Copying Resources

A Resource is a numeric counter in OpCon that represents a finite pool of units. Jobs can require a set number of Resource units before they run, which limits concurrent executions and prevents contention. Copying a Resource duplicates its configuration — including the maximum value and documentation — so you can use it as a starting point for a new Resource without rebuilding settings from scratch.

note

The Copy button is available only when a Resource is selected and there are no unsaved changes in the editor.

Copy a Resource​

To copy a Resource, complete the following steps:

  1. In Enterprise Manager, select Resources under the Administration topic. The Resources screen opens.
  2. In the Select Resource list, select the Resource you want to copy. To find a specific Resource, select Find.
  3. On the Resources toolbar, select Copy. The Copy Resource dialog opens.
  4. In the New Resource Name field, enter a unique name for the copy. The name must not exceed 20 characters.
  5. Select OK. The copy is saved and automatically selected in the Select Resource list.
  6. Select Close (to the right of the Resources tab) to close the Resources screen.

Result: A new Resource is created with the same maximum value and documentation as the original. The Resources In Use counter for the new Resource starts at zero.
