A configuration file can be passed to the Server Utilities to enable selective processing of Volumes based on their inclusion or exclusion in a scan file list.
It also allows the scan file to be pointed to a definition file that can be used to create the scan list from a file that requires parsing before input into TapeTrack.
The config file has a path to the definition file, filter fields based on Customer-ID, Media-ID, Volume-ID and presence or lack of the Volume-ID in the scan file.
traversal =
{
scanfile= { file="example.ttidef"; };
customer =
(
{
id="*";
media =
(
{
id="*";
volume =
(
{
id="*";
scanfile=true;
skip=false;
},
{
id="*";
skip=true;
}
);
}
);
}
);
};
In this example, the definition file is example.tttidef, if the file is not in the current working directory, the full path must be supplied. The Customer-ID, Media-ID and Volume-ID filters are all set to the wildcard asterisk.
The filter scanfile filter is set to true, so if the Volume-ID is present in the scan file, ship will be set to true. In this case the Volume is processed by the utility program. If the Volume-ID is not in the scan file, skip is set to true and the Volume-ID is not processed and is bypassed.
