Copy an existing policy

Rather than create all of your policies from the beginning, you can make copies of the original policy and then edit the sections of the policy that differ from the original policy.

In iSeries™ Navigator, this quality of service (QoS) function is called New based on. You must use iSeries Navigator to access the QoS window that enables you to proceed with copying policies.

To create a copy of an existing policy, follow the steps in Create a new policy based on an existing policy within the iSeries Navigator help.

Before your policies can take effect, you must enable them by starting the QoS server or performing a dynamic server update. Before you enable the policies, be sure to look for overlapping policies that might cause problems.
