Saving Formula and Script Components with a Different Name

You can save script and formula components with a different name using Save As. Save As creates a copy of the formula or script component. You may want to create a copy of a component if it is a shared component, and you do not want it to be shared. See Sharing Script and Formula Components.

Note:

You can save formula and script components created in a Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, Oracle Hyperion Planning, or Oracle Essbase block storage business rule with a different name.

To save a script or formula component with a different name:

  1. In System View, right-click a formula or script, and then select Open.
  2. In the Component Designer, select File, and then Save As.
  3. In Save As, enter the formula or script's new name, and select an application. Then do one of the following:

    • If the formula or script is for Financial Management, select a Calculation Type

    • If the formula or script is for Planning, select a Plan Type

    • If the formula or script is for Essbase, select a Database.

    Note:

    You cannot change the application type of a formula or script you save with a different name. The new formula or script must have the same application type as the old formula or script.Also, if the formula or script is for Financial Management, you cannot change the calculation type. The calculation type of the new formula or script must be the same as the original formula or script.

  4. Click OK.

    After you save it, you may need to refresh the application list in the System View to see the formula or script component. See Refreshing Formula and Script Components.
