Step 10: Saving the data load rules file
Now that you have validated the data load rules file, and there are no errors, you
can save the rules file. Remember to use the proper Essbase 8 character naming
convention while saving the rules file. You can save the rules file in your local file
system or on the Essbase server using the Essbase file system. We prefer to save
all of the files on the Essbase server. The rule files will be saved with the
.rul
ile
extension in
Application|Database
directory on the Essbase server.
Whatever place you choose to save your data load rules files, always
try to be consistent to make things easier. Consistently saving files in
the same location, or consistently naming Essbase database objects,
only makes sense and provides easier and less costly support.
To save the data load rules file with the Essbase default extension of
.rul
:
1.
In EAS, open the
Data Prep Editor.
2.
Click on
File | Save
button to save the file.
