Use this workflow to update media location in bulk. This workflow is useful to update the media location for media that are brought back from off-site storage.
The workflow can be setup in one of the following ways:
-
On-Demand - Run the workflow on-demand if there are multiple locations and the media has to be updated with the appropriate location.
-
Run Infinitely - Use this option if all the media is stored in a specific location. (The workflow will automatically run whenever new media is added to the input file.)
Before You Begin

Ensure that you have Commvault software version V11 with Service Pack 11 or higher on the CommServe server and MediaAgents to which the library is attached.
-
The barcodes associated with the media that needs to be updated are recorded in a .txt file. (This can be recorded automatically from the barcode scanner or manually added to the .txt file.)
-
The .txt file is saved in the CommServe computer.
