TapeTrack Reconciliation Report

The TapeTrack Reconciliation Report is created by the Command Line Program TMSS10Reconcile.

The program runs in 4 sequential phases:

  • Phase 1 Load of the TapeTrack Scan-Map from a Scan File.
  • Phase 2 Reconciliation of the Scan-Map.
  • Phase 3 Listing of unreferenced Scan-Map items.
  • Phase 4 Report Production.

Load of Scan-Map

The purpose of this phase is load a TapeTrack Scan-File and resolved each of the a Scan-File Entries into a Fully Qualified TapeTrack Barcode.

As the Scan-File is loaded, a Scan-Map is created.

Alternatively, rather than loading the Scan-Map from a Scan-File, the TapeTrack Import Engine can be used to load the Scan-Map. This facilitates loading from Fixed Length Reports, CSV Files and ODBC Data Sources.

The Fully Qualified TapeTrack Barcode can be resolved from an Unqualified Barcode or an Extended Attribute.

Reconcile of TapeTrack Volumes

The purpose of this phase is to list all of the Volumes that are either in, moving to, or unexpected in the specified Repository.

The following statuses may result:

  • Reconciled if the Volume is in the target repository, is in the Scan-Map and not moving.
  • Reconciled (Confirmed) if the Volume is moving into the specified Repository and is in the scan map. The Volume will be Confirmed in the TapeTrack database.
  • Absent from Scan-Map if the Volume is confirmed into the specified Repository and is not present in the Scan-Map. An Audit Flag will be placed on the Volume.
  • Pending Confirmation if the Volume is in a Move Status out from the specified repository and is not overdue at the target repository.
  • Overdue at Target if the Volume is in a Move Status to the specified Repository, is not in the Scan-Map and is now overdue at the target repository.
  • Unexpected in Scan-Map Present in Scan-Map but not present at, or moving to, the target repository.

 -- ------------------ -------------- ----------- ----------- ------- ------- ------  -----------------------

Following the example data at the top of page we have:

  • Volumes 000002L5 and 000009L6 Reconciled as they are in the scan map, and confirmed in the current repository (Offsite Vault).
  • Volumes 000003L5, 000004L6 and 000005L6 Pending confirmation as they are in the scan map, and in a move from the current repository but not yet confirmed at the target repository.
  • Volume 000008L6 Absent from Scan-Map as it appears in TapeTrack as at the current repository but is absent from the scan map. This shows the volume is either somewhere it shouldn't be or is missing and as such is given a status of NOT-OK and is given an audit flag for further investigation.
  • Volume 000010L6 Unexpected in Scan-Map as it is present in the scan map as being at the current repository but shown in TapeTrack as being confirmed at another repository. As such is given a status of NOT-OK and is given an audit flag for further investigation.

Unreferenced Scan-Map Entries

This report shows Volumes that are in the Scan-Map, but are not known to TapeTrack.

Reasons for this error could be:

  • Volume does not belong to you but has been included with your volumes by operator error.
  • Manually produced scan file with a typo on a volume ID.
  • Volume added to inventory but not entered into TapeTrack.

Phase 1 Reads in volume ID's from the scan file, parses them (depending on format) into Customer ID, Media ID and volume ID. Metrics are then displayed as the number of volumes successfully and unsuccessfully loaded ready for reconciliation in phase two.
