NAME
     mmsexplorer - generate diagnostic report for  Media  Manage-
     ment System

SYNOPSIS
     mmsexplorer -u [reportname] [numlines]


DESCRIPTION
     The mmsexplorer command creates a diagnostic report  of  the
     activities of the Media Managment System (MS) server confi-
     guration and collects log  information.  It  constructs  the
     diagnostic  report  from  the most recent entries in the MS
     log file, MS database, and MS trace file.


     The MS is a  software  interface,  consisting  of   library
     managers  and drive managers, that manages storage resources
     such as tape  libraries,  tape  drives,  media  pools,  tape
     volumes, and the disk resources that emulate tape drives and
     tape volumes.


     By default, mmsexplorer generates a compressed  report.  Use
     the -u option to generate an uncompressed file.


     To run mmsexplorer, you must become superuser, or assume the
     Primary Administrator role.
