Goal

This note provides sample code to move a Content DB folder to a new destination.

Simply add the code below in a file called MoveFolder.java under <SDK_location>\cdb\src\oracle\ifs\examples\api and run it as a sample.

Update the folderToMove and destination strings below:
folderToMove is the full path of the folder you want to move to a location
folderToMoveTo is the path of the location where you want to move the folder to
