Copying (Cloning) a Simulation Process

Instead of creating a blank simulation process, you will find it easier in some cases to copy, or clone, an existing simulation process and change it to suit your needs. When you copy a simulation process, all of the children of the simulation process, such as its activities and data categories, are also copied; however, referenced documents continue to refer to their original documents.


Before you begin: You must have the role of Simulation Analyst to copy a simulation process.

Creating a Blank Simulation Process
  1. Click to return to the Processes page.
  2. Select the simulation process to copy. You can copy only one simulation process at a time.
  3. From the Processes page toolbar, select .
  4. Enter the Title and Revision of the new copy in the dialog box that appears, and click Done.
  5. From the table page toolbar, select More Actions > Copy (Clone).
  6. In the Copy Simulation Process page that appears, enter the following:
    • Title: Process Composer displays the title to indicate which simulation process you are working with. You can change the title of the copied simulation process to help you distinguish between simulation processes.
    • Revision: Enter the revision of the new simulation process. In most cases it will be the first revision in a new series.
    • Description: Enter a description that allows any user to determine the purpose of this simulation process. You should describe the problem that you are attempting to answer along with the product and/or workflow you are simulating.
    • Policy: Choose from the list of simulation policies. See About Policies for more information.

    Any attribute groups from the original simulation process are inherited by the new simulation.

  7. Click Done to copy the simulation process.

    Process Composer creates the new simulation process.

    Note: Any access rights that were granted to the original simulation process are not copied over to the new simulation process.
