Guidelines for Moving and Copying Services
*When you move or copy a service, Designer does not move/copy any output templates that are associated with that service.
*If you move a service, or a folder containing a service, Designer retains the service’s explicit universal name. If you copy a service or a folder containing a service, Designer does not retain the service’s explicit universal name. You must restore the universal name by editing the service’s properties. For more information, see About Universal Names and Document Types.
*When you move or copy a Java service, Designer automatically recompiles the service and any Java services that remain in the source folder. When you delete a Java service, Designer recompiles any Java services that remain in the source folder.
*You cannot move or copy a Java service to a folder that contains other Java services that are system locked or locked by another user. If you attempt to do so, Designer cancels the entire move/copy action.
*When you move or copy a Java service, Designer will also move or copy the service’s Shared fields to the destination folder, unless the destination folder already contains Shared fields with different values. In this case, you must first manually copy the Shared fields into the destination folder and then move or copy the Java service
