Copy Links Between Assemblies
Calyx RIM enables you to copy links from assembly to assembly, view to assembly, or just by reusing the same file again in a different assembly.
The following applies to this feature:
- The link applicability setting determines ultimately whether an in-process link is copied from one assembly to the other. Application only links remain in the source application. Global links show up in new applications.
- Link profiles are not copied to new assemblies. They are always reset to the System Profile.
- Link output channels are copied in certain cases only. If the link has been created using in-process linking and the applicability is set to Global, the output channel is always copied to the new assembly. For Calyx RIM Xrefs, the output channel is always copied to the new assembly.
When copying an assembly from another assembly, the following rules impact how links are copied:
- Link applicability determines exactly whether links are copied across assemblies. Any links with Global Applicability are copied, and any links with Application Applicability are not copied.
- While lifecycle links are updated to point to the correct replaced leaf during publishing, the original targets are retained for an assembly copy. This is also to insure the links are valid if sequences are removed from lifecycle.
