.

   You cannot copy a business rule to more than one application and plan type.

3. If you copy a business rule with shared components to another application, and you want to copy the shared components to that application, select Copy Shared Components.

   This creates the shared components in the copied application, and the copied rule uses the shared components from its application and plan type. If you do not select Copy Shared Components, the shared components are copied in the rule, but the copied rule uses the shared components from the original rule's application and plan type.

   When you copy a business rule that has variables to another application, the variables are created in the copied to application. If the variables already exist in the copied to application, the variables are created as rule level variables when copied.

4. If you copy shared components, select Replace Existing Objects to overwrite objects with the same name.
