Create a Data Movement View

You can create a data movement view, which uses the same specifications as the source data movement entry, but has different properties such as schedules and variables.

Creating a data movement view does not change the original data movement entry. You can determine the source data movement entry by viewing the properties of the data movement view. The properties also provide a link to the properties of the source entry.

If the source entry is moved to another location, the data movement view link is not broken. If the source entry is deleted, the view icon changes to indicate a broken link Broken link icon , and the properties link to the source entry is removed.

You can run a data movement view, schedule a data movement view, and set the number of occurrences and duration of the run history. For more information, see Schedule Management. You can disable the entry Disable an Entry.

Before you begin

You must have the required permissions for the data movement entry. For more information, see Secured Functions and Features.
