Copying a project is a quick way to create a project using
the previous information as a guide. To view the contents of a project
without changing files, copy a project to the file system.
Procedure
- Right-click over the project you want to
copy, and select Copy Project.
- In the Copy Project dialog
box, use the original project release value or set a new one in the Release box.
- Set the purpose for the new project in the Purpose box.
A project purpose defines how it is used, for
example, Insulated Development, Integration
Testing, or System Testing. When
you change your project purpose, different selection criteria is used
when you update the project or project grouping.
- If there are subprojects, you can copy only
the subprojects for the same release, only the subprojects for the
same component, all subprojects, or no subprojects.
If you want to set which subproject is copied, click
.
The Copy Project dialog
box shows each subproject in the project you are copying. Additionally,
it shows each subproject associated with the baseline and with the
project grouping. Select or clear the Copy check
box to copy the appropriate subprojects.
If you
copy a subproject, the new subproject will be a member in the same
parent project if the release and purpose match that of the parent
project.
- Use the default version or type a new version.
A version is a specific variation of a project.
- Use the work area path used by the project
you are copying or set a new path by typing it in or clicking the
browse button.
See Modifying the settings in a work area for more information about work area properties.
- By default, all new projects are updated
after the projects are copied. If you do not want the new projects
to be updated, clear the Update new projects check
box.
- Click OK.
