IMPORT Function
IMPORT Function
The IMPORT function of the utility program will allow the importing of all tape
cartridges in the CAP of the tape library connected to the NonStop system. It reports
an error if the import does not occur.
Syntax:
Run .INTFACE/NAME/ IMPORT
Examples:
Run $SYSTEM.MLMM.INTFACE/NAME/ IMPORT 000001 $SYSTEM.MLMM
IMPORT is the function.
000001 is the tape number.
$SYSTEM.MLMM is the NonStop server location of the MLMM
software. It can be any valid $volume.subvolume.
Run $SYSTEM.MLMM.INTFACE/NAME/ IMPORT ALL
IMPORT ALL is the function.
(MLMM ISV location was not specified as an argument,
therefore it will use default location. Default location must
be the location of the MLMM server files. This rule is for
all commands).
EXPORT Function
The EXPORT function of the utility program allows the export of one tape cartridge to
the CAP of the tape library connected to the NonStop system. It reports an error if the
export does not occur.
Syntax:
Run <MLMM ISV>.INTFACE/NAME/ EXPORT location>
Example:
Run $SYSTEM.MLMM.INTFACE/NAME/ EXPORT 000001 $SYSTEM.MLMM
EXPORT is the function.
000001 is the tape number.
$SYSTEM.MLMM is on the NonStop server location of the MLMM
software. It can be any valid $volume.subvolume.
This function can be embedded in a TACL routine. The routine could pull tape numbers
from a spooler report or the DSM/TC database and then loop through executing the
utility function for every tape cartridge. This would fully automate your backups. When
the backup was complete, the remainder of the backup TACL routine could then export
the tape cartridges used to the tape library.
