Errors During a Project Copy
The following sections describe the possible errors encountered during Project Copy process:
Errors Resulting in Failure of the Entire Project Copy
If the Project Copy encounters an error while performing any of the following operations, the entire copy process is stopped with a Failed status in the Jobs queue and on the target project’s dashboard:
- Initiation of the copy process
- Validation that the target project name is unique in the system
- Copy of project settings
- Copy of information about the last successful scan
- Copy of physical source code
Errors Resulting in a Partial Copy
If the sub-operation that copies any of the following entities fails, the entire Project Copy process fails (with a Failed status); but any data copied up to the point of error is retained.
- File data
- Inventory
- Inventory alerts
- Inventory workflow
- Inventory custom fields
- Inventory file associations
Post-Failure Steps
When a Project Copy fails, the target project’s dashboard indicates which copy operation failed but does not display scan statistics as it normally would after a successful copy. You can still explore the project’s Summary tab, Project Inventory tab, and Analysis Workbench to view what was copied.
To attempt the Project Copy again, navigate to the target project’s Summary tab and delete the project. The source project remains available, enabling you to remediate the copy issue and run the Project Copy again.
