Synchronization fields

The following Volume fields can be set by the synchronization process with the values extracted from the input source:

Field	Maximum Length	TapeTrack Field
CUSTOMER	4	Customer-ID
MEDIA	4	Media-ID
VOLUME	10	Volume-ID
REPOSITORY	4	Repository-ID
REPOSITORY_DESC	20	Description of Repository (used to set the Repository-ID)
SLOT	10	Slot for Repository.
DATACLUSTER	256	Data Cluster Value (Data Cluster must already exist)
DESCRIPTION	256	Volume Description (use program flag to set Extended Attributes)
MOVEDATE	64	Move Date (must have SetMoveDateFormat defined)
WRITETIME	64	Write Time (must have SetWriteTimeFormat defined)
CONTAINER	20	Fully qualified Container barcode
SYSTEM	10	System this Volume belongs to
ENCRYPTED	10	Is Volume encrypted (YES, NO, TRUE, FALSE)
SCRATCH	10	Is Volume scratch (YES, NO, TRUE, FALSE)

These fields can be set via:

SetLiteral: Sets a literal value, used when the field value remains constant throughout the Sync process.
Extract: Used to extract the data for the field from the input source.
Translate: Used to set the field to another value based on the extracted value.
Translate2: Used to set the field to another value based of comparing a second extracted field to a set value.

Addition Sync Fields

Addition Sync fields that can be used to extract data into for comparison when using Translation statements. These are not fields that can be set directly in TapeTrack.

An example of this would be if User1 = legal_hold then set Repository to HOLD.
