Copying Data Links And Lookup Links

Data links and lookup links can be copied between steps. This may save time in configuring a DTS because you don't need to recreate links that have already been created in other steps.

To copy a link

  1. On the Data Formulas tab, highlight the link(s) you want to copy. You can use the CTRL key to highlight multiple links.
  2. Right-click a selected link and click either Copy Data Link or Copy Lookup Link. The Select Step dialog box appears.

    Note: The menu options are unavailable if there is only one step defined, or if selected links are from differing steps.

  3. Select the step to which you want to copy the highlighted link(s).
  4. Click OK to copy the link(s) to the selected step.
