Planning Business Modeler does not check product version of Planning Server during rule import.

You may not import a Definition rule set. Planning Business Modeler provides a predefined Definition rule set, and does not support importing other Definition rule sets.

In the Open dialog box, locate the business rules file that you want to import and click Open. The imported business rules are displayed in the Business Rules workspace.
When you import business rules, the dimensions associated with the business rules must be consistent with the dimensions of the target model. If the dimensions are not consistent, you might encounter errors when you validate rules.
(Optional) Select the Import to root check box
If you do not select Import to root, the rules imported will be added to the currently selected rule set. If the rule type of the imported rule is not compatible with the selected rule set, the importation will fail.
If you select Import to root, the rules imported will be added at the root level. If the imported file contains rules that are not in a rule set, the importation will fail.
