To Copy and Paste Metadata

You can copy metadata from one source and paste it into another. You can copy and paste all the metadata from a data source, but not select parts. Because metadata standards require the metadata for forced-update fields to come directly from their data sources, any pasted metadata that differs from the values in these fields will not be saved.

To copy and paste metadata

1. In the Metadata Viewer, right-click the data source from which you want to copy metadata.
2. Click Copy Metadata to Clipboard.
3. Right-click the data source to which you want to paste the metadata.
4. Click Paste Metadata from Clipboard.

   The pasted metadata is displayed in the Metadata Tab.
