Also, If you have other people loggin into the machine tsm will drop a dsmerror.log file in the current directory the user is in when they execute dsm/dsmc and there is an error condition.
Likely the dsmerror.log files which are appearing in odd places are caused by users executing tsm. Look at the contents of the dsmerror.log file and see if the timestamp is during the backup cycle. I'll bet it's during the day. Regards, Denis L.

Folks, While I S.A. about 16 TSM servers I am not a TSM administrator and know little about TSM other than how to install and config the client and how to kick off the scheduler. However, I am responsible for the scheduled backup of these TSM servers to other servers and therein lies my dilema. I am finding my dsmerror.log files all over the place which makes scripting to have them emailed to me every Monday morning a pain. It was my understanding that you set up the location for your dsmsched and dsmerror.logs in your dsm.sys file along with their retention periods. Is there somewhere else that those locations can be set? On those servers where I'm finding these log files put in odd locations I find no entry in the dsm.sys file that would put them where they're being found.
