  • Auto Create

    From IB Joe@1:342/201 to All on Sun Feb 13 12:12:20 2022
    Does FMail autocreate message bases, on the fly and adds the downlinks to these new areas??

    Hi IB,

    It's not on the fly, but you can fully automate it with this FTools function:

    6.11 Addnew

    Automatically add new areas detected during FMail Toss to the
    FMAIL.AR. FMail will use the default settings defined in the
    AreaMgr defaults section of FConfig. A name for JAM areas is
    generated automatically.

    ÿ FTools Addnew [-A]

    [-A] AutoExport external config files
    See paragraph 3.5.2 for which files this relates to,
    and how to configure them.

    and adds the downlinks to these new areas??

    Only the link which was responsible for (auto)creating the area is added as export node.

    Bye, Wilfred.
