Working copy is a copy of the gold image that you use to provision the software on an Oracle Fleet Patching and Provisioning (Oracle FPP) Client or an rhpclient-less target.

By default, when you create a gold image using either rhpctl import image or rhpctl add image, the image is ready to provision working copies. You can use the rhpctl add workingcopy command to add a working copy to a client cluster.

After you create and import a gold image, you can provision software by adding a copy of the gold image (called a working copy) on the Fleet Patching and Provisioning Server, on a Fleet Patching and Provisioning Client, or an rhpclient-less target.
