Usage in the workstation tool
Specify the file as comma delimited, declared containing field names in 1
st
line if
extracted with the FIELD_NAMES YES parameter.
In MS-Access, in addition to checking “First Row Contains Field Names”, change two
values in the default Import specifications window opened by clicking the
“Advanced…” button:
“Date order” must be set to YMD
“Date Delimiter” must be set to “-“
There is a statistic line per volume operation, detail depends on the Operation_cat
and Operation fields.
• A regular tape usage, for example a BACKUP process writing a
volume, is reported by a line with Operation_cat = EMUL and
Operation = LOAD. Distinction between backup and restore is given
by Read_write field.
EXPORT and IMPORT Operations are related to the VTC attached physical tape
drives.
• A line with Operation_cat SCRIPT reports the execution of a
Windows script, the Operation field reports the type of script
BACKUP, RESTORE, DELETE.
If the Script Controller is enabled in scripts, there will be additional SCRIPT records,
one record with Operation = BACK-BATCH or REST-BATCH per execution of a sub-
script. Notes applicable in case of Script controller:
o The operation described by a BACKUP operation has no
duration, as this execution is only a request for batch
processing.
o The operation described by a RESTORE operation contains:
the waiting of an available batch queue, and the execution of
the whole restore batch sub-script.
o The throughput of actual backup or restore of the Windows
files can be computed from records with Operation = BACK-
BATCH or REST-BATCH.
