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.
About this task
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:
Procedure
-
For the map you want to copy, click .
-
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.
-
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:
-
Click Create new Branch.
-
Enter a title for the new Branch.
-
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.
-
Click Create.
Results
The new instance of the map is created in the new or existing Branch,
and it opens in Map Editor.
