Add or Remove Flags based off last read time of Volumes using TMSS10ModifyFlags and a config file.

The process involves TMSS10ModifyFlags loading an input file, using a definition file, to extract the Volume-ID's. The Volume-ID's are then filtered using the configuration file and adding any qualifying Volumes to a scan file.

The scan file is then processed, adding or removing the defined Flags against the scan list Volumes.

Input file - Volumes.csv

Batch file - run_remove_lock_flag.bat

Run TMSS10ModifyFlags to remove lock flag from all 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.
