Copy Application Snapshot (v2)

Use this REST API (v2) to copy a snapshot from one environment (source) to another environment (target).

This API is executed on the target environment after details are provided for the source environment from which the snapshot is to be copied.

Prerequisites: The password of the source EPM Cloud environment must have already been encrypted using EPM Automate. The encrypted password must then be passed as one of the parameters for the copyfrominstance REST API. See the encrypt command in Command Reference in Working with EPM Automate for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud.

This REST API is version v2.

Before using the REST resources, you must understand how to access the REST resources and other important concepts. See Implementation Best Practices for EPM Cloud REST APIs. Using this REST API requires prerequisites. See Prerequisites.
