File Creation Options

The createop attribute determines how the destination file is created. By default it has a value of new, which means that a file with the destination filename (either implicitly or explicitly specified) must not exist for it to be successfully written by UDM. If a file with that name does exist when UDM begins a copy operation, an error is issued.

If the value of the createop attribute is replace, the destination file is created if the destination file does not already exist. If it does exist, it is overwritten with the transferred data. If the value of createop is append and the file already exists, the data transferred is appended to the end of the data already in the existing file. If the file does not exist, a new file is created.
