TMSS10BatchLoader
TMSS10BatchLoader creates Customer, Media and Repositories by loading a Configuration file into the TapeTrack Database.
Synopsis
TMSS10BatchLoader [-c configuration file] [-S logonstring]
Options
-cThe config file argument specifies the path to the Batch Configuration File.-SLogon string argument sets the Server logon information.
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 Files - Minimising Duplicate Code
When creating multiple Customers with identical Media Types and/or Repositories it is possible to create a configuration file with these Attributes and include it in the master configuration file to save duplication of code blocks.
To create two customers, US01 and US02, with:
- Media-ID: LTO, Media Description: LTO Cartridge.
- Media-ID: 3490, Media Description: IBM 3490 Cartridge.
- Repository-ID: OFFS, Repository Description: Iron Mountain, Repository Type: 2 and Next Repository: LIBR.
This directive has the effect of in-lining the contents of the named file at the point of inclusion.
An include directive must appear on its own line in the input. It has the form:
@include “filename”
Any backslashes or double quotes in the filename must be escaped as ‘\\’ and ‘\“’, respectively.
