Comments

A folder is a container of jobs, job streams, or sub-folders and has a tree-like structure similar to a file system. The folder name is an alphanumeric string that cannot start with a "-" (hyphen), but it can contain the following characters: "/" (forward slash), "-" (hyphen), and "_" (underscore). It cannot contain spaces. If an object is not defined in a folder, then the default folder "/" is used. If you specify an absolute path, include a "/" forward slash before the folder name. A forward slash is not necessary for relative paths. The maximum length for the full folder path (that is, the path name including the parent folder and all nested sub-folders) is 800 characters, while each folder name supports a maximum of 256 characters. Wildcard characters are supported. A single scheduling object belongs to one folder only, but each folder can contain numerous objects.
