File > Copy Object (Apex/Summit)The File > Copy Object command copies one or more objects. Use this command to copy individual files, directories, subsystems, or views. Copies of directories are recursive. You can also use this command to create a set of working views or a set of release views. When you invoke this command, the File Copy dialog box appears.
Note: When copying an object "with history" to another view, the notes for the object will not be accepted.
Copy Object Dialog Box Fields:
Copy Object / Copy Views Radio Buttons
The Copy Object radio button is used to copy files, directories and subsystems. The Copy Views radio button should be set when creating new views in existing subsystems.
Copy Objects Field
The Copy Objects list field shows the names of those objects to be copied. Type object names in the input field to add or remove them; select and click Remove to remove them.
Destination Name Field (Copy Objects Mode)
Input the name and path of the new object. If you specify a relative name in the Destination field (such as new.wrk), the destination is based on the context of the dialog box (that is, the context in which the command was issued).
Tabs
The options for this dialog are organized into tabbed groups. These Tabs provide access to different information applicable when creating a view. The only tab available if the Copy Objects radio button is selected is the Control tab.
Control Tab
If source object is checked out Radio Buttons
The following radio buttons apply if a source object is checked out:
- Fail
When copying version history, causes the command to fail, if an attempt to copy a checked-out object is made.
- Fail unless check-out is private
When copying version history, causes the command to fail, unless the checked-out object was privately checked out.
- Check In before copy
When copying version history, causes the command to check in the object, if an attempt to copy a checked-out object is made.
- Abandon check-out
When copying version history, causes the command to abandon the checkout, if an attempt to copy a checked-out object is made.
- Abandon check-out and save
When copying version history, causes the command to abandon the checkout and save the checked out file, if an attempt to copy a checked-out object is made. For example, when this command is selected, abandoning foo.1.ada generates the file foo.1.ada.saved with the contents that were there prior to the abandon operation.
- Copy latest checked in version
When copying version history of a checked out file, copies the latest version of the object which has been checked in. When copying version history of a privately checked out file, copies the version of the object on which the private check out is based.
Copy Version History if Controlled
This check box indicates whether newly-created destination files are to be controlled when the corresponding source files are controlled.
Tasks to Associate with Checked In Versions Field
This field appears only when the Check In Before Copy radio button is selected. It specifies the tasks to be associated with the checked in object. It is initialized with the current task list. The Navigate icon can be used to select a different set of tasks by activating the Select Tasks dialog. The Alternatives icon displays the tasks in your "to do" task list.
View Tab
Selecting the Copy Views radio button causes an additional set of tabs to become activated. See Copy Views Options in the File > Copy Object Dialog Box (Apex/Summit) for a description of these options and tabs.
