Copying an ESQL file

You might find it useful to copy an ESQL file as a starting point for a new ESQL file that has similar function.

Before you start

To complete this task, you must have completed the following task:

To copy an ESQL file:

  1. Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
  2. In the Broker Development view, select the ESQL file (<message_flow_name>.esql) that you want to copy. Right-click the file and click Copy from the menu.
  3. Right-click the broker schema within the message flow project to which you want to copy the ESQL file and click Paste. You can copy the ESQL file to the same broker schema within the same message flow project, or to a different broker schema within the same message flow project, or to a broker schema in a different message flow project.

    When you copy an ESQL file, the associated files (message flow, and mapping if present) are not automatically copied to the same target message flow project. If you want these files copied as well, you must do this explicitly following this procedure.

    If you want to use this ESQL file with another message flow, ensure that the modules within the ESQL file match the nodes that you have in the message flow, and that the node properties are set correctly.

You can also use File > Save As to copy an ESQL file. This is described in Saving an ESQL file.
