Copy a Template

Integrate allows a user to copy an existing template to create a new template in any category. A copy of a template includes all settings in the original template, including:

  • Screens, fields, loops and conditionals in the case of BDC Scripts and GUI Scripts

  • Custom commands in the case of GUI Scripts

  • Structures and fields in the case of User Defined templates

  • Global Variables in BODS Execution templates

NOTE: Copy template functionality is not available for BAPI/RFC template types.

A copy of a template does not copy the processes associated with the original template.

NOTE: A template can be copied whether the template is active or not.

  1. Select Categories on Navigation pane.
