TMSS10ExpireByDate

TMS10ExpirebyDate searches the Volumes and adds a Move Pending Flag (p) to all Volumes that match the Volume and Date Range filters.

Synopsis

TMSS10ExpireByDate [-O Expiry Date Range Offset File] [-R Expiry Date Range] [-S logonstring] [-V volumefilter] [-c Configuration File] [-f Force Expiry] [-r Repository Filter] [-t Test Mode]

Options

TMSS10ExpireByDate command options:

  • -O Expiry date range offset file location
  • -R Expiry date range
  • -S Logon string argument sets the Server Logon Information.
  • -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 the program output to syslogd.
  • -f Forces expiry
  • -r Target Repository
  • -t Test mode, true performs task without applying updates

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.

Exit Status

  1. zero Program has ended successfully.
  2. non-zero Program has not ended successfully.

Environment

TMSSSERVERPROXY If defined the program will route all TapeTrack TCP/IP traffic through a HTTPS proxy. The value of the variable should be in the format user:password@host:port. To debug the proxy connection use variable TMSSAPILOGDIR.

TMSSAPILOGDIR If defined the program will write out a trace file to this directory.

TMSSPWPATH When no password value is passed in the logon string the program will look for the password in file C:/tapetrack/pw/batch, where user is the user value passed in the logonstring. If you wish to change this default path, you can set the path in TMSSPWPATH.

TMSSNOMD5 If defined the program will not MD5 hash passwords before sending them to the TapeTrack Server. This is required when relying on Windows Active Directory authentication. It should be noted that although the password is not being hashed, it is still encrypted during transmission.
