Once you have arranged access to an FTP Inventory file from Iron Mountain, TapeTrack SecureSync can be set up to automatically download and reconcile that file against your TapeTrack Database.

Iron Mountain, once requested and established, upload a CSV file which lists all of the Volumes Iron Mountain are currently storing for you.

This file should s list all inventory for all known accounts currently in SecureSync and should be made available on Iron Mountain's FTP server once per day.

Your Iron Mountain account rep needs to complete the attached form (although TapeTrack users normally complete it themselves).

The only information TapeTrack uses is the account code, barcode and media type, if the file has the other usual fields we ignore them.

It usually takes a few days for Iron Mountain to provision the FTP credentials and start dropping the file each day.

A sample script is included in your SecureSync installation, located at TapeTrack\TapeTrack SecureSync\scripts\Reconcile.bat, that aids in the setup required.

Running the SecureSync Reconcile script will call three programs

• TMSS10IRM_FTP: Logs onto the Iron Mountain FTP server and download a daily inventory which will be directed from stdout to an Inventory text file for the TMSS10IRM_Reconcile processing.
• TMSS10IRM_Reconcile will read the IRM Inventory text file on the stdin and using a CustomerMap file, will output a scanfile with the inventory currently at Iron Mountain.
• TMSS10Reconcile will take the scanfile produced by TMSS10IRM_Reconcile and perform a reconciliation against the Volumes in TapeTrack.
