Duplicating Descriptors
A number of standard descriptors are created by the installation program. These standard descriptors are read-only so as to avoid conflicts when you upgrade your version of HOPEX. If you want to make changes to a standard descriptor, you must duplicate it.To duplicate a descriptor:
1. From HOPEX, open the Utilities navigation window.
To access the Utilities window, from HOPEX menu bar select View > Navigation Windows > Utilities.2. In the Descriptors folder, right-click the descriptor you want to duplicate and select Duplicate.
The Duplicate an Object (Descriptor) dialog box appears.
3. In the Strategy field, keep Duplicate value if you want to modify descriptor content (example: query).
Select Reuse descriptors and queries if you only want to reuse the descriptor content.4. (Optional) In the Prefix/Suffix field, modify the prefix/suffix used by default to create the name of duplicated descriptors.
By default: (Duplicate) suffix.5. (Optional) Modify the Name of the duplicated descriptor.
6. (If needed) In the Library pane, select Create duplicates in another library (for objects stored in a library) and select the library in the drop down list.
