From db2 or oracle stage if u want to use extracted table information in different stages we can go for copy stage ..it reduces the processing time or if u want to use same metadata in different target files or different stages go for copy stage ..like a virtual storage

copy stage purpose is to avoid the unwanted columns in output table means in a table u have 10 columns but u want 5 columns then you use copy stage to get which columns you want

Besides used for making copies of the input, copy stage is also helpful for achieving

1) dropping columns between stages
2) to change column names
3) if the scenario is to end the job flow directly from an active stage where you donot want to write the output to a file, then copy stage can be added after that active stage without connecting any output link to the copy stage.

Use Copy stage for simple operations like :

•to multicast the same input data among multiple output links.
•placeholder between stages to avoid buffer issues
•renaming Columns
•dropping Columns
•implicit (default) type Conversions
