SL Console Reports

SL Console Reports

The SL Console reports provide information on the library and its associated devices (for example, drives, robots, and CAPs), events, and tape cartridges. You can use the library reports to monitor library activity and identify potential problems. In addition to displaying the reports on-screen, you can save the report data to a file, which you can then print or include in e-mail.

All report output is a static display of information sent from the library controller at the time the report is generated. The SL Console does not update the information dynamically unless you explicitly select the Update button on the Options bar.

Note – Running multiple instances of the standalone SL Console or Web-launched SL Console on the same PC or workstation can cause problems such as inconsistent data on reports. It is recommended that only one user at a time produce SL Console reports on a PC or workstation, unless all instances of the SL Console are the same version.

Report Types

The SL Console provides the following types of reports:

■Log—detailed system event logs

■Statistics—statistical information on library operations

■Status Detail—details on the status of the library and associated devices, such as CAPs, drives, and robots

■Status Summary—summary information on the status of the library and associated devices

■Version—details about library hardware and software versions
