</Batch>

Remarks

The Batch element must include the Method element.

While the Microsoft FrontPage DLL can post only one command at a time to the server, this element allows the client to post more than one at a time.

Example

The following example, if contained within HTTP protocol, would return a Documents list from the server.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ows:Batch OnError="Return">
  <Method ID="0,ExportList">
    <SetList Scope="Request">Documents</SetList>
    <SetVar Name="Cmd">ExportList</SetVar>
  </Method> 
</ows:Batch>
