Hi Mary, you should be able to zip a resource folder in the IPTs data directory and upload that to create a new resource. There seems to be a bug though that is fixed already for the next release later this week: http://code.google.com/p/gbif-providertoolkit/issues/detail?id=538
Otherwise you should also be able to just manually copy a resource config folder in the filesystem while the IPT is not running. This should work at least for not yet registered resources. Once they are registered I would not recommend to do this.
best, Markus

Hi, I have just recently set up a brand new IPT and have been working with one test dataset. I have finally mapped my fields to the DwC and now would like to load a few more resources.
All of the files being uploaded will be in OBIS format. Is there a way to copy over my mappings? Can I make a replicate of a resource and then simply change the underlying source data? I don't see how one can change the resourceName... the mapping exercise was tedious...(boring)and not something that I wish to do manually each time I have a new dataset. Any suggestions?
Help!
