Example Script

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ytriaAutomation Application="scanEZ" ApplicationVersion="16.5">
<Load Server="ACME01/ACME" database="maildbtest1.nsf"/>
<CreateFolder Name="NewFolder2" Type="Private" CopyFrom="NewFolder1"/>
</ytriaAutomation>

In the script above, the database "maildbtest1.nsf" will be loaded in scanEZ. The action CreateFolder will then trigger the a create folder operation. The tag attributes are defined to produce the same results as the example syntax shown in the beginning of this page. The name of the new folder will be "NewFolder2". It will be private and the inheritance will be copied from the folder "NewFolder1". This folder name is selected in the default manner (name & alias) that is, the folder only has a name "NewFolder1" with no aliases defined.
