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.

How can I install and run Expect (and autoexpect) ?

1) Copy 3 rpm installs from the IBM Aix download site:

http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/aix/products/aixos/linux/download.html

expect
tcl
tk

2) Read the license agreements as well.

3) As root - install the rpm kits from your Aix system:
# ls
expect-5.42.1-3.aix5.1.ppc.rpm 
tk-8.4.7-3.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
tcl-8.4.7-3.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

# rpm -i tcl-8.4.7-3.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
# rpm -i tk-8.4.7-3.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
# rpm -i expect-5.42.1-3.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

4) Run a test of
a) autoexec – recording of interactive session
b) expect script – run recorded expect script
c) enter the following from a console session

autoexpect
echo hello
exit

cat script.exp

script.exp

5) The commands of the expect script “script.exp” can be copied into the makeup of a schedule job commands.
Schedule insert {jobname} script.exp

6) It is easy to edit the recorded autoexpect script “script.exp” to customize.

7) Frequently, ISE Schedule users place Schedule Job parameters and Schedule Variables into the text portion of a job generated from the autoexpect recording. This allows flexibility at job run time. See Faqs and documentation regarding Preprocessing to learn more about this.
