Importing Rules, Rulesets, Templates, Formulas, and Scripts

Import rules, rulesets, templates, formulas and scripts into your application with Calculation Manager.

After you import, you can save the results of the import to a local file.

To import an object, it must be in one of these file types:

• .xml, a file that contains objects in xml format
• .csc, a file that contains objects in calc script format
• .zip, zip files can only contain xml files

To import objects:

1. In System View, select Actions, and then Import, or click .
2. In the Import dialog box, in File Import Details, click Browse, and then select a file to import.
3. In Location Details, enter an application type, application, and cube.

   • If the file is a .csc file, you must enter location details.

   • If the file is an .xml file, you do not have to enter location details if the location details are already in the import file.

   The information entered in Location Details overrides the location specified in the import file. If no location information is specified in the import file, you must enter information in Location Details; otherwise, the import fails.

4. In Import Options, select one of the following options:

   • Overwrite Existing Objects—Imported objects replace the objects in the application and cube.

   • Skip Existing Objects—Imported objects are added to the objects in the application and cube as long as the object does not already exist; otherwise, the object is not imported, and the status in the results show "skipped."

   • Error Out for Duplicates—If the imported objects duplicate objects that already exist in the application and cube, the names of the duplicate objects are written to the log file, no objects are imported, and the import process stops.

5. Click Import.
6. Optional: Click Save As to save the results of the import to a local file.
