From a Stream Set List it is possible to copy or move the Stream Sets to another Stream by dragging either the icon (representing all data i.e. all Stream Sets) or a selection of Stream Sets onto another Stream or Stream Set List. After dragging this icon on top of the target stream, a form will pop up so that you can request a copy or a move of the data. Move can only be used when all data is being moved using the icon. It is not possible to move only a selection of stream sets.

Note that this operation can only be used to copy or move data to a Stream which had been originally been copied from the source Stream. PhixFlow currently matches the internal field names of the Stream Attributes in order to work out how to reattach the data to the target Stream.

PhixFlow will warn you if the copy or move operation is likely to result in data being removed e.g. because an Attribute does not exist on the target Stream. To reduce the possibility of losing data, we recommend always using the copy operation so that the original data is preserved. This data can then be removed later from the source stream, if needed, using the rollback option.

The move option is provided for cases when there is a very large set of data that needs to be transferred to the target Stream and there is either limited space available on the PhixFlow database or the copy will take longer than you are willing to wait. Note that moving data happens immediately. The time take to copy the data is determined by the speed of your PhixFlow database server.

PhixFlow will create log entries for the move or copy operation in the System Console.
