Output from omnirpt, while tab delimitered, can produce offset columns depending on string lengths. To ensure the column offsets are consistent the output is passed through TMSS10CSV2Fixed.

Run TMSS10CSV2Fixed directing the file dataprotector.csv through stdin to get a starting point for columns and offset values, adjust the offsets to match the data you wish to import, omitting data from irrelevant columns with the offset 0 0.

Synchronization with TapeTrack is performed by calling the TMSS10Sync command line program, along with:

1. The fixed width text file produced by pre-processing the onmirpt output.
2. Command line arguments that instruct the program how to process volumes.
3. A synchronization definition file that instructs the program how to interpret the omnirpt output.

<sxh plain;> TMSS10Sync -d dp.ttidef -a -S batch:-password@server < dataprotectorFixed.txt </sxh>

Where:

• -d is the path to the Synchronization Definition File.
• -a tells the program to add new tape volumes if they are encountered.
• -S tells the program what Server to connect to.
• dataprotectorFixed.txt is the omnirpt output that has been pre-processed through the TMSS10CSV2Fixed program
