Clone IoT Schema#

🔒 IoTSchema.Clone

Overview#

This operation is used to clone an existing IoT Schema into a new IoT Schema 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 Schema exists in the system.

Sequence of Steps#

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

Step 1: General Data#

  1. On the left side panel, add as many rows as desired (each row represents a new IoT Schema to be created based on the currently selected IoT Schema) 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.
