This manual is intended for system administrators.
It describes the functional scope and mode of operation of the software product ROBAR that controls automatic sequences in the MTC archive system.
To fully understand this manual you will need to be familiar with the BS2000 and Linux operating systems.
For BS2000 we recommend that you read the manuals dealing with the BS2000 basic configuration, in particular the manuals “System Installation” [4] and the “Introduction to System Administration” [2]. You should also familiarize yourself with the BS2000 command language SDF, since the user interface, screen layout and prompting of ROBAR-CL in BS2000 all use SDF. SDF is described in the manual “SDF Dialog Interface” [9].
For Linux, you will need to know how to use the operating system. For an introduction we recommend that you read the Linux manuals, especially the “Administration Guide” [16].
For installation you require system administration skills. The manuals recommended for this purpose depend on the server used (see the relevant operating manuals) and on the operating system used (BS2000 or Linux). The "Operation and Administration" manual [14] is recommended specifically for SE servers.
For communication you require a knowledge of the software product CMX. This is provided by the manual “CMX Communication Manager” [12, 13].
You will find a detailed description of ETERNUS CS in the ETERNUS CS manual [11] (the exact title depends on the version).
For information on the Scalar archive systems you are referred to the documentation of the manufacturer ([15]).
You will find detailed information on required versions of software products and of supported devices in the release notice of ROBAR.
