The CPYHLPTREE command in TURNOVER® for iSeries v100 is used to copy an entire Wisedesk help tree, including its categories, subcategories, search strings, and structure from one tree to another. It’s a powerful way to replicate guidance frameworks across projects, environments, or training modules without rebuilding them from scratch.
What CPYHLPTREE Does
- Duplicates an existing help tree structure
- Copies all categories and subcategories
- Includes associated search strings and task filters
- Preserves the hierarchy and sequence
- Optionally links the new tree to a different project, resource, or requester
It’s the command-line equivalent of using option 3=Copy on the Work with Help Trees panel.
