   UUCP Dialog Box
   

3. Specify what file you want to copy, how you want it copied, and where you want it copied. Enter options - The copy options control how the copy/transfer is performed, provide for user notification via mail, and provide job statistics as well as debug information.

   The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
   This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.
   

   Enter source --the full pathname of the file to be copied 

   Enter destination --the full pathname to where you want the file copied; it can be a file or a directory

    

4. Click Apply. BMC PATROL prompts you for the password for the root account.
5. Type the root password and click OK. BMC PATROL writes the results to a BMC PATROL task object (UUCP) in the NETWORK container.
6. Access the UUCP task object as described in Accessing KM Commands and InfoBoxes and view the results.
