Copying an alarm definition

You can copy an alarm definition from any alarm definition list view.

When you copy an alarm definition, the original definition remains the same, and a new definition is created (see also Moving-or-renaming-an-alarm-definition and Deploying-alarm-definitions).

To copy an alarm definition

  1. Open one of the alarm definition list views.
  2. On the row of the alarm definition you want to copy, type CO in the CMD column.
  3. Over type the Alarm Name, Group Name, or Library name values with a new value.

Important

  • If you copy an alarm definition that is not in the ACTIVE library, and you put the copy in the ACTIVE library, the copy will not be active until you make it active (see Activating-an-alarm-definition).
  • If you copy an alarm definition from a library other than the ACTIVE library, and you put the copy in the ACTIVE library, the alarm will not be made active when it is copied (see Activating-an-alarm-definition).
  • If you copy an alarm definition to a library or group that contains an alarm with the same name, you are prompted to either confirm or cancel the request.
  1. Press Enter to copy the alarm definition.
