TapeMaster Configuration File

To modify TapeMaster, open TMSSMaster.cfg in a plain text editor such as Notepad. TMSSMaster.cfg can be found in the TapeTrack/TapeMaster install directory (default C:\Program Files\TapeTrack\TapeTrack TapeMaster).

The config file has comments throughout the code to either disable the execution of unused code blocks or add explanation to the available functions.

Block quotes look like /* */, anything between these characters are treated as comments and not code.

Anything after the characters // are treated as comments and not code for that line.

Remove Slot Level Display

Locate the section variables

Remove comment tags /* & */ from above and below variables.

Change the line of code
TMSSLEVELNAMES = “A,B,C”;
to
TMSSNOLEVELSLOT = “true”;

and save file.

Make sure that you have sufficient rights to save file to directory and to save as TMSS10Master.cfg and not as a text file or other file extension.

To check the modification was successful:

Login to TapeMaster and open slotted media to check display of volume location is now restricted to Zone and shelf as illustrated by the images below.

Before modification - TapeMaster displaying Zone, shelf and slot.

After modification - TapeMaster displaying Zone and shelf only.

If when opening TapeTrack TapeMaster you receive an error - Failed to read configuration file (TMSSMaster.cfg): Line( ) - Syntax error check the configuration file that you have used plain ASCII quotes (“ ”) and not rich text quotes (“ ”) and that the replaced text is correct.
