Unable to Rename a Pipleline as same as Datastage Flow - SAVE AS option not available

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

While trying to take a backp/copy of a datastage flow/parallel job, we are able to change the name of the job without opening the actual job(Snapshot1). But when we try to do the same for Pipeline, the job name is suffixed with "_copy_1" by default. So the only option we have to rename the Pipeline is to open the Pipeline and then use the properties to edit the job name. Basically we don't have that "Save As" / "Duplicate Flow" popup for Pipleine.

    The bank has made it clear that they want a "Save As" or "Duplicate" option as requested in this Idea. The workaround suggested is not sufficient.

    Via email, Adrian Lee suggested the following as a solution:


    BofA can duplicate their pipeline and then rename it on the asset’s page. It’s not the “Save As” flow that they are looking for, but this would eliminate their need to enter the flow and rename it from there. Can you confirm this works?

    Today, the bank responded that this is not what they want. They said their end users want the Save As or Duplicate option as outlined in the RFE submission.
