Hi Brian, hi all *SM'ers First of all, thanks a lot for anybody that helped me during last months, solving problems that sometimes went awful. I'm temporarily leaving the list for holidays, and wanted to wish everybody a merry Xmas, and happy new year ! See you later, cheers !

Arnaud, Here's what I found in the TSM 4.2 Reference Guide: CONVERT ARCHIVE (Allow Clients to Query Archive Files by Description ) Use this command to improve the efficiency of a command line or API client query of archive files and directories using the description option. Previously, an API client could not perform an efficient query at all and a Version 3.1 or later command line client could perform such a query only if the node had signed onto the server from a GUI at least once. Perform this conversion only once for each node. A GUI backup-archive client can already do a more efficient query without this command being issued. Privilege Class To issue this command, you must have system privilege, unrestricted policy privilege, or policy privilege for the policy domain to which the client belongs. Syntax CONVert Archive node_name Wait =No Yes Parameters node_name (Required) Specifies the name of the node to be converted. This name must not contain any wildcard characters. Wait Specifies whether to wait for the server to complete processing this command in the foreground. This parameter is optional. The default is NO. Possible values are: No Specifies that the server processes this command in the background. Yes Specifies that the server processes this command in the foreground Note: You cannot specify WAIT=YES from the server console. Examples Perform a background conversion of the client node JAN: Command: convert archive jan wait=no Related Commands None Hope this helps.

Hi Karel, Server version is 4.1.3.0, and web client version is 4.2.0 -----Original Message----- From: Karel Bos [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 19 December, 2001 14:42 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: convert archive process ... what does it do ? Think that is a TSM server - client level related action. What is the clients level and on what level is the tsm server? -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: PAC Brion Arnaud [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Verzonden: woensdag 19 december 2001 13:47 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: convert archive process ... what does it do ? Hi TSM'ers, A probably dumb question, but I never saw this before : today we had a user that did an archive of his node using the web client, and shortly following this operation, I saw the folowing entry in activity log : 12/19/01 07:52:39 ANR0984I Process 394 for CONVERT ARCHIVE started in the BACKGROUND at 07:52:39. 12/19/01 07:52:39 ANR0985I Process 394 for CONVERT ARCHIVE running in the BACKGROUND completed with completion state SUCCESS at 07:52:39. Could anybody explain me what this process does, as I didn't found any explanation either in TSM admin guide or in TSM help. TIA. Arnaud
