Is Copying of stages from one job to other job not possible in DS 7.0.

When i tried this, it was not possible. But i tried to copy in the same job it happened.

In DS 7.1, this was possible , but in DS 7.0, it was not possible.

Is it possible in DS 7.0

Hi nkln@you,

As per my knowledge containers are reused from on job to another job & a stage cannot be copied and used in another job.

Yes, it is possible. One of the very nice things they finally added in the 7.x versions was copy and paste, which means you can copy a stage in one job and paste it into another. I'm running 7.0.1 right now and do it all the time.

The other ong-awaited big winner was allowing 'dangling links'. :D

Are you attempting to copy stages between jobs in seperate Designer sessions? You can only copy stages inside the one Designer. This should work in version 7.0.

No, you can copy across multiple Designer sessions. Just did.

Thanks for your replies, but i should say sorry because ,i tried to copy a routine activity of a sequencer job into a server job. This is the mistake i did. So, i did'nt get copied. Immediately without checking the jobs , i posted this

Otherwise, we can copy between two DS sessions also, if the jobs are of same type.

Thanks once again.
