2. When the tape is full, print a hardcopy tape log and store it in a notebook or file near
where the tapes are stored. (You should also set the write protect.)
This makes it easier to determine what product files are on a tape when data are
retrieved.
8.6.2 Printing a Tape or Disk Log
1. From the operating system prompt, change directories to the location of the logs:
$ cd $IRIS_INV_TAPE
2. To see a list of the available tape logs in this directory, type:
$ ls
A separate file is listed for each archive log, identified by the archive ID corresponding
to the label on the tape or disk.
3. Turn on the default printer for your system and type (for example):
$ lp SIG_88_03_08_S9C.LIS
The archive ID SIG_88_03_08_S9C is an example.
8.7
Retrieving Product Files from an
Archive
You can use the
Archive menu to retrieve product files from tape and put them back on disk
where they are available for display or, in the case of the RAW product, for subsequent
product generation.
The Retrieve command takes product files from archive and stores them on the system disk.
Retrieve requires that you first tag all files to be retrieved. Files can be tagged even while
Retrieve or other operations are in progress.
1. Because Retrieve relies heavily on the log, perform an inventory for IRIS tapes with
incomplete logs.
See Creating and Printing a Log (page 279).
Retrieve
works if an inventory is not done, but only those files that are listed in the
tape log can be retrieved.
