Technote: Removing Volume History

If you have been trialing TapeTrack, have all your Customers, Media Types and Inventory loaded, but would like to start production with all Volumes having a clear history without having to reload the data removing Volume Historical records is the best way to accomplish this.

Windows Instructions

To make any alterations to the TapeTrack Database, stop the Server.

Make a backup of the var directory and contents before making any alterations.

Navigate to the TapeTrack Database installation directory (default location = C:\Program Files\TapeTrack\TapeTrack Framework Server\var\db ).

Delete files TMSS10.history and TMSS10.history-archive.

This will remove all Volume Historical records, including when the Volume was added.
Volume Birthdate (Listed under Volume Options) will now reflect the time and date the Server was restarted when the history files were rebuilt.

Restart the Server.

Open TapeMaster to check the Volume History records have been removed.
