Copy a Target

The Copy Target functionality copies all sources, tables, rules and indices from the source to the destination target and is primarily used for server migration. Before a target can be copied, the connection to the new target databases must first be established in the connection table and in the data source.

To copy a target:

  1. Establish a connection to the new target database in the connection table and in Common. Refer to Register a Data Source in Common for detailed information.
  2. Select Tools > Copy Targets in the Navigation pane.

  3. Click Edit.

    View the field descriptions for the Copy Targets page

  4. Select a database from Target From list box, where tables, rules and indices are currently configured.

  5. Select a database from Target To list box, where tables, rules and indices are to be copied.

    NOTE: Databases for Target From and Target To must be registered in Common with a SQL Server DBMS type. Targets cannot be Oracle, DB2 or other ODBC connections.

  6. Click Save.
  7. Click Copy Target to copy all sources, both active and inactive, (including tables, rules and indices) from the Target From to the Target To database – the process only copies records to the target database that do not exist; a confirmation message displays.
  8. Click Ok.
