Technote Reports - Repositories
There are several ways to export the current status of Inventory from TapeTrack using:
- TapeMaster
- Lite
- Command Line programs
Which method suits your requirement depends on the information required in the report, as well as frequency the reports are required.
TapeMaster and Lite allows dynamic creation of Repository reports that have variable output or on demand requirements.
Repository reports that are required on a regular basis can be created using TMSS10ListRepositories that can then be saved to file, emailed and/or uploaded to the TapeTrack Server allowing clients to download (TapeMaster, Lite or TMSS10DownloadFile) without the need to create the reports themselves.

TapeMaster Repository Reports
TapeMaster allows you to export to report one Customer's Media type at a time via the Inventory window or all Customers and Media types using the Volume Global View function.
Using the Volume Global View function has an added advantage of being able to dynamically filter the data using Customer-ID, Media-ID, Volume-ID, Location, Flags, Move Dates, last User interaction and last Program Interaction before exporting results to a report.
