DX 4 - Determine cartridge in jukebox via script (registry?)

Question

I need a way to determine programmatically which optical cartridges are in the jukebox. I'm wondering if a key in the registry tells which media is physically in the jukebox - not just 'online'.

Check out /hklm/sw/emc/xms/media pool/00000000/media/000000001There's a few keys there that may help. Maybe Library Shelf or Location?

This is version 4.x (pre-EMC). The closest I have found is HKLM/software/otg/Diskxtender server/media/nnnnnnnn. This is where it defines each media name, serial, media folder, etc. There is a key called STATUS which I thought might indicate Online or Present in Juke. I just can't find any documentation about it.

Add/Delete Media knows what is in the Juke so it must be recorded somewhere. Maybe it's in the MFT (Tag on the Extended Drive).

No, I'm thinking it should be in the registry. If I recall correctly media management was performed in the DX admin in version 4.2. The key should be somewhere under /hklm/sw/otgGood luck
