I think I got it worked out. It goes a little like this:
set MONTH=%date:~4,2%
if (%MONTH%) == (01) set ARCHFOLDER=m09
if (%MONTH%) == (02) set ARCHFOLDER=m10
... etc. for all 12 months
net use W: \\IP_address\vol0 /user:username password
W:
FOR /F %%d IN ('dir /s /b %%ARCHFOLDER%%') DO (C:\path\dsmc arch %%d\*
-optfile=C:\path\dsmarch.opt -subdir=yes -deletefiles)
C:
net use W: /delete
It's all been tested, except for the -deletefiles parameter - waiting for
the customer's OK on that one. The fact that it has to open a new TSM
session for every directory slows it down a bit (hundreds of these
directories, at an extra 3-4 seconds per new TSM session), but it gets the
job done. Had some trouble initially running the dsmc from the W: drive
(ANS0101E), but fixed it by defining the DSM_DIR system variable.

Re: [ADSM-L] Archive script for selected directory names
That might work, if there weren't also other, non-log files and
directories on that share that are older than 90 days, that we do NOT want
archived and deleted.
But it's worth keeping in mind. Thanks for the suggestion!

Instead of trying to deal with the naming convention of the directories, I
would create an archive file list by simply doing a file search for any
file/directory that is older than 90 days. I'm sure you can find a
windows version of "gnu find" that can do this.
Regards,
Shawn

[ADSM-L] Archive script for selected directory names
Hello All,
I've got a customer who uses a NAS as a repository for various log files
from many servers. These log files are organized by server, then by year
and month in the directory structure on the file space. For example, any
log file from July of 2008 will be in a directory called
...\servername\y08\m07\. New servers will have their logs added to this
share without notice, in various places on the directory tree, but the log
directory naming convention will be consistent.
This customer requires monthly archives of all log files that are older
than 90 days. Once archived, the log files will be deleted - sort of a
poor man's HSM. The -deletefiles parameter in the TSM ARCHIVE command will
work for this. Note: NDMP does not support archives, or backups of
specific selected data, so this must be done via CIFS or NFS - I've got
that covered.
Due to corporate standards, the archive job will not be scheduled with
TSM, but rather with a third-party solution (Autosys).
I'm trying to write a script (a Windows batch file) that will figure out
what month it is and archive all - and only - the directories for the log
files from 4 months ago.
The problem I'm having is that the ellipses wildcard (\...\) for directory
specification cannot be used in the ARCHIVE command itself - it can only
be used for INCLUDE and EXCLUDE statements in the option file.
I can compensate for this by having the script rewrite the option file
each month with the right includes and excludes, but then the ARCHIVE
command gets effectively run from the command line - overriding the option
file's includes and excludes, even using INCLUDE.ARCHIVE and
EXCLUDE.ARCHIVE.
I can't figure out a way to get the ARCHIVE command to do its archives on
only, and all, the directories from one specific month.
This doesn't necessarily have to be done from a Windows server, though I'm
not real speedy with my unix shell scripting.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
