Copy Policy

After a policy is defined, you can clone the definition with the Copy Policy command. This command lets you duplicate defining clauses with the option to change the value of clause arguments.

This page discusses:

Syntax

copy policy SRC_NAME DST_NAME [MOD_ITEM] {,MOD_ITEM};
  • SRC_NAME is the name of the policy definition (source) to copied.
  • DST_NAME is the name of the new definition (destination).
  • MOD_ITEMs are modifications that you can make to the new definition. For more information, see Modify Policy.

History Clause

The history keyword adds a history record marked “custom” to the policy that is being copied. The STRING argument is a free-text string that allows you to enter some information describing the nature of the copy operation. For more information, see Adding History to Administrative Objects.
