======  Volumes Added Within A Defined Date Range, Currently Located In A Selected Repository  ======

Listing all [[object:volume|Volumes]] added to TapeTrack within a defined range of dates and currently located within a selected [[object:repository|Repository]] is a two-step process.  

You must first extract an inventory listing of all [[object:volume|Volumes]] added between the specified range of dates.  Then use that file to compare against a listing of all [[object:volume|Volumes]] located in the selected [[object:repository|Repository]] and extract all [[object:volume|Volumes]] that appear in both Inventories and export to file.

The comparison of the [[object:volume|Volumes]] within the files also requires the use of a Configuration file and a Definition file to extract the data in the correct format.

===== Extracting Volumes Added Within A Defined Date Range =====

Using the command line program [[cli:TMSS10ListHistory]], along with the Attributes:
  * ''-S user:-password@server'': Logon access 
  * ''-R "YYYY-MM-DD:YYYY-MM-DD"'': Specify the date range required.
  * ''-t "*Added*"'': Extract only [[object:volume|Volume]] Added records
  * ''-V "CUST.MEDIA.*"'': Limit [[object:customer|Customer]] and [[object:media|Media Types]] extracted if required

Output from this process is captured and written to file using stdout.

To extract all [[object:volume|Volumes]] added between the start of the year 2000 and the end of 2010 and write to file ''historyOut.txt''

<code plain;>
TMSS10ListHistory -S user:-password@server -R "2000-01-01:2010-12-31" -t "*Added*" -V "*.*.*" > historyOut.txt
</code>


===== Configuration File =====

The configuration file is used for traversal of the history ([[object:volume|Volumes]] added) file for comparison of [[object:volume|Volumes]]  currently in the selected [[object:repository|Repository]].

The following example instructs TapeTrack to compare each [[object:volume|Volume-ID]] to the Scanfile, if it is present include it in the output file, otherwise skip it and move to the next [[object:volume|Volume]].

<code plain;>
traversal 
{
   scanfile= { file="scanfile.ttidef"; };
   customer =
   (
      {
         id="*";
         media =
         (
            {
               id="*";

               volume =
               (
                   {
                      id="*";
                      scanfile = true;
                      skip=false;
                   },
                   {
                      id="*";
                      skip=true;
                   }
               );
            }
         );
      }
   );
};
</code>

===== Definition File =====

The [[concepts:definition_file|Definition File]] (default.ttidef) is used to instruct TapeTrack how the data is formatted in the extracted file.

<code plain;>
# input file for Volume comparison (TMSS10ListHistory output)
SetFile("historyOut.txt");

# extract Volume-ID
Extract(BARCODE, 1, 15, 0);

# skip header (9 lines)
SetHeaderCount(9); 

# exclude any line starting with -
AddString(Exclusion, 0, " -*");
</code>

===== Inventory Of Volumes Added Within A Defined Date Range Located In A Specified Repository =====

Using the list of [[object:volume|Volumes]] added between the defined date range, we now compare that list to the [[object:volume|Volumes]] located at the specified [[object:repository|Repository]] and output the [[object:volume|Volumes]] to file (inventory_out.txt).

<code plain;>
TMSS10Inventory -S tapemaster:-@localhost -V "*.*.*@OFFS" -c "inventory.cfg" > inventory_out.txt 2> inventory_err.txt
</code>

or if you prefer CSV output with [[concepts:qualified_barcode|Unqualified]] [[object:volume|Volume-ID's]], set the [[variable:start|Environmental Variables]] [[variable:tmssreportformat|TMSSREPORTFORMAT]] and [[variable:tmssunqualifiedvolume|TMSSUNQUALIFIEDVOLUME]].

<code plain;>
set TMSSUNQUALIFIEDVOLUME=true
set TMSSREPORTFORMAT=CSV 

TMSS10Inventory -S tapemaster:-@localhost -V "*.*.*@OFFS" -c "inventory.cfg" > inventory_out.csv 2> inventory_err.txt
</code>
