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: 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.
