How can I save an allocation rule with a different name?
You can save an allocation rule with a different name using Save As. You can also copy a rule from one rule set to another within the same rule set type using Save As.
Save As creates a copy of the original rule with a different name to distinguish it from the original.

-
In the System View, expand the Essbase Application Type, the Application, or Database, and Rules.
-
Right-click the rule you want to save with a different name, and select Open.
-
In the Rule Designer, select File, Save As.
-
In Save As, enter the rule's new name, and select the Application Name.
-
Select the Database.
Note: You cannot change the database of a rule you save with a different name. -
Click OK. The new rule is added to the application list in the System View.
