We do a checkin with search=yes because we have an script prepared for that,
this way I do not need to check the volume label, and I can use the same
script every day.

Hi Maria:
Why do you do a checkin search=yes instead of a checkin on a specific vol?
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/28/00 05:24PM >>>
In my customer they also move DB backup tape to offsite everyday.
We expire the cartridges for db backup after 7 days.
We have created an script with a query volhistory to know the label of the
cartridge to return to the library.
This is important because once you delete a version from volhistory, there
is no reference to that cartridge anywhere in TSM data base.
Once it is in the library, is a 3494, we do a del volhistory to make the
cartridge scratch, and a checkin with search=yes
Hope this help
Regards
Maria
