====== Volume Flags ====== [[object:volume|Volume]] Flags represent one or more Boolean statuses of a single tape [[object:volume|Volume]]. Depending on the respective Flag, the Flag may be automatically set, or may be set and unset by the user. These Flags can be used to filter tapes by status, for instance, scratch tapes, or encrypted tapes, may be used together to facilitate filtering on all scratch tapes, that are not encrypted. {{:master:tapemaster_flags.png}} ===== Flag Definitions ===== ^ Flag Value ^ Description ^ Settable ^ | **A** | (Depreciated function) [[object:volume|Volume]] has a Container Security Tag assigned. | No | | **a** | [[object:volume|Volume]] has failed a Physical Audit or a Logical Audit (Set by Reconciliation). | **Yes** | | **B** | [[object:volume|Volume]] is a Container. | No | | **C** | [[object:volume|Volume]] is confirmed in its Current [[object:repository|Repository]]. | No | | **c** | [[object:volume|Volume]] is part of a Consignment. | No | | **D** | [[object:volume|Volume]] has a Move Date. | No | | **d** | [[object:volume|Volume]] Move Date is in the past. | No | | **E** | [[object:volume|Volume]] is encrypted. | **Yes** | | **F** | [[object:volume|Volume]] has been set as a [[master:favorites_list|Favorite]] | No | | **G** | [[object:volume|Volume]] has missed a [[technote:reports|reporting]] deadline. | **Yes** | | **H** | [[object:volume|Volume]] Move Date is a Holiday. | No | | **h** | [[object:volume|Volume]] is hidden (ghosted). | **Yes** | | **I** | [[object:volume|Volume]] is moving internally (from one Slot to another in the same [[object:repository|Repository]]). | No | | **K** | [[object:volume|Volume]] has been Picked-Up. | **Yes** | | **L** | [[object:volume|Volume]] has an update lock and cannot be updated by anyone other than the [[common:tapemaster_user|tapemaster User]]. | **Yes** | | **l** | [[object:volume|Volume]] has a move lock and cannot be moved. | **Yes** | | **M** | [[object:volume|Volume]] is moving from one [[object:repository|Repository]] to another. | No | | **m** | [[object:volume|Volume]] has a Home Slot. | No | | **N** | [[object:volume|Volume]] has a Description. | No | | **n** | [[object:volume|Volume]] has no Slot assigned. | No | | **O** | [[object:volume|Volume]] is in the Primary Offsite [[object:repository|Repository]]. | No | | **o** | [[object:volume|Volume]] is overdue at its Target [[object:repository|Repository]]. | No | | **p** | [[object:volume|Volume]] has been set as Move Pending as its Move Date has been exceeded (Set by [[cli:TMSS10MovePending|TMSS10MovePending]]). | **Yes** | | **Q** | [[object:volume|Volume]] has been flagged as unhealthy by a VeriTape system. | **Yes** | | **r** | [[object:volume|Volume]] has been requested back from a Third-Party. | **Yes** | | **S** | [[object:volume|Volume]] always uses [[cookbook:simplemanagement|Simple Management]]. | **Yes** | | **t** | Do not assign a Slot to this [[object:volume|Volume]]. | **Yes** | | **U** | [[object:volume|Volume]] has been scanned out of the Current [[object:repository|Repository]] using either TapeTrack Lite or TapeTrack Check Point. | **Yes** | | **u** | [[object:volume|Volume]] has been flagged as a duplicate. | **Yes** | | **W** | [[object:volume|Volume]] has a warning (has moved back to its original [[object:repository|Repository]] without having been confirmed at it's Target [[object:repository|Repository]]). | **Yes** | | **X** | [[object:volume|Volume]] has been Audit-Scanned. | **Yes** | | **Z** | [[object:volume|Volume]] is Scratch. | **Yes** | ===== Using Flags ===== TapeTrack uses many of the [[object:volume|Volume]] Flag internally to pass information from one program to another, but Flag can also be used to filter information for [[technote:reports|reporting]] purposes. ==== Using Flags for Reporting ==== [[object:volume|Volume]] Flag can be used for [[technote:reports|reporting]] purposes in both [[:#tapetrack-desktop-software|TapeTrack Windows Desktop Programs]] and [[cli:introduction|TapeTrack Command Line Programs]]. For details on how to use the [[object:volume|Volume]] Flags in [[technote:reports|reporting]] see the [[common:volume_flag_filters|Volume Flag Filters]] section. ==== Setting and Unsetting Flags ==== Some [[object:volume|Volume]] Flag can be set and unset by performing operations on the respective [[object:volume|Volume]], for instance, when you move a [[object:volume|Volume]], the [[object:volume|Volume]] will get a move Flag, and when you confirm a [[object:volume|Volume]] the move Flag will be removed. Other Flag can only be set and unset by the user requesting that they change, and the remaining Flag are a hybrid that are set by an activity, and then unset manually. === Changing Flags via the Command Line === [[object:volume|Volume]] Flags are indirectly set by the following Command Line Programs: ^ Program ^ Notes ^ | [[cli:TMSS10ModifyFlags|TMSS10ModifyFlags]] | Sets and unsets Flags that can be modified without performing a corresponding action. | | [[cli:TMSS10ExpireByDate|TMSS10ExpireByDate]] | Sets the Move Pending Flag. | === Changing Flags via the Desktop === A selection of [[#flag-definitions|Flags]] can be [[:master:set_volume_flags|applied to or removed from Volumes]] via the [[:master:inventory_right_menu|right-click inventory window menu]] in TapeMaster. To remove a W Flag select that [[object:volume|Volume]] and press F2.
