TMSS10VolumeRename

This program renames, or assigns a new Volume-ID, a Volume or list of Volumes

Synopsis

TMSS10VolumeRename [-S logonstring] [-V volumefilter] [-C new Customer-ID] [-M new Media-ID] [-N new Volume-ID] [-c configfile] [-l Live mode]

Description

TMSS10VolumeRename will rename the Volume-ID of a current Volume or list of Volumes , keeping history records associated with that Volume/s.

Options

TMSS10VolumeRename command options:

  • -S The Logon String argument sets the Server Logon Information.
  • -V The volume filter argument sets the Volume Filter which can be used to filter the traversal of Customer, Media and Volume values. The format of this filter is c.m.v@r, where c is Customer-ID filter, m is Media-ID filter, v is Volume-ID filter and r is Repository-ID filter. To process only Volumes not in Repository ACME, “*.*.*@!(ACME).
  • -C New Customer-ID.
  • -M New Media-ID.
  • -N New Volume-ID.
  • -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.
  • -l Live mode.

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.
