TMSS10ExportFile

TMSS10ExportFile will extract TapeTrack data so that it can be reloaded to another TapeTrack Server.

Synopsis

TMSS10ExportFile [-S logon string] [-V volume filter] [-c config file] [-f output file] [-h download history]

Options

  • -S The 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 program output to syslogd. Configuration File capabilities vary from program to program but the syntax remains the same. In the event that logic is not supported it will simply be ignored.
  • -f Output file name.
  • -h Don't download Volume history records (default = false).

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.
