Operator Requests

Sometimes, even with robotic libraries, manual assistance is needed to complete a request or perform maintenance or support. If an application requests that a cartridge in the offline media physical location be mounted, the cartridge must be manually entered into an online library, generating a request to the operator to enter the cartridge.

Operator requests can be presented to an administrator through the Windows 2000 Messenger Service or the status area of the taskbar. An administrator can refuse or complete these requests.

Note  "Operator" as used here, is synonymous with "administrator."
