Python API: samAdmin v8_1_5
samAdmin.nullVolumeSynch()

Just having some fun...
This is the python interface to the command 'samadmin null volume synch'.
Command Description:

Updates the DB with retroactive information about files that are currently
listed as being on tape but with a null volume_id; updates the db with
fileSize, CRC, and volume information from Enstore when known.

Since there are old files on null volumes where the volume
information will never be known (especially in development), the
"--since=dd-mon-yyyy" option may be used to filter out the obsolete
stuff for faster performance.  A suitable date might be 1-jan-2005.


Python Usage:
	from SamAdmin import samAdmin
	result = samAdmin.nullVolumeSynch(...)

Return value: 

Arguments are passed as keyword-value pairs, as in:
	 myfunc(arg1='myarg', arg2='anotherarg', d=1)

Argument Keyword Description:
	(*) indicates that this keyword is required
	>>> indicates that either the API object or the CLI equivalent (<<<) is required
