Copy an Allocation Rule Set to Another Application

From the System View, you can copy an allocation rule set to another application of the same application type (Essbase) or database.

Note: Allocation rule sets aren't supported in Essbase Aggregate Storage or Block Storage applications, other than Aggregate Storage applications used in Oracle General Ledger.

Scenario

Use the following steps to copy a rule set to another application:

1. In the System View, expand the Essbase Application Type and the Application.

2. Expand RuleSets.

   Note: Only one rule set node exists for each application at the same level as the plan types and databases.

3. Right-click the allocation rule set you want to copy, and select Copy To.

4. Select the rule set name, select Edit, Copy, open the rule or rule set into which you want to copy it, and select Edit, Paste.

5. In Save As, enter a new name for the allocation rule set, or accept the default name, and select an application and calculation or plan type. Click OK.

   Note: You cannot copy the allocation rule set to more than one application and calculation or plan type.

The new allocation rule set is added to the application and calculation or plan type that you selected. To see it in the System View, you must refresh the application list. To refresh the application list, click the Refresh icon on the toolbar.
