Output Results
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: LIBR, Repository Description: Library, Repository Type: 1, Next Repository: OFFS.
- Repository ID: OFFS, Repository Description: Iron Mountain, Repository Type: 2 and Next Repository: LIBR.
This directive has the effect of inlining 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.
