Hi,
Is there a way to make an identical copy of an element with only another name. This element is using connection strings which makes it probaly tricky to do this.
Hi Gerwin,
Another option is use a DELT export. You could create a DELT export from the element (including element data) and import it in another DMA in the cluster. Once the DELT export is created, you will need to rename the original element.
The constraint here is that you need a DMS with at least 2 DMAs. You will not be able to import in the same DMA.
Hope it helps.
You can rename the original elements afterwards. The workflow could be as follows:
– Export the element to a DELT package
– Rename the original element
– Import the DELT package in another DMA in the cluster. This will create the duplicate element
– Rename the duplicate element
– Rename the original element to its original name
Won’t the exported element have the same DataMinerId/ElementId as the original one?
Even if you rename it and place it on a different agent of the cluster it could present some issues.
Hi,
Indeed, I performed a small test and the DMA does not allow me to import the DELT package in the same DMS (only replace it). For a moment I thought that the imported element will be created with a new element ID. This procedure will only work if you import the element to a different cluster.
That seems like an option, however we don’t want to rename the orginal element, can we tweak something in the delt export to give the import an new name?
