This was discussed about 2 months ago: see the ADSM-L archives for background. >From my notes at http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts : Web access to TSM It is very important to understand that with any web-based access to the TSM server, THERE IS NO SESSION!! Web applications, by definition, are "stateless": they contact the web server only when they seek service, and do not conduct a continuous session. (That is a huge weakness in web applications, particularly in web mail apps using IMAP, where IMAP is intended to be a session service, and so reinvoking it every time you need something results in greatly increased overhead.) If you do a Query SEssion in the server, you will not see web-based sessions unless you happen to instantaneously catch one of the contacts occurring. Past postings have also noted CPU utilization high on server, seen with the web client accessing the server, using Microsoft Internet Explorer. Going to a higher level of IE resolved the problem.
