Copy Business Object

Use this action to copy saved business objects such as order bases, itineraries, shipments, and rate records. When you copy an object, Oracle Transportation Management copies the objects data to a new object, except for its unique ID and internal status values. Oracle Transportation Management does copy the external status values.

The business objects that you can copy are listed below. Any restrictions, exceptions, or special procedures related to the Copy Business Object action are noted.

Access Control List

Copies the selected access control list. See Access Control List Actions and SmartLinks.

Automation Agent

The agent copy includes all actions, events, saved conditions, and saved queries associated with an agent. However, any additional parameters defined on agent actions and agent events do not copy.

If you copy an agent from one domain to another and the agent has saved queries that are specific to the data in one domain, the agent may not work. In this case, remove or modify the saved query.

You can copy an agent into the same domain or into a different domain to which you have read/write access. It is assumed that the data in the domain you copy the agent to has read/write access to the data in the domain the agent is copied from. Domain access is granted by the Oracle Transportation Management administrator.

The list of domains you can choose from are domains for which you have read/write access.

You can also copy agents from a test Oracle Transportation Management environment to an Oracle Transportation Management production environment (between two different databases). Refer to the Data Management Guide on the Oracle Help Center for more information on exporting and importing data.
