Impact of updating spaces

The command copyspace has two modes:

  • Copy: All the content in the shared/Infor folder that is different from the delivered content is retained. This option does not copy the global filters that do not exist in the target space. The global filters must be created manually and applied to the dashboards after the dashboards are copied. If the global filter is already in the target space, you must not create the filters manually.
  • Replicate: All the content in the shared/Infor folder is replaced. The custom reports are overwritten. This option ensures that all global filters associated with the source dashboards are applied to the target. The replication process overwrites an existing filter setting in the target space with the settings from the source space. Modifications that are existing in the global filters of the target space are not displayed when this option is used.

You must review the list of changes that are overwritten for the existing customizations of the Infor Folder in the catalog. Ensure that you take a backup of the consumer space before executing these commands.

  • Filter Changes: The customizations are replaced by the latest changes from SMD space after the update if these filters are modified:
