var existingCatalogLayer = MapView.Active.Map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().OfType<CatalogLayer>().FirstOrDefault();
if (existingCatalogLayer != null)
{
  var catalogDataset = existingCatalogLayer.GetCatalogDataset();
  //Configure the settings for a new Catalog layer using the CatalogDataset of an existing layer
  var catalogLyrParams = new CatalogLayerCreationParams(catalogDataset);
  catalogLyrParams.Name = "NewCatalogLayerFromAnotherCatalogLayer";
  catalogLyrParams.DefinitionQuery = new DefinitionQuery("Query1", "cd_itemname = 'Asia'");
