Copy Dataset

Function Description

Set one or more Copy Datasets to the Target Datasource. When there is a selected Dataset, you can directly add the selected Dataset to the replication window to quickly replicate the Dataset.

The shortcut keys Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V are also supported, that is, select the Dataset to be copied in Workspace Manager for Ctrl + C (copy), and then select the Target Datasource for Ctrl + V (paste). Completing the copy and paste of the Dataset will make the migration of the Dataset between Datasources easier and simpler.

Function entrance

  • Context Menu of Manager- > Dataset- > Copy Dataset in Workspace.
  • Toolbox, Data Management, Data Maintenance, Copy Dataset.
  • You can also drag the Dataset to be copied to the Datasource node in Workspace Manager to pop up the Copy Dataset prompt box, and click the OK button to copy the selected Dataset to the specified Datasource.
Hint:
  • You can use the Shift key or the Ctrl key to select multiple Datasets at the same time to perform the Copy Dataset operation. The Copy Dataset in the toolbox can only copy a single Dataset.

Parameter Description

Each record in the Copy Dataset dialog corresponds to the copy information of a Dataset to be copied, and the meaning of each item is as follows:

  • Source Dataset: Displays the type of the Dataset being copied and the name of the Datasource.
  • Source Data source: Datasource where Source Dataset is located.
  • Target Datasource: The Target Datasource column is used to specify in which Datasource the Copy Dataset will be stored. Each cell in the Target Datasource column has a Drop-down Button. Click the Drop-down Button to pop up a drop-down list, which lists the All Data source opened in the Current Works pace. You can select a Datasource to hold the replicated Dataset. You can also create a new Datasource in which to place the Dataset with the Create Datasource option.
  • Target Dataset: The Target Dataset column is used to specify the name of the copied New Dataset. The application system provides a default name. Users can modify it and set the name they need.
  • Encode Type: The Encode Type column is used to specify the Encode Type of the copied New Dataset. Each cell in the Encode Type column has a Drop-down Button. Click the Drop-down Button to pop up a drop-down list, in which all Encode Types supported by the Application are listed. The Encode Type of a Dataset is the compression Encode Type when the Dataset is stored. For details, see Dataset Compression Encode Type.
  • Character set: Set the character format of the copied Dataset. The default is the same as the copied Dataset. You can select another character set to change the character set used by the copied Dataset. For the supported character sets and their descriptions, see: A list of character sets .
  • SmID unchanged: Keep the attribute value of SmID field in Source Dataset unchanged.
Hint:
    The Copy Dataset button is available
  • only if there is a Dataset selected in Workspace Manager.
  • When multiple Datasets are copied in one operation, only multiple Datasets under the same Datasource can be selected, and multiple Datasets across Datasources cannot be selected.
    • When Copy Dataset
  • in UDB Datasource is transferred to Oracle or SQL Server Datasource, if there is text field in Dataset, in order to ensure that multiple languages in text field in UDB can be stored normally, Text fields in the Dataset are converted to wide character fields.
  • When PostGIS is used as Target Datasource, the field name is saved in lowercase after copying.
