Is it possible to clone PDI?

[Kalyani34]

Hi All, I just want to know that is it possible to clone one PDI with another PDI. I tried to set the "glide.db.clone.allow_clone_target" property to true, but it is not allowing me to do that. It is showing

"This item is read-only based on its protection policy."

Hi Kalyani,

No. cloning of PDI is not possible.

HI,

You cant do that. Cloning is part of the instance maintenance for commercially used instances, while the Idea of having a PDI is purely to learn and experiment on things.

 That is why PDI have options wo wipe instance and refresh but you can clone it.

Agreed. And cloning, moving update sets, building development pipelines to move things between 2 instances at max, would also be a good learn and experiment.
