Exporting cube rules

We recommend that you export rules (and accelerators) to an XML file. You can also export to a text file. This can be a quick way to edit many rules simultaneously. But it does limit the information that can be imported from the file. For example, do not export rules to a text file if they contain grouped rules, descriptions or if the rules are disabled.

SeeUsing a text editor to edit rules.

To export a cube rule:

  1. Click Cubes in the Database group on the ribbon.
  2. Right-click the cube which contains the rules to export.
  3. Select Rules > Export.
  4. Select XML file.
  5. Specify a file name and location.
  6. Click OK.
    Note: Ensure that the delimiter and the decimal separator are not the same.
