Copy a Target Source to Another Target

Once a Source is configured in Target Design and synced to Map, field mappings and field groups from a Source can be copied to a new Source to expedite the mapping process. When a Source is copied, all mappings are copied where the Target and Source tables match.

NOTE: The copy process cannot be performed until:

  • The Source has been added in Target Design
  • The Target associated with the Target Source has been synced with Map

Refer to Add a Source and Sync Target Design and Map for more information.

When a Source is copied, the mapping status and rule status for all copied mappings is Pending Review. Refer to Mapping Status and Rule Status for more information.

To copy a Source in Map:

  1. Access Map.

  2. Click the Targets icon on the Process Area Launch page.

  3. Click the Sources icon for a Target.

  4. Click Vertical View for a Target Source.

  5. Click the Copy To icon on the Page toolbar.

  6. Click Edit.

    View the field descriptions for the Target Source Copy To page

  7. Select an expanded name of the Source, which includes the Wave, Process Area, Object and Target from the Copy To Source Database Object ID list box.

  8. Click the Activate Inactive Fields In Copy To Target check box to enable it, which activates the inactive fields in the Copy To Source Database Object ID (if the Source has active fields).

  9. Click the Initialize All Mappings In Copy To Target check box to enable it, which resets the Mapping Status and all Field Mapping files to Null. The copy process then loads the new mappings.

    NOTE: If a Copy To field had an Action and the Copy From field was blank, the Action field will have a value of NULL.

  10. Click Save.

  11. Click the Copy To icon on the Page toolbar to finalize the copy process.
