What I do, is create an administrative schedule, that'll check in whether the correct tapes were checked in: 1. Generate list of VAULTRETRIEVE tapes. Give list to courier to let him bring the tapes back on-site. Set tapes to COURIERRETRIEVE. Courier will normally return the next day with the tapes. 2. Next day, early in the morning, generate a list of COURIERRETRIEVE tapes. Create admin schedule that at the end of the day checks in all tapes in the slot as scratch. Create another admin schedule that invokes a Perl-script with the names of all COURIERRETRIEVE tapes as parameter. That Perl-script checks whether all tapes that were given as its parameter are checked in as scratch. If not, it sends a mail to the TSM administrator. -- Jurjen Oskam PGP Key available at http://www.stupendous.org/
