Duplicating an application component

After creating a working application component, you can duplicate the component. This feature allows you to create multiple copies that have the same settings but different host or context root information.

1. Log on to IBM® WebSphere® Portal using the fully qualified host name.
2. Go to Administration > Portlet Management > Virtual Web Application Manager.
3. Select the check box of the application component you want to duplicate.
4. Click Duplicate. A new replica of the existing item displays in the category list.
5. Click Settings to edit the application component.
   Attention: If no changes are made to the settings, the duplicate item is deleted during the next page refresh.
6. Make all required changes; for example, change the description, host name, display name, or context root.
7. Click Save.
