When you copy a session that uses mapping variable values, the Copy Wizard either copies the variables to the target folder or retains the saved variable values in the folder.
The Workflow Manager copies the variable values to the target folder under the following conditions:
You copy a session into a folder to create a new session.
The new session contains a mapping that has an associated mapping variable from the copied session.
You copy a session into a folder to replace an existing session.
The replaced session in the target folder does not have saved variable values.
The Workflow Manager retains the saved variable values in the target folder if you replace a session that has saved variable values.
