• COPY_DEFN is the callable version of this tool.
• Help text is copied for a screen since it is part of the definition of a screen. The definition is copied to segment 0 on the destination location. The original statistics for the object or object set (for example, CREATED, AUTHOR, UNIT, and SEGMENT) are also copied. References to event rules and reference tables are copied, not the rules and tables themselves.
• PF keys and their associated rules are not copied since they are not part of the definition of a screen.
To view additional fields from the screen, position your cursor in the appropriate section and use PF11 to scroll right. You can type data directly into the fields displayed or you can use PF5 from within the Copy Definition screen to display a screen that you can use to select the objects that you require.This section identifies any outside nodes and rules libraries for the copy process. Information entered here applies to all source and destination objects listed in subsequent sections, unless specifically overridden on a line-by-line basis. Entries in this section are optional, as the cursor immediately homes to the next section—Source Object Attributes—when executing this tool.
If the objects are to be copied to a remote location, type the name of the node where the source objects are located. Source Default Library Using this field, you can specify a default library that contains the rules to be copied. Type in the name directly, or press PF1 for a list of available libraries. The default library can be overridden on a line-by-line basis by individual entries in the LIBRARY field. If the objects are to be copied from a source location, type the name of the node where the objects are being copied. If the object is a rule, enter the name of the library where the rule is copied. Use PF1 for a list of valid values.Each line in this section names a source object and gives additional information about it. You can enter in this information a line at a time or pull it all across from the section screen.
The name of the object to be copied. Use PF5 to display a screen for selection. Refer to Select Objects Screen for more information about selecting objects. If the object is a rule, type the name of the rules library where the rule to be copied is located. Use PF1 for a list of valid values. Entries in this field override any value displayed in the Source Default Library field.
The name that the copied object is to be called. If the object is to be copied to a remote location, you do not have to specify a new name. If you do not specify a value, the name of the source object is used.
If the object exists, specify whether to overwrite the existing definition. Valid values are: If the object is composed of child objects (for example, an object set is composed of objects), specify if the definitions of the child objects should also be copied. Valid values are:N – Copy the definitions of the parent and children without specifying the child objects as individual items.
If you are copying a parent object and a child object and you are renaming the child object in the destination location, type the name of the source parent object on the line where you are specifying the child object information.Use this only if you still want the child object to be a part of the parent definition. References to the child object in the definition of the parent object are then changed to refer to the child by its new name.
If the selection list is to contain rules, type the name of the rules library that is searched. Press PF1 for a list of valid values. Presentation Environment Specify whether all the items displayed, based on the selection criteria, should be copied into the Copy Definition screen. Specify if you want to list all the child objects that an object is composed of. Valid values are:The middle section of the screen can be used to select the items to be copied or to narrow down the selection list. You can use more than one type of selection criteria for each object type and you can specify multiple object types within one session. For a list of valid values for each of these fields, press PF1.When you use Enter after specifying the selection criteria, the selected items appear in the bottom portion of the screen. You can select the objects displayed in this section by typing an S in the line command field beside the objects. If you know the name of the item, in the Op field type the logical operator to be used. In the Value field, type the name of the object. The name of the object type. Use PF1 for a list of valid values. If you do not supply an object type, you must specify a value in at least one of the other selection fields.If you specify an object type and no further selection values, a listing of the items for the object type defined in your TIBCO Object Service Broker database appears for further selection. In the Op field, type the logical operator to be used. In the Value field, type the name of the Unit associated with the object. In the Op field, type the logical operator to be used. In the Value field, type the name of the author of the object.
Press PF4 to copy the definition. Pressing PF2 displays a log similar to the following listing the results of the copy.
