Copying and Moving Objects

You can copy or move jobs, profiles, business rules, or other objects to a custom folder in the Folders tree. Use Copy to Folder or Move to Folder to send the objects to the desired folder. The folder can be in any repository to which you are connected.

Perform the following steps:

  1. Identify all of the objects that you want to copy or move. If you will be deploying a metadata object to another repository, identify any dependencies that you need to manage. For example, if you want to copy a profile that depends on certain business rules, you will need to copy the rules as well unless the target repository has the same rules.
  2. (Optional) Copy or move all objects to be exported into a single custom folder in the Folders tree. This will make it easier to select and export a collection of different kinds of objects.
  3. In the Folders riser, select the folder that contains objects to be copied or moved. A list of the objects in the folder appears on the right.
  4. Perform one of the following:
  5. Use the selection dialog to navigate to the target folder. The target folder can be in the current repository or another repository to which you are connected. Click Open to move or copy the objects.

For an example of how objects can be copied to another repository, see Deploying Profiles to a Data Management Server.
