Copying Rules to a New Rule Set (Mass Edit Page)

This feature is useful if you need to include identical or similar rules in several rule sets. You can copy the rule with a slightly different name and leave it unchanged or modify it. You can select multiple rules to copy at one time to the same rule set.

To copy successfully, the rules must meet these requirements:

  • If a rule uses a rule set context and the rule has dimension members that conflict with members in the target rule set, the rule is not copied. An error displays in the Job log.

  • If a rule with the same name as the selected rule already exists in the target rule set, the rule is copied with a prefix or suffix added to the name to make it unique.

Note:

This action cannot be undone. Oracle recommends that you use the Migration tools for backups if necessary.

To copy a rule to a new rule set:

  1. Display the Mass Edit page of the Designer screen (About the Designer Features).
  2. Search to find rules to modify (Searching For and Filtering Rules (Rules Express Editing Page).
  3. Check the box before the names of target rules to select them, or select all.
  4. Click Actions, and then Copy Rules to New Rule Set.
  5. Select the New Rule Set to receive the copy or copies.
  6. Optional:Enter a Job Comment to display in the Job log.
  7. When settings are complete, click Run.
