Clone entity

Clone entity is a feature that creates a duplicate copy of an entity.

Clone entity has two options:

  • Clone: Entity, attributes and physical options are included in the new entity.

  • Deep clone: The new entity will include everything from the original entity including all mappings.

Notes

The clone is created into the same package as the original entity.

The new entity is named like the original one but with a default suffix "_CLONE_TIMESTAMP" e.g.

F_TRIP_CLONE_20210305091259

Optionally, you can provide a custom prefix. E.g. with prefix RETURN:

F_TRIP_RETURN

With deep clone, load names get the same suffix.
