copying a channel.
|
|
|
| Hi, one of my user told me that he copied a channel named "DAG" then changed
its name so now he has two channels named respectively "DAG" and "DGAG". He
then wanted to export the newly created channel "DGAG" and import it to
another MCMS database to have his two channels in this database too.
But upon importing the channel, it seems that the old DAG channel was
overwritten by the new one instead of creating a new one??? What went wrong?
were they sharing the same ID?
Thank's for the answer.

| Hi Luc,
looks as if he renamed and exported to original channel and not the new one.
Items in MCMS are identiifed by GUID.
Rename does not change the GUID.
You need to rename DGAG back to DAG and the other channel to DGAG.
Cheers,
Stefan
