copySnapshotFromInstance

Copies the current snapshot from a source environment to the environment (target) from which you run this command.

This command is primarily used as the first step in migrating an environment by copying the current snapshot from another environment; for example from a test environment to a production environment. You use the importSnapshot command to complete the migration process.

Before running this command, start an EPM Automate session and sign into the target environment.

If this command is executed to copy the current snapshot while the snapshot of the source environment is being generated; for example, during the daily maintenance, you will receive the File not found error.
