Copying configurations

You can copy configurations and rename them to reuse large sets of saved parameter values, selected tasks and steps, and associated Db2® entries.

About this task

You might want to copy a configuration when you want to use most of the same values but you need to change several of them.

Procedure

  1. Issue the CONFIGURATION command on the Customizer Workplace panel.
    The Manage Multiple Configurations of a Product panel is displayed, as shown in the following figure:
