Copying and pasting resources
You can use the copy and paste function in Configuration Manager to copy any resource definitions between groups, and between configurations. The copy function can be used to copy definitions between CSD and BAS configurations.
Procedure
- Copy. You can copy definitions from any resource definition view. You can copy only one resource type at a time. You can copy definitions from multiple source groups to a single target group at the same time. All definitions to be copied must be associated with a group first. An attempt to copy orphan definitions displays an error.
- Open the resource definition view that contains the resource definition, or definitions. For example, the File Definitions view.
- Right-click the resource and click Copy. You can select multiple resources by using the Shift or Ctrl keys.
- Paste. You must paste into an existing group. The group can be in a different configuration to the definitions you copied.
- Find the target group in the Resource Group Definitions view.
- Right-click the resource and click Paste.
- A window is displayed confirming the definitions and group, or groups, to copy to, or from. You can also replace definitions if they exist in the target group. The default setting is to keep the original definition. Select the option that you want and press OK.
Results
The resource is copied to the target Resource Group Definition. Refresh the resource definition view for the target group to show the copied definition.
