Hi

Is there somebody knows how to apply recursively a RM parameters from the parent's folder ?
We are using Object Importer script, how make this script spread these parameters across the folders below ?

Is there a tag that we can add to recursively change all children from the current object ?

<import>
<node type="folder" action="update">
<location>Enterprise:WORK:FOLDER:232323</location>
<rmclassification filenumber="888.10.HIS.DDM">
<status>ARH</status>
<subject>This is a different subject1111</subject>
</rmclassification>
</node>
</import>

Thanks in advance.
 
I would after you apply it to the folder go to it and open the the RM screen.In that perhaps you make a simple change like the comments or something like that.
When you hit update it will ask "do you want to apply the changes to this object or its children with two prompts"
This also follows the setting in RM Classified objects that says "inherit from the parent"

If you want to apply it with OI the way would be to have node instructions for every child or it may inherit I do not know unless I tested all the params.

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?

Yes this is issue. Is there a tag statement in the Object Importer that we can add to recursively apply any kind of changes to all children from the current object ?
We know how to get each childrens nodes, but the problem is we have 38,000 items which are not classified and spread across over 13,000 folders.
And one thing we found is changing the RM 'status' from the parent's folder and then hit the update "do you want to apply the changes to this object or its children with two prompts" it will update all the objects below ! This is the simplest way to correct the problem of classifcation we have..
