Technote: Creating Reports
TapeTrack can produce reports two ways, through Desktop and Command Line programs.
Desktop Programs
Reports can be created through the Desktop programs by selecting and filtering data and then exporting to a report.
This allows a quick and efficient creation of reports on demand.
Reports based over multiple Customer-ID's or Media-ID's can be produced through the Volume Global View function, of which results can be filtered down to required data and then exported to file.
When reporting on individual Media-ID's, the reports from the inventory window provide far more extensive options including:
-
- Expiry Date: Volumes expiry date.
- Last Audit Failure Time: Volumes last audit failure.
- Last Move Time: Volumes last move date and time.
- Last Write Time: Volumes last write date and time.
- Last Update Time: Volumes last update day and time.
- Generation Dispursement Table: Volumes based on volume generation (e.g. LTO 4, LTO 5 etc) as well as scratch status.
- Health Table
- History Rewind: Volume location based on a date or range of dates.
Command Line Programs
Reports that are required on a regular basis can be created using various command line programs that can then be saved to file, emailed and/or uploaded to the TapeTrack Server allowing clients to download without the need to create the reports themselves.
Report Output Options
Both the Desktop and Command Line Programs can produce reports in the following formats:
- Text
- HTML
- PDF
- CSV
