This operation allows you to easily create a channel similar to an existing one.

By default, the created channel will be completely independent from the source one : all referenced elements (gateways, message definitions and transformations) will also be duplicated. But you can change this in the More options button by specifying element by element if you want to make a copy, share the existing element, use another similar element or even leave it empty.





Duplicating a channel

The duplication can be accessed from the general tab of the channel detail screen, or from the create channel screen. You have to use this second location if you want to use as source channel a channel from a different environment than the current one.
