667.0. "Changing Tapes GUI Interface?" by NQOS01::rdodial_port11.32.81.16.in-addr.arpa::Curle () Fri May 09 1997 10:04

NetWorker V4.3 Alpha
NT v3.51 SP 5 

Are there plans on adding commands to the NetWorker Administrator's program 
to withdraw and deposit tape(s) from an Autochanger?  If not, are there 
callable API's that we can use to write a program that will do this?

We will swap tapes every day, except Sunday, and we are looking for a error 
proof or a idiot proof way of doing this.

The customer does not want the Computer Operator's issuing commands to 
withdraw and deposit tapes but would like a GUI interface.

Thanks,
Allen

There are no API's to do this, but if you really wanted to write
a GUI to do the withdrawl and deposits of tapes you could write
something that simply execs the appropriate 'nsrjb' command to 
do it for you.  I don't know about future plans for this.  Perhaps
someone else could comment on that.
