Fields: Network Definition Copy

The fields of the Network Definition Master Copy window are described in the following table.

Field	Description
From	The fields under From contain the name of the owner, network and network version from which the new network is copied. You can change the names as required. To open a selection window of available networks, use an asterisk * as a wildcard. To clone a network version, make sure that the From and To owners and networks are identical, and enter a different To network version.
To	The fields under To contain the name of the owner, network and network version to be used for the new network. You can change the name of the network and network version as required. To open a selection window of available networks, use an asterisk * as a wildcard. To clone a network version, make sure that the From and To owners and networks are identical, and enter a different To network version.
Alt. File (secondary file)	If this field is marked with Y, the definition is copied from an alternate (secondary) Entire Operations system file, which has to be assigned in the Entire Operations defaults. Notes: If an alternate data file is defined in the Entire Operations Defaults (submenu of the System Services Menu), you can copy a network definition from there by setting the Alt. File field to Y. The alternate file must be an Entire Operations system file. The network definitions must be created in the current version of Entire Operations. When you are copying from a secondary file or between different owners, all defined symbol tables are also copied, however, only if they do not already exist in the target environment.
with Schedule	Possible values:
	N	The schedule linked to the source network will not be copied (default).
	Y	The schedule of the source network will also be copied. The current day will be excluded to prevent an unwanted immediate activation. The current schedule table will be copied from the day following the current day until the end of the current year. The execution history will not be copied.
with Grants	N	Other users/owners granted access to the source network will not be copied to the new network (default). The new network will only have access rights for the current user/owner. See also Granting Definition: Authorizing Other Users or Owners to Access a Network.
	Y	Other users/owners granted access to the source network will be copied to the new network, in addition to the current user/owner.
