About this task
Data sources that result in attribute groups can be copied
to the clipboard and pasted back to this agent or another agent. Data
sources that do not result in attribute groups are Availability and Windows Event Log data sources.
Procedure
- Select the attribute groups that you want to copy.
- Cut or copy the attribute group by using one
of the following methods:
- Click from the
menu bar.
- Right-click one of the selected items and click Cut or Copy from
the menu.
- Use one of the operating system or Eclipse key strokes that
calls the cut or copy action. For example, on Windows systems, pressing Ctrl-C calls the copy action.
To remove data sources from their existing location and place
them in the clipboard, use Cut.
To leave data sources in place and copy them to the clipboard, use Copy.
- Select the parent of an attribute group (the agent, a subnode,
or a navigator group) or select an existing attribute group.
- Paste the selection by using one of the following choices:
- Select from the
menu bar.
- Right-click the node where you want to paste the selection
in the tree, and click Paste on
the menu.
- Use one of the operating system or Eclipse key strokes that
calls the paste action. For example, on Windows systems, pressing Ctrl-V calls the paste action.
Results
The attribute groups from the clipboard are placed in the
selected parent. Alternatively, if an attribute group is selected,
the attribute groups are placed in the parent of the selected attribute
group.
If there is a name conflict with another attribute group
while pasting, the pasted attribute group name is changed slightly
to avoid the conflict.
