Copying Rules Into a

Use the COPY command to copy rules into a selected ruleset. The ruleset must
already contain at least one rule of the type you want to copy. Proceed as follows:
1. At any => prompt, type =R.6 and press ENTER to access Rule Maintenance. The
RMS : Rule Maintenance panel appears.
a. Specify the name of the ruleset into which to copy rules in the Ruleset field. If
you wish to be prompted by a selection list panel, ensure that the field is
blank.
b. Select the appropriate option to access the rules (for example, option 1 for
message action rules). If a selection list panel appears, select the appropriate
ruleset by typing an S next to the name of the ruleset and pressing ENTER.
The selected rules maintenance panel appears (for example, RMS : Message
Action Rules Maintenance panel).
2. Select option 2 to access Display/Modify/Delete/Add With Model (you can leave
the Selection Key field as it is). A rule selection list panel appears.
3. At the Command prompt, type COPY and press ENTER. The RMS : Select Ruleset
panel appears.
4. Type an S next to the name of the ruleset from which to copy rules and press
ENTER. A rule selection list panel appears. The title of the panel identifies the
rulesets involved in the copy operation.
5. Type an S next to the names of the rules to copy. Press ENTER to start copying the
rules. A rule is flagged as **COPIED** if the operation is successful. If a rule
already exists, RMS does not copy the rule.
6. Update the ruleset comments, as described in “Maintaining Comments,” later in
this section.
