XML offsite vendor interface
Media Operations supports electronic links to offsite vendors. This allows Media
Operations to send electronic verification of media shipped to offsite storage and
request media from offsite storage back to the data center.
Media Operations administrators can manually add their own offsite storage vendors
and accounts, and then select these custom offsite locations as part of the media
vaulting policies.
There are three offsite vendor types (Media Operations, Iron Mountain interface,
and Generic offsite vendor) that support electronic links. For a description of offsite
vendors, see “Site management” on page 41.
Usage
This section defines the scripting interface used with Generic vendor types.
There are three basic types of electronic links to offsite vendors:
• Media transit request
• Request and receive audits
• Status checking
Generic input parameters for all request types
For all request types, Media Operations passes the following parameters into the
script that you create.
• Parameter 1: Request type
1 - Transit request

2 - Status request
