The software described in this documentation is either no longer supported or is in extended support.
Oracle recommends that you upgrade to a current supported release.
To clone a single channel, use the softwarechannel_clone command.
spacecmd {SSM:0}>softwarechannel_clone -s ol6u6-x86_64 -x "s/$/-clone/" -o
spacecmd {SSM:0}>softwarechannel_details ol6u6-x86_64-clone

The -x option appends
