Cloning Folders

  1. If you have not already done so, click Create to create a new session or click Edit to enter an existing session. See Using the Change Center.
  2. Select Project Explorer, navigate to the parent project or folder that contains the folder that you want to clone. The Project/Folder View page is displayed.
  3. Click the  Clone Folder icon in the row of the folder you want to clone. The Clone Folder page is displayed with the current location of the folder highlighted.
  4. Clone the folder in the same location or a different location, or upgrade the folder to a project:, as follows:
    • To clone the folder in the same location, enter a new name in the New Name field. See Naming Projects and Folders.
    • When cloning in the same location, either do not select any location at all in the Location panel (which is equivalent to selecting the current location), or explicitly select the current project and folder.

    • To clone the folder in a different location, optionally enter a new name in the New Name field, and select a project and/or folder from the Location area. See Naming Projects and Folders.
    • If you use the same name as an existing folder, the contents of the original folder are merged with the contents of the target folder.

    • To upgrade the folder to a project, select the Root location.
  5. Click Clone Folder. The folder is cloned in the current session.
  6. When you clone a folder, all folder and resources under the folder are cloned recursively

  7. To end the session and deploy the configuration to the run time, click Activate under Change Center.
