 +==== Slotting Script Not Running ====
 +
 +If the scheduler did not run the script, contact your Network Administrator to diagnose why your scheduler is not running the slotting scripting.
 +
 +Common problems to look for:
 +
 +Task no longer enabled.
 +Task triggers no longer correct.
 +Not installed on the same server as TapeTrack framework server.
 +Insufficient privileges to run script on network.
 +Scheduler not set to run when user not logged in.

 + 
 +=== Logon failed: Authorization failure === 
 + 
 +Authorization Failure error is presented when the User password used in the script for access to TapeTrack is incorrect. This may be due to a typo in the user password in the command line script or that someone has changed the password for that User-ID in TapeTrack. 
 + 
 +{{troubleshooting:slotting_user_password.png}} 
 + 
 +As passwords cannot be viewed in TapeTrack, as a security measure, the only way to check if the user/password combination in the script is correct is to log into TapeMaster using the credentials in the batch file. In circumstances that the password is in an external file and cannot be viewed, you will need to contact your administrator to verify the password is correct. 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +=== Logon failed: Logon failed as access has been revoked === 
 + 
 +User-ID's that have been used to login unsuccessfully five times in a row will, for security reasons, have their access to TapeTrack revoked. This will remove the slotting script's access and subsequently stop its ability to slot the volumes. 
 +To reset the User-ID's access, reset the password associated with the user account. 
 + 
 +Make sure the password assigned to the User-ID matches the password used by the slotting script. To obtain the current password used by the slotting script, open Slotting.bat (in TapeTrack install directory TapeTrack\TapeTrack Framework Server\scripts) by right-clicking on the file and selecting Edit to open in a text editor (such as Notepad or Vi). 
 + 
 +{{troubleshooting:slotting_bat.png}} 
 + 
 +Obtain User-ID and password from the script command line attribute:  
 +set TTSERVER=user:-password@localhost → User-ID and password as displayed in file.  
 +set TTSERVER=user:passwordFile@localhost → User-ID as displayed in file, password in file at that location. 
 + 
 +<note tip>If resetting the User-ID password restores access to TapeTrack temporarily before access is revoked again you probably have another instance of the script, or another script using the same User-ID, trying to log on to TapeTrack with an incorrect or outdated password. This can be fixed by rectifying the incorrect scripting or, if it can't be located, a temporary solution is to shift the slotting script to use another ID to ensure it maintains access.</note> 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +=== Customer List successful: Customers(0) Excluded( ) === 
 + 
 +An error of **Customer List Successful: Customers(0)….** is caused when the logon is successful but the login ID has no access rights to Customer-ID's. 
 + 
 +This may be caused by someone editing the access rights to the Slotting User-ID or the group that the Slotting User-ID is assigned to. 
 + 
 +Check the User-ID access rights via TapeMaster by either logging in to using the Slotting ID credentials or using a tapemaster enabled User-ID to access the Slotting-ID in the Group/User Administration panel. 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +=== Resolution of hostname failed: No such host is known === 
 + 
 +Incorrect host DNS. Check the spelling of host name or IP address is correct. Ping the server address using TMSS10Ping to see if there is access from your computer running the script. 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +=== Slot Allocation Error: Slot Exceeds Maximum Allocated === 
 + 
 +There are more Volumes queued for slotting than there are slots available. Remove sufficient Volumes from slots or increase slots available to the repository to accommodate queued volumes and run [[cli:tmss10slotallocation|TMSS10SlotAllocation]]. 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +=== Different error or Unable to identify error === 
 + 
 +Contact GazillaByte for Additional Support.  \\ \\ [[common:support_details|Contact GazillaByte for software support]].  Include the file slotting_error.txt and slotting_report.txt, as well as any further information that you think,  may help to diagnose the problem (such as when the problem started, limited to a customer or global, any changes in environment etc) in your correspondence.
