COPY Function Syntax Parameters Examples Related commands Function The COPY command is the scripting equivalent to the COPY action available in the Application Developer rule. The COPY command works with variables to enable the administrator to create objects with different names while maintaining the structure, leaf items, aliases, permissions, rules and group membership. The COPY command will copy leaf items, containers, and aliased containers. Permissions, rules, and group membership are also duplicated. All membership lists will be empty. Separate the components of the path with colons. The PATHCHAR command can be used to change the default path character. Important If the COPY command is used against conferences or calendars without variables, the resulting containers must be renamed before they will function normally.         Note If you want to create an alias of an existing object rather than a duplicate copy, use the LINK SPECIAL, LINK PATH, or LINK USER commands.
