XMLAccess Samples

XMLAccess is a command-line utility for exporting and importing various portal configuration settings in an XML format.

On the portal file system, there are number of useful samples, which can be used as-is or a basis for creating your own scripts. Following is a list of the available XMLAccess samples. I wanted to list these on my blog because it’s often more convenient to check them here than on the actual server file system.
