Cloning flow services

Use clone to quickly copy a flow service and make changes without starting from scratch.

About this task

The clone feature copies an existing flow service so you can reuse it with changes, without starting from scratch.

Procedure

  1. Locate the flow service that you want to clone.
  2. Click the More options icon available on the flow service and click Clone from the displayed menu. The Clone flow service dialog box appears.
  3. Enter the Flow service Name and Project.
  4. Click Clone. The flow service is created under the specified project. You can modify according to your needs as any other flow service.
    Note:
    • Make sure that you create the account or reference data associated with the respective asset in the target project.
    • You can create a clone of a cloned flow service.
    • Editing a cloned flow service does not affect the original flow service it was cloned from.
    • A cloned flow service containing the messaging connector placed within the same project inherits all assets, configurations and authorizations of the original flow service. However, cloning a flow service to different project copies items of the original flow service and does not retain assets, configurations and authorizations. You need to create the account or reference data associated with the respective asset in the destination project.
    • Whenever a flow service is cloned, any child flow services with the same name are overridden.
