New Copy Integration Feature in Data Integration

A new Copy Integration feature enables administrator to create an integration identical to another integration but with a different name. Administrator can reuse the existing source location or create a new location and reuse the source import format or create a new import format. Administrator can also copy between a local environment or to a remote environment. The Copy integration features is only available for administrators.

The Copy Integration option is available from the home page by by clicking ... next to the integration to copy and then selecting Copy from the Task Menu:

You are then prompted to select copy integration options including:

• new integration name
• create location option
• create import format option
• connection

By default, the name of the copied integration is a concatenation of the source integration name and the suffix: “_1." Optionally, you can assign a unique name to the copied integration.

When Administrator select to create a new location or import format, the system concatenates the source location name or import format name and adds the suffix “_1.  If Administrator do not create a new import format or location, the existing location and import format names are used in the copied integration definition.

If a new import format is checked, then a new location is also enabled automatically.

By default, the copied integration uses the local connection, but Administrator can select another local or remote connection.

Business Benefit: Use the copy integration feature to create a new copy of an integration definition with identical connections and mappings.  You might this feature when you want to copy an integration definition in a test environment or you want to copy a source integration as a model for other integrations.
