Copying and pasting channels

You can use one channel as a template for another by copying and pasting the channel definition. This is useful if you want to create channels with slight variations in their definitions.

1. From the Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator window, select the System menu button.
2. Click Channels. The Channels pane opens.
3. To copy a channel, select the channel from the Channels pane and then click Copy in the toolbar.
4. To paste the channel, click Paste in the toolbar. The New Channel window opens.
5. Enter a unique name for the channel.
6. Confirm or cancel your actions as follows:
   • Click OK to create the new channel with an identical channel definition as the selected channel. The Channel Details window then opens so that you can make the required changes to this new channel.
   • Click Cancel to cancel the copy-and-paste action.
