You can clone a virtual service located in the file system using the command line, without having to open the Designer.

To prepare for running the command, do one of the following:

• On the OpenText Service Virtualization Designer machine, open a command prompt. Navigate to the \bin folder under the OpenText Service Virtualization Designer installation folder. By default, C:\Program Files\OpenText\Service Virtualization Designer\Designer\bin.
