Copying Outlines

To copy an outline from one database to another database, perform a Save As to the new database. You can copy an outline to the file system directory or to the Essbase location of an existing database.

You cannot copy an outline from a block storage database to an aggregate storage database, and vice versa.

Caution!

Do not use the file system to copy outline files manually, especially between block storage and aggregate storage databases.

  To copy a complete outline from one database to another database:

  1. Open an Outline.

  2. Select File, then Save as.

  3. In the Save As dialog box, specify the file system location or the Essbase location to which to save the outline.

  4. In the message about replacing the existing file, select Yes.
