Create a new instance of a map (DRM)

With IXIA Dynamic Release Management (DRM), you can quickly copy a map to another Branch by creating a new instance of it. The new instance reuses all the same content as the original except where new instances of submaps need to be created as well.

Note: You cannot create a new instance of a map in Branches where an instance of the map already exists.
To create a new instance of a map:
  1. For the map you want to copy, click More Options icon.
  2. Select Create New Instance.
    The Create New Instance dialog appears. It shows all the Branches in which you can create the new instance of the map.
  3. Select the Branch that you want to create the new instance in.
    If you want to create a new Branch for the new instance, do the following:
    1. Click Create new Branch.
    2. Enter a title for the new Branch.
    3. Add a description.
      This description of the branch will appear in menus where the Branch is listed. For example, it appears in the Create New Instance dialog.
      Note: If you select another Branch, the title and description for the new Branch are cleared. The information for the new Branch is not saved.
  4. Click Create.

The new instance of the map is created in the new or existing Branch, and it opens in Map Editor.
