Copying event collections
You can copy a collection as a new collection. When you copy a collection that was created by
members, you copy the collection and its members into the new collection. If you edit the original
collection after you copy it to the new collection, the newly copied collection is not updated. For
example, if the original collection has two members, the same two members copy to the new
collection. If you edit the original collection to add another member after you copy it, the newly
copied collection is not modified.
When you copy a collection that was created based on attributes, you copy the collection attributes
into the new collection. If you edit the original collection after you copy it to the new collection,
the newly copied collection does not reflect these edits.
When you copy a combination collection, the newly created collection has the same system
collection and event collection. If you edit the original collection after you copy it to the new
collection, the newly copied collection is not updated. For more information about collections, see
the HP Systems Insight Manager User Guide, at http://www.hp.com/go/insightmanagement/
sim/docs.
