TMSS10AssignContainer

TMSS10AssignContainer, using a configuration file, allocates Volumes to a Container for storage or transportation.

Synopsis

TMSS10AssignContainer [-N Do not allocate when already in a container] [-S logon string] [-V volume filter] [-c Configuration file]

Options

If an argument value starts with the value FI:, the value for that attribute will be read from the file name specified immediately after it. For example, if a file named ACME_volumes has the content ACME_*.*, specifying FI:/etc/ACME_volumes will have the same effect as -V ACME.*.*. Using FI: to refer to a file for an attribute value works for all attributes.

If the pattern being matched starts with *LIST: then rather than matching the literal value, each record in the file specified as *LIST:filename will be tested. If one matches the match will succeed.

Configuration file capabilities vary from program to program but the syntax remains the same. In the event that logic is not supported it will simply be ignored. The following example will set the default Customer-ID and Media-ID for all scanned Barcodes:

 barcodes = 
{ 
	defaults={ customer-id="ACME"; media-id="LTO"; };
};

Exit Status

  1. zero Program has ended successfully.
  2. non-zero Program has not ended successfully.

Environment

TMSSSERVERPROXY If defined the program will route all TapeTrack TCP/IP traffic through a HTTPS proxy. The value of the variable should be in the format user:password@host:port. To debug the proxy connection use variable TMSSAPILOGDIR.

TMSSAPILOGDIR If defined the program will write out a trace file to this directory.

TMSSPWPATH When no password value is passed in the logon string the program will look for the password in file C:/tapetrack/pw/batch, where user is the user value passed in the logonstring. If you wish to change this default path, you can set the path in TMSSPWPATH.

TMSSNOMD5 If defined the program will not MD5 hash passwords before sending them to the TapeTrack Server. This is required when relying on Windows Active Directory authentication. It should be noted that although the password is not being hashed, it is still encrypted during transmission.
