When you copy a global type, the copy can be created as a global
type or a local type.
When you copy a global type to the same name (in a different
VOB), the
cptype command creates the copy as a global type
when either of these conditions is true:
- The source VOB of the original type and destination VOB of the copy are
members of the same administrative VOB hierarchy. (The copy then points to
that administrative VOB hierarchy.)
- The original global type resides in a VOB that is an administrative VOB
of the copy’s destination VOB (where cptype creates
a local copy).
In all other cases, the type is created as an ordinary type.
