-  - Lists all [[object:volume|Volumes]] with a Scratch Flag.+  - Lists all [[object:volume|Volumes]] with a Scratch [[common:volume_flags|Flag]].
  
-This command is particularly helpful for platforms such as Tivoli Storage Manager, which deletes Scratch [[object:volume|Volume]] from its [[object:volume|Volume]] Table, as you can schedule the command to run once per week to reset all [[object:volume|Volumes]] to Scratch then remove the Scratch Flag using TMSS10Sync during the week. Then when the program is run subsequently the next week, it will move each [[object:volume|Volume]] that still has the Scratch Flag set to a new Repository.+This command is particularly helpful for platforms such as Tivoli Storage Manager, which deletes Scratch [[object:volume|Volume]] from its [[object:volume|Volume]] Table, as you can schedule the command to run once per week to reset all [[object:volume|Volumes]] to Scratch then remove the Scratch [[common:volume_flags|Flag]] using TMSS10Sync during the week.

-<note important>Please note that when running ''TMSS10MoveScratch'' with the ''-R'' argument set you must be sure that the process that sets the Scratch Flag to false has run. In the event that this is multiple processes (where you have multiple backup catalogs) you must be sure that all processes would have run. In the event that not all Scratch Flags that should have been removed have not been removed, it is possible that non-Scratch [[object:volume|Volumes]] will be moved.+<note important>Please note that when running ''TMSS10MoveScratch'' with the ''-R'' argument set you must be sure that the process that sets the Scratch [[common:volume_flags|Flag]] to false has run.
