New Copy Pipeline Feature in Data Integration

Prior to this feature, there is no option to open existing pipeline, and users had to create new pipeline always.

A new Copy Pipeline feature is available that enables to create a Pipeline identical to another Pipeline but with a different name. Pipeline can be copied within the same environment or to a remote environment.

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

You are then prompted to select Copy Pipeline options including:

• New pipeline name
• New Pipeline code
• Connection

This feature applies to: 

• Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management
• Financial Consolidation and Close
• FreeForm
• Planning
• Profitability and Cost Management
• Tax Reporting

Business Benefit: Use the copy Pipeline feature to create a new copy of a Pipeline definition with identical connections and job type information. You might use this feature when you want to copy a Pipeline definition in a test environment, or you want to copy a source Pipeline as a model for another Pipeline.

• When the Pipeline is running, it shows the status. Customers can also see the status of the Pipeline running in Process Details.
• Each individual job in the Pipeline is submitted separately and creates a separate job log in Process Details.

Benefit:

• Previously customers had to use the Batch option in Data Management, which restricted the types of jobs that could be included in the batch.

Thank you!
