Copying an outbound change set lets you reuse an existing component list to quickly create a new release package.
[!WARNING] Component snapshot rules and status rules after copying require manual review.
Before you begin
- You have permission to create change sets.
- A reusable outbound change set already exists.
- Confirm the component scope of the original change set.
Step 1: Open the Outbound Change Sets page
- In the admin backend, go to Environment Management > Outbound Change Sets.
- In the list, find the change set to copy.
Step 2: Copy the change set
- In the action area of the target change set, click Copy.
- In Change Set Name, enter a new name.
- In Description, state the purpose of the copy.
- Click Save.
Step 3: Adjust components
- Open the newly copied change set.
- Remove components that you do not need to publish.
- Add components that are new for this release.
- Check dependent components.
Expected results and validation
The system creates a new pending-upload change set. The new change set includes the components of the copied change set.
When copying an outbound change set, the system uses the specified change set as a template and creates a new outbound change set. The newly copied change set includes all metadata components of the copied change set and its status is Pending Upload.
