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.
