Copy and Paste an Object or a Folder

You can copy objects or folders. You can use a current object version as the basis for similarly configured objects on the same Orchestrator. Copy a current object version to the same or a different folder where you can rename and edit it as a new object. For example, you can configure a custom operator object and then add copies of it within a library.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Library tab.
2. Identify the objects to copy in the main window. Verify that the version you want is marked as the current version.
3. Select one or more source objects or folders and click Copy.
4. In the Library Browser folder pane, click a destination folder in the same automation library, then click Paste.

   Notice the following results:

   • CA Process Automation adds the copied objects with the same names as the original objects.
   • Each object has one version, the version that was copied.
   • If the copied version has a Release Version value, the copy retains that value.
   • If the copied version was baselined, the copy is baselined.
   • If this location is the same as the source folder, then CA Process Automation appends a number to each object name (for example, Process_1).
5. (Optional) Rename the new objects.
