Copying Single or Multiple Entity Types

The Copy function of the Add/Copy Entity screen is used to copy one or more entity types associated with a specified dictionary and node in the CA IDMS Enforcer database.

To use the Copy function

1. Type C in the OPTION field.
2. Specify required information in both the ADD/COPY TO and COPY FROM portions of the screen.
3. Press the Enter key.

If the entity type you specify already exists, it will be overlaid with the entity specified or selected in the COPY FROM portion of the screen. The Replace field response must be Y to request the overlay. A confirmation screen is displayed before completing the replace function. This function has no effect on entity types contained in dictionaries defined in your central version.

All templates, and template field value sets and value ranges are copied; template indirect references are stored as wildcards (*).

Note: The maximum entity occurrence name length for user-defined entities is 40 characters. Therefore, COPY FROM entity types must have the same name occurrence length requirements as the COPY TO structure.
