Auto-save

The Rules Editor includes an auto-save feature to prevent loss of changes if the Rules Editor exits unexpectedly.

By default, auto-save is configured to save a backup file of your rule every 5 minutes while you are working in the Rules Editor. If the Rules Editor exits unexpectedly, TM1® displays the following message the next time you open the same rule.

Recovery file exists. 
Do you want to overwrite the
current rule with the contents of this file?

• If you click Yes, the contents of the auto-save backup file is loaded into the Rules Editor. You can then either save this version of the rule as the current version, or close the Rules Editor without saving and reopen it to use the original rule.
  Note: After you recover a backup file with the Rules Editor, the backup file remains on disk until you exit the Rules Editor. On exit, the backup file is deleted and no longer available.
• If you click No, the original version of the rule is loaded into the Rules Editor and the backup file is deleted.
