Ronny,


I dont recall anyone mentioning this but if your using a library as opposed 
to a jukebox you should have "Polled Import/Export Slots" enabled. Since 
opening/closing the Library doors causes the Library to perform either a 
soft or hard scan Networker will query the Library for changes 
(imports/exports)and wont have to do another scan to see if cartriges were 
removed/added. Using CAP is nice if you have enough mailslots to cover the 
amount of tapes that were written to and that need to be exported. However 
if Polled Import/Export is enabled this is unecessary.

In my experience when adding a Library to Netwotker this feature isn't 
enabled even though every Library I've used supports it. I have to manually 
check the boxes on the configuration of the Library in Networker.
