    Before you begin

    Role required: clone_admin

    Preserving large amounts of data can significantly increase your clone duration. When creating a preserver use conditions to preserve only the data that you need.

    The Preservers tab displays a list of all of your available data preservers. Preservers protect data on the target instance from being overwritten. If you have custom applications, you must also manually preserve your unpublished application content. To create a preserver, do the following.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Clone Admin Console > Clone Home.
    2. Select Definitions from the secondary navigation bar.
    3. Select the Preservers tab.
    4. On the Preservers task page, select New.
    5. Enter the table label as the Name for your preserver.
      Note:
      The data preserver must have a table selected or it can't be submitted.
    6. Select the Table to be preserved.
    7. Select the Theme check box if the data being preserved is a UI property.
    8. Define the data to be preserved using the Condition builder, and select Save.
      The success message displays.
