Duplicate Noduplicate Causes the RMU Copy_Database command to generate a new database with the same content, but with a different identity from that of the original database. For this reason, .aij files cannot be interchanged between the original and the duplicate database. This qualifier creates copies of your databases that are expected to evolve independently in time. In this case, being able to exchange .aij files might be a security breach, and a likely source of corruption. A duplicate database has the same contents as the original database, but not the same identity. A database copied with the Noduplicate qualifier is an exact replica of the original database in every way and, therefore, .aij files can be interchanged between the original and duplicate database. The default is the Noduplicate qualifier.
