How to Move & Add Version using OScript?

Hi,My scenario is this: there is an existing document A in folder A, and when a user adds document B in folder B, document B is to be added as a new version to document A in folder A, and this version (residing in folder A) will be called. I was able to utilize the CopyVersion() function to get a copy of document B and add it as a new version of document A, but there is still a document B in folder B. Is it possible to move document B to folder A and add it as a new version to document A so that when document B's ID is referenced, it actually points to the latest version of document A residing in folder A? Your help would be much appreciated!

Hi Julia,

It sounds as though you might want to create either an Alias or a Generation. An alias is an object that references another object, and which will typically default to the latest version of that item. A Generation is a reference to a particular version of an item, not changed when additional versions are added to the original item. (Note that the existence of a Generation affects the ability to delete the item.)

In the user interface an Alias is known as "Shortcut" to the end-user.
