IT landscape administration - Copy content

Description

Type of execution

Event

Visible to users

This macro copies content of row and column headers. It is irrelevant whether a process support column is distributed over several process support maps. All relevant process support maps are automatically opened and the entire process support information of a source process is transferred to any required number of target processes. If required, the entire target column is created, or it is updated. The source and target process are selected in a dialog. Optionally, you can specify that all source processes including their support are deleted from the models in a final step.

Special features

At present, only columns can be copied. A process support map is relevant if it is supported by a macro and contains at least one affected function. All relevant process support maps are opened invisibly. A dialog shows the number of affected models before the start. The copy operation can be canceled at this point. If an error occurs when opening the relevant models, for example, because write access to the model is impossible, an error message is displayed and the operation is canceled. The initial state is preserved.

The macro can be run by IT landscape administrators only. It is used, for example, to prepare the joining or splitting of IT landscape planning content, when content is to be split between multiple objects or is to be joined together in one object.
