Populate command

Used in a Server.Load script to ensure that there are (NumMailNotesPerUser) documents in the current database.

This command locks the database to prevent other users from simultaneously performing another Populate command, gets the number of documents currently in the database, and adds documents as necessary.

Syntax

Populate (NumMailNotesPerUser) [folder]

Where:

  • NumMailNotesPerUser -- Total number of documents you want the database to have
  • folder -- Folder or view to which documents will be added

Example

This example creates and initializes a mail file(s); documents are added to folder $Inbox.
Note: Text enclosed in asterisks (**) indicates comments.
