TMSS10LibraryManager manages Scratch Volume levels within the Target Repository.
Metrics used to monitor Volume levels include Repository capacity, Volumes moving in and out of the Repository, minimum Scratch Volumes required, Repository Scratch levels, available Scratch Volumes from other Repositories and free slot requirements.
TMSS10LibraryManager [-C Customer-ID] [-M Media-ID] [-R Repository-ID] [-S logon string] [-T target repository] [-V volume filter] [-c configuration file] [-e ejection filter] [-f minimum free slots] [-r repository scratch order] [-s minimum scratch volumes]
-C Customer-ID-M Media-ID -S The Logon string argument sets the Server Logon Information-T Target Repository for Volumes if ejection is required to make room for minimum Scratch quantity. If not specified, no Volumes will be ejected.-V Volume Filter which can be used to filter the traversal of Customer, Media, Volume, Repository and Flag values.-c The config file argument specifies the path to the Batch Configuration File. The Batch Configuration File allows you to perform advanced traversal of Customer, Media and Volumes, perform advanced Barcode pre and post processing and route program output to syslogd. 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.-e Volume ejection exclusion filter-r Repository Scratch Order override. syntax -r “RAC1=0;RAC2=30;RAC3=20” sets Scratch Rack priority to RAC2, then RAC3, excluding RAC1.
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.

| 2016-11-18 | Enhanced argument parser to allow arguments in format *FI:filename that allows loading of arguments from a file |
| 2016-06-05 | Fixed bug where excluded volumes were unconditionally added to the totals |
| 2016-06-05 | Fixed bug where metrics were incorrectly reported |
| 2016-05-27 | Changed bug where move candidates were sorted in ascending last move date orderd (rather than decending) |
| 2016-05-27 | Fixed bug where non-scratch tapes were excluded from library inventory count |
| 2016-05-27 | Added argument to exclude Volumes from candidate queue (i.e. Scratch Volumes) |
| 2016-05-27 | Aging report will now only print if there are Volumes in the queue to move |
