The copy source metadata job copies the metadata from one ILM repository to another ILM repository on a cloned source connection.
You might need to clone a production database and still want to manage the database with smart partitioning. Or, you might want to clone a production database to subset the database. Run the copy source metadata job if you want to use the same ILM repository information on the cloned database as the original source connection.
Before you run the job, clone the production database and create a new source connection in the Data Archive user interface. Then, run the define staging schema standalone job or select the new staging schema from the
Manage Segmentation
page.
Provide the following information to run this job:
From Source Repository
The staging schema of the source repository that you want to copy metadata from.
To Source Repository
The staging schema of the source repository that you want to copy metadata to.
