Abstract
Method, system, and computer program product embodiments for recording data on a contactless integrated circuit (IC) memory associated with a data storage cartridge are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, an index of a plurality of files to be recorded on a storage media of the data storage cartridge is parsed with a table of contents (TOC) profile file to build a table of contents (TOC) specific to an owning application of the plurality of files. The TOC is written to the contactless IC memory.
Claims20
A method for recording data on a contactless integrated circuit (IC) memory associated with a data storage cartridge, comprising:
- parsing an index of a plurality of files to be recorded on a storage media of the data storage cartridge with a table of contents (TOC) profile file to build a table of contents (TOC) specific to an owning application of the plurality of files;
- and
- writing the TOC to the contactless IC memory.
A system for recording data file information describing contents of storage media of a data storage cartridge in an automated storage and retrieval library, comprising:
- a processor device operational in the automated storage and retrieval library, the processing device adapted for building a table of contents (TOC) specific to an owning application of a plurality of files to be recorded on the storage media by parsing an index of the plurality of files with a table of contents (TOC) profile file;
- and
- a contactless integrated circuit (IC) memory in communication with the processor device and embedded in the data storage cartridge, the contactless IC memory adapted for storing the table of contents (TOC).
A computer program product for recording data on a contactless integrated circuit (IC) memory associated with a data storage cartridge, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
- a first executable portion for parsing an index of a plurality of files to be recorded on a storage media of the data storage cartridge with a table of contents (TOC) profile file to build a table of contents (TOC) specific to an owning application of the plurality of files;
- and
- a second executable portion for writing the TOC to the contactless IC memory.
