Import

For both device families a device specific task needs to be scheduled to retrieve information on

which cartridges will be added to the import queue list.

Note: Scheduler examples are shown in the Addendum of this document.

VLSHandler

For the VLS device an e-mail with an attachment will be checked which has been sent from the

VLS device to an e-mail server.

Note: The e-mail contains the information in the following format:

From: administrator@<VLS_hostname>

Subject: Replication Data for ISV Import

Status : <Replication_status>

Report Name : Replication Data for ISV Import

Report Generation Time : <Timestamp>

Report Frequency : <Scheduling_frequency>

Attachment:

ISV~<virtual cartridge barcode>~<virtual library>~<virtual library slot number>

Example:

************************************

From: administrator@devicename.test.com

Subject: Replication Data for ISV Import

Status : Successful

Report Name : Replication Data for ISV Import

Report Generation Time : Wed Mar 18 16:00:00 MDT 2009

Report Frequency : Hourly

Example Attachment:

*************************************

The attachment information is used to gather new import jobs. The setting received as the

<virtual library> must be configured in the configuration file.

To import the tasks from the VLS e-mail to the import queue list you have to call:

perl vlsHandler.pl –cfg <configuration file>

Prerequisites:

• Notification e-mail arrives at the e-mail server.

• VLS target libraries (serial number) are configured in the configuration file.

The VLSHandler is called by a scheduler or manually. The perl script

vlsHandler.pl calls

another perl script named

VLSHandler.pm to download the notification e-mail attachments and

then the parsed e-mails are deleted on the e-mail server.

The VLSHandler transforms the e-mail attachment job details into the queue format and adds the

tasks to the queue.

Another possibility is to call the VLSHandler is with the parameter

-notificationfile:

perl vlsHandler.pl –cfg <configuration file> pl –notificationfile

In this case only the notificationfile is used that contains the VLS tasks – no e-mails.

Example:

The file

ISVImportShort.csv might contain following tasks:
