“SQMSMAPI01: bulk-load”
A description of the bulk-load API command
bulk-load
| Applies to: | MAIL File |
| Description: | Performs a multi-stage initialization of the optical library. The bulk-load command will first probe the optical library to determine the occupied/vacant status of each shelf, then each new import will be identified, reading the volume label and disc information. |
| Time to Complete: | The bulk-load operation may take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours to complete, depending on the number of discs to be identified. |
| Restrictions: | The MAIL slot and shelves of the library will become busy while the bulk-load operation is ongoing. |
| When to use: | The bulk-load command should be used when there are multiple ‘NewImport’ pieces of media, such as after the archive has been initialized or media has been manually added to the library. |
| Feedback: | Both the mail slot and the media files will become busy (#) during the bulk-load process. Bulk-load is complete when no items are marked as busy. |
