Clone IoT Event Definition#

🔒 IoTEventDefinition.Clone

Overview#

This operation is used to clone an existing IoT Event Definition into a new IoT Event Definition with a different name and identical characteristics.

Setup#

No specific setup is required other than to meet the preconditions of the transaction.

Preconditions#

  • The IoT Event Definition exists in the system.

Sequence of Steps#

The Clone IoT Event Definition wizard can be called from the IoT Event Definition page within the Business Data Group. The default values will be taken from the current IoT Event Definition to be used as a base for the new object.

Follow these steps:

  1. On the left side panel, add as many rows as desired (each row represents a new IoT Event Definition to be created based on the currently selected IoT Event Definition) by selecting and specifying the property values for each new instance to be created. You can also provide a name for each of the new instances, however if a Name Generator is configured for the Entity Type, you can leave the field blank and a new name will be automatically generated.
  2. Optionally, enter a comment for the operation.

  3. Select Clone to complete the operation and a new object will be created.
