SL Console Reports 

The SL Console reports provide information on the library and its associated devices 

(for example, drives, robots, and CAPs), events, and tape cartridges. You can use the 

library reports to monitor library activity and identify potential problems. In addition 

to displaying the reports on-screen, you can save the report data to a file, which you 

can then print or include in e-mail. 

All report output is a static display of information sent from the library controller at the 

time the report is generated. The SL Console does not update the information 

dynamically unless you explicitly select the Update button on the Options bar.

Running multiple instances of the standalone SL Console or Web-launched 

SL Console on the same PC or workstation can cause problems such as inconsistent 

data on reports. It is recommended that only one user at a time produce SL Console 

reports on a PC or workstation, unless all instances of the SL Console are the same 

version.
