Updating ScanVolume user attributes

asked on July 24, 2018

I am trying to find out all users that have the ScanVolume Attribute of a certain volume.  Is there a way to run a report on this?  We have migrated volumes and things are smooth except of course Human Resources.  I see the volume ID and I would like to go into each users attribute and update to the new volume ID.  Or is there a better way?  :)

thanks for all you guys do!!!

There are two methods that I know of to do this.

The first, is probably the more supported method. You can use the SDK to retrieve trustees and enumerate their attributes. I believe that you can also set attributes.

If you have IT support, and a backup, it's certainly possible to make bulk updates directly against the repository database. At the very least it's easier to make a report directly against the table. Then you can do the changes by hand in the Admin Console.

Sounds like a plan!

I do have IT support, and a nightly backup ;-)

I will see what I can do with the SDK... which I have not used yet but been trying to get to.  Only been here since Jan and always have felt in crises mode except recently.  

Thanks Devin!  Any good resources for getting the SDK up would be lovely if you have any.  :)

The install of the SDK is easy. The SDK itself is among the best I've ever used. Mostly, it's just a matter of making sure that you are comfortable with writing safe code. If possible, work against a test system before moving to production.

 

If you have specific questions regarding writing code using the SDK, feel free to post your questions.

Cool!  Comfortable with coding, and hopefully safe :) and I do have a test environment.  I'll try to get it installed and configured this week.  So that means it will probably be next...  Thanks again Devin!!
