When you upload a rule set file or a rule set parameter file, Metadata Manager associates the rule set with the source and target resources configured in the XML file. If either the source or the target resource does not exist, Metadata Manager still creates the rule set. When you create the source or target resource, Metadata Manager associates the saved rule set with the resource.

When you create or update a rule set, Metadata Manager does not create the links between the resources. To use the rules to link metadata objects between resources, you must load the resources or create the links in the

Resource Link Administration

window.
