Copying Applications

You can copy an application to create a new application of the same type with the same configuration as the original.

When you copy an application, all metadata within the original application is copied to the new application including dimensions, data chains, validations, policies, and subscriptions.

Note:

Application data is not copied. Use the export and import processes to transfer bound data and properties to the new application, and the extract and load processes to transfer unbound or partially bound data and properties.

Considerations

  • You must have the Application - Create application role to copy an application. See Working with Roles and Permissions.
  • For application views:
    • A new default application view is created for the new application.
    • For other views, if you have the Owner permission on a view in the application being copied, the view and its viewpoints are copied to the new application, as follows:
      • If all of the viewpoints in a view belong to the application being copied, then a copy of that view and all of the viewpoints is created.
      • If some but not all of the viewpoints in a view belong to the application being copied (for example, in a maintenance view), then the viewpoints for the copied application are copied and added to the existing view.
  • The following objects are not copied to the new application:
    • Connection login details
    • Time labels and time labeled viewpoints
    • Compare profiles
    • Application specific permissions for global connections
  • Both active and archived metadata objects are copied.

To copy an application:

  1. From the application list, click Actions action menu icon, and then select Copy.
  2. In the Copy Application dialog box, enter a name and (optionally) a description for the new application. The new name must be unique.
  3. Optional: In Duplicate Suffix, enter a suffix to be used to create a unique label when creating objects for the new application (such as viewpoints). If you do not enter a suffix, an incrementing numeric suffix is used.
  4. On the confirmation dialog box, click Yes.
