To simplify job creation, settings from other jobs can be copied and applied to this job. These settings are the Structure, Content Type and Security mapping. The following options are available: -

  • Default Settings

Job is created with default settings, and no information copied from existing jobs. No structure mapping settings or security mapping and only standard Content Type assignments will be configured.

  • Copy settings from file

In Create Migration Job, the Content Type Mappings and General settings from a job can be exported to files. Using this Copy settings option allows these to be imported. This is especially useful for copying these settings across PCS servers. Custom classifications and security/permission information is NOT copied.

NOTE: This option can only be used between jobs that have the same source and target.

i.e. It’s not possible to create a job migrating from File Share and use those settings to create a job migrating from Documentum.
  • Copy settings from existing job

Allows the user to select an existing job to copy Content Type Mappings, Custom Classification and General settings from another job. It will NOT copy any custom content type settings as these are not transferrable between jobs. This option will only be displayed if other jobs have been created.

NOTE: This option will display only if at least one job present in application.

After selecting relevant setting, click on Next button to move on Jon summary screen
