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.

To save an allocation rule with a different name:

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

2. Right-click the rule you want to save with a different name, and select Open.

3. In the Rule Designer, select File, Save As.

4. In Save As, enter the rule's new name, and select the Application Name.

5. Select the Database.

   Note:

   You cannot change the database of a rule you save with a different name.

6. Click OK. The new rule is added to the application list in the System View.
