  3. Select each of the entries you want by clicking its corresponding check box and select whether to Copy, Move, Delete, or Set Owner.

    Procedures for each of these options follow.

5.1.1 Copy

This option copies the files specified in each of the entries you select. The option simply duplicates the files and places the duplicate versions in a location where the Data Owner has been granted access via a Workload policy.

  1. In the Description field, specify the purpose of the copy operation and click Next.

  2. In the Copy Options region, specify any of the applicable options.

    Copy Owner: Selecting this check box maintains the ownership information of the copied files. If this is not selected, the fdproxyrights group becomes the owner.

    Overwrite Data: When there is a naming conflict between files, this option allows you to overwrite the existing file with the one being copied.

    Copy Security: Selecting this check box maintains the security settings for the copied files. If this is not selected, the copied files inherit the security of the network file system location to where they are copied.

    • Merge Permissions: Merges permissions from the source to the target if the target contains permissions that are not present in the source. This applies to all folders and files in the source folder structure.

    • Overwrite Permissions: Overwrites permissions in the target with those found in the source. This applies to all folders and files in the target folder structure.

  3. Click Next.

  4. In the upper pane, browse to specify the location where the files will be copied.

  5. In the Target Path Options region, select one of the following:

    • Retain None of Source Path: Copies files to the specified location without creating any subdirectories to store the copied files.

      \\dynamics.cctec.org\DFS\HQ\HQSHARE\Finance\Data

      to

      \\dynamics.cctec.org\DFS\HQ\HQSHARE\Finance\Data\Gnance

      The copied files would be located in the Gnance folder where other files might be located.

    • Retain Rightmost Source Path Levels: This option copies the files to a location according to the number of levels you specify.

      For example, if you were copying files from the following location:

      \\dynamics.cctec.org\DFS\HQ\HQSHARE\Finance\Data

      to

      \\dynamics.cctec.org\DFS\HQ\HQSHARE\Finance\Data\Gnance

      and you select Retain Rightmost Source Path Levels and specify 1,

      the files would be copied to a new folder one level deeper in the path. The name of the new folder comes from the folder name one level higher in the current file path. So the files would be copied to:

      \\dynamics.cctec.org\DFS\HQ\HQSHARE\Finance\Data\Gnance\Data

    • Retain All of Source Path: This option copies the files to a subdirectory in the specified folder using a duplicate path where the files are stored.

      For example, if you were copying files from the following location:

      \\dynamics.cctec.org\DFS\HQ\HQSHARE\Finance\Data

      to

      \\dynamics.cctec.org\DFS\HQ\HQSHARE\Finance\Data\Gnance

      the files would be copied to:

      \\dynamics.cctec.org\DFS\HQ\HQSHARE\Finance\Data\Gnance\dynamics.cctec.org\DFS\HQ\HQSHARE\Finance\Data\

    • Discard Leftmost Source Path Levels: This option copies files to a subdirectory in the specified folder, based on the path where the files are stored, and the specified levels in the leftmost portion of the file path that you discard.

      For example, if you were copying files from the following location:

      \\dynamics.cctec.org\DFS\HQ\HQSHARE\Finance\Data

      to

      \\dynamics.cctec.org\DFS\HQ\HQSHARE\Finance\Data\Gnance

      and you select Discard Leftmost Source Path Levels and specify 2,

      the files would be copied to:

      \\dynamics.cctec.org\DFS\HQ\HQSHARE\Finance\Data\Gnance\HQ\HQSHARE\Finance\Data\

    The fields in the Example region will specify where files will be copied according to the options you select.

      \\dynamics.cctec.org\DFS\HQ\HQSHARE\Finance\Data

      to

      \\dynamics.cctec.org\DFS\HQ\HQSHARE\Finance\Data\Gnance
