Function

Add cabinets by copying the profiles of the new cabinets from a specified cabinet.

Note:
Administrator status is not copied to the new cabinets.

Utility Parameters

The program requires the Source-cabinet-name from which it copies the system cabinet defaults and cabinet and user profiles, and the owners. If the source cabinet does not exist, the program terminates.

The Source-cabinet-name need be coded only once. The other parameters can be coded as often as desired (i.e. equal to the number of new cabinets to be added).

If a period (.) or empty line is coded, the procedure stops.

Procedure

The type of cabinet which is added will be the same type as the source cabinet specified.

Source Cabinet = Private Cabinet

If the source cabinet is a private cabinet, you must specify a New-cabinet-name, Last-name and First-name. Initial and Password are optional.

Source Cabinet = Standalone Cabinet, Shared Cabinet, Public Cabinet

If the source cabinet is a standalone, shared or public cabinet, you must specify a New-cabinet-name and a Description. A password is optional (as a third parameter).

Note:
If you do not specify a password for a cabinet, the New-cabinet-name is used as the password.

Batch Example

Three new cabinets are to be added, using a private cabinet as the Source-cabinet. The first cabinet (newcabname1) is to have a user-defined password, whereas the others use the respective cabinet-name as default passwords. The new cabinets will all have the same profile as the source cabinet. This would be coded as follows: 

LOGON SYSCNT2B 
MENU 
B01050 
sourcecabname
newcabname1,lastname1,firstname1,initial,password
newcabname2,lastname2,firstname2 
newcabname3,lastname3,firstname3 
.
FIN

Two new cabinets are to be added, using a shared cabinet as the Source-cabinet. The second cabinet uses the Cabinet-name as the default password. The new cabinets will all have the same profile as the source cabinet. This would be coded as follows: 

LOGON SYSCNT2B 
MENU 
B01050 
sourcecabname
sharedcabname1,description,password 
sharedcabname2,description 
.
