Duplicate a Data Flow

You can duplicate an existing data flow and then modify the duplicated data flow to meet your needs.

Replicate between tasks

You can replicate an existing data flow to a different task.

The target task must use the same source and target datastore types as the original task for the replicated data flow.

Note

You cannot replicate a data flow in the production environment.

From the Projects tab, select the task that contains the data flow you want to replicate and select Edit.
In the Data Flows tab of the task editor, select the data flow you want to replicate and select Actions Replicate.
Select the project and task to which you want to add the replicated data flow and select OK.
Enter a name for the replicated data flow.
If the source or target datastore is a File Format Group, select the Verify icon beside the new name to ensure that the name you entered is unique, then modify it if necessary.

Also for File Format Group datastores, resolve entries under Related duplicated tables as needed.
Select OK to exit the task editor.

Modify the new data flow if necessary.

Within a task, you can create a copy of a data flow and use it to load data to a different target object.

From the Projects tab, select the desired task and select Edit.
The task editor opens.
In the Data Flows tab of the task editor, select the task you want to copy and select Actions Copy to new target.
Enter a name for the new data flow.
Select an existing target object or import a new target object and then select Copy Data Flow.
The data flow is copied to the target object.

As needed, modify the new data flow.
