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
Errors Resulting in a Partial Copy
Post-Failure Steps

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.
