| Add or Remove Flags based off last read time of [[object:volume|Volumes]] using TMSS10ModifyFlags and a config file. | Add or Remove [[common:volume_flags|Flags]] based off last read time of [[object:volume|Volumes]] using [[cli:tmss10modifyflags|TMSS10ModifyFlags]] and a config file. |

| The purpose of this method allows you to lock any [[object:volume|Volumes]] in your Library that have been recalled for data restoration and then automatically remove the move lock once the last read time passes a set number of days. The Sync can then place the [[object:volume|Volumes]] in a move back to the offsite vault until the data expires. | One purpose of this method allows you to lock any [[object:volume|Volumes]] in your Library that have been recalled for data restoration and then automatically remove the move lock once the last read time passes a set number of days.

| The process involves TMSS10ModifyFlags loading an input file, using a definition file, to extract the [[object:volume|Volume-ID's]]s. The [[object:volume|Volume-ID's]] are then filtered using the configuration file and adding any qualifying [[object:volume|Volumes]] to a scan file. | The process involves [[cli:tmss10modifyflags|TMSS10ModifyFlags]] loading an input file, using a definition file, to extract the [[object:volume|Volume-ID's]].

| Configuration file sets definition file for translating and extracting [[object:volume|Volume-ID's]] and filters input by Customer-ID (0002), Media-ID (LTO). The last read time is then compared to the lastreadtime filter, if the last read time is 30 or more days ago, the [[object:volume|Volume]] is added to the scan file, if not it is discarded. | Configuration file sets definition file for translating and extracting [[object:volume|Volume-ID's]] and filters input by [[object:customer|Customer-ID]] (0002), [[object:media|Media-ID]] (LTO).

| Run TMSS10ModifyFlags to remove lock flag from all [[object:volume|Volumes]] in the input file with a last read date of 30 or more days ago. Using the Volume filter (-V) to only read in Customer-ID 0002 to save processing time by avoiding reading in all other Customer-ID's. Output from the process being written to modify_flags_stdout.txt and modify_flags_stderr.txt. The output files can written to any directory by using full directory paths. | Run [[cli:tmss10modifyflags|TMSS10ModifyFlags]] to remove lock flag from all [[object:volume|Volumes]] in the input file with a last read date of 30 or more days ago.
