TS7700 reports compared to ORACLE STK reports.

There are some kinds of reports from ORACLE STK solution, that customer frequently use to monitor VSM usage and management.
They asked us to evaluate having similar reports to:
1. Identify all logical tapes in use, and detail where we have replication for each one.
2. Stack tapes details, like: Usage %, freee space %, date/time last usage, location into the library, and so on. Today they use BVIR and library GUI to get part of these informations
3. z/OS host comand to get logical tape detail, whitout pass some required parameters, like libid. Something like ‘Library Request, volser'. Today we need to identify first the related libid, and then inform libid at a command parameter. It is not easy for operation team usage.
.
Local IBM Team suggested using VEHAUDIT from tape tools, but customer do not want have a solution that is provided as is, with out any specific support.
