EnterpriseBACKUP

An online media database

The MEDIA database is accessible on-line, allowing you to find any particular medium and what files it contains at any time, without having to mount each medium or rely on a manually updated information system. The database consists of information about every tape and removable disk or other storage device in the library. Whenever a medium is modified, the on-line information is automatically updated to reflect the new contents.

There are two types of informational files about media:

The header information file contains information about each medium, tape type, length, density, format, disk size, protection, initialization and availability status.
The contents information file is an optional on-line file that lists the contents of each medium, all of the files written on the medium and information about each file (creation date, version number, size). It is necessary to include a file specification in the DIRECTORY command to access the contents information file.

Both header and contents information files can be accessed using the MEDIA command DIRECTORY.

March Tool Tip - EnterpriseSCHEDULE Date Variables

Can I incorporate dates into variables that are updated over time?

EnterpriseSCHEDULE 7.1.16 and above introduces the concept of date variables that use keywords such as “NOW”, “TODAY” and “YESTERDAY” as the base time and allow date math to build variable expressions. Variable expressions are in addition to the previous concept of String expressions (which still exist in EnterpriseSCHEDULE)

Many jobs require accurate date data as parameters to allow automation of the jobs commands.Date expressions add whole new dimension of time to variables. For instance if you want a variable to return four days after the beginning of the month, you could create a date variable with the value

"BEGINNING_OF_MONTH" + 4 days

When the variable is evaluated, the value would be calculated, using the first day of the current month and adding 4 days. Likewise if you want a variable to represent the current time plus 4 hours and 15 minutes, you could create a variable with the value

"NOW" + 4 hours + 15 minutes

These expressions can then be incorporated into your job’s commands list using EnterpriseSCHEDULE’s preprocessor syntax

((variable_name))

Examples:

(("12-jan-2007" + 1 MONTH))  February 12, 2007,0:00
(("BOM" + 12DAYS))         12 days after first of this month
(("MONDAY" + 2 WEEKS))      2 weeks from next Monday

If you have questions about how to incorporate date variable expressions into your jobs or a specific date variable expression, see section 3.2 of the EnterpiseSCHEDULE Reference Manual or the Variable Expression section of the Windows Help File.
