===== Sample Script =====

A sample slotting script to execute TMSS10SlotAllocation can be found in your TapeTrack Install at TapeTrack\TapeTrack Framework Server\scripts\Slotting.bat

This script will allocate a Volume to a vacant Slot that is in a location eligible for slotting.

You will need to edit the variable TTSERVER to reflect your username, password and server address if any of these values are updated (eg if you set a password value for tapemaster, or you want to use another User-ID to run the script). 

While it is possible to execute this script manually when required, it is recommended that this script be scheduled to run every 5 minutes.
