Hello all, has anybody managed to access the *SM database via a native DB client fomr AIX. I know, there's a ODBC client for Win32, but is there an equivalent for AIX. Or maybe a technical reference/documentation to write my own DBD handler in PERL. Currently, I am writing a *SM SQL interface for PERL using dsmadmc, but I think, gathering information from a DB into a report, and parsing the report to get the field content is not the best way to do it. Any hint to help me to go in the right direction is very much appreciated. Kind regards, -- Joerg Nouvertne ... who still runs ADSM 3.1, but who will take the new adventure TSM 4.1 soon.
