====== Simple Management Cookbook ======

The purpose of this section is to provide practical examples on how to configure Simple Management to automate the scheduled movement of [[object:media|Media]] from one [[object:repository|Repository]] to another. 

See the [[subsystem:simplemanagement|Simple Management section]] for a detailed description.

===== Enabling Simple Management =====

Simple Management can be enabled for a [[object:volume_target|Target]] [[object:repository|Repository]], or for a specific [[object:volume|Volume]].

When enabled at a [[object:repository|Repository]] level, a matching Simple Management Rule must exist with a matching scope for every [[object:volume|Volume]] moved to that [[object:repository|Repository]].

When enabled for a specific [[object:volume|Volume]], a Simple Management Rule must exist with a matching scope that for every [[object:repository|Repository]] that the [[object:volume|Volume]] will move to.

==== Enabling at a Repository level ====
 
  * ''Force Simple Management'' option is set to ''True''. 
  * As Simple Management sets a Next Move Date, and [[object:volume|Volumes]] are traditionally moved using the [[cli:TMSS10MovePending|TMSS10MovePending]] program, it is recommended that the ''Next Repository'' option is set to an appropriate value.
