The thread was initially for web admin but my vote definitely goes to CLI
(I had not the chance to work with ADSM 3.1 so am not familiar with GUI).
I am another person using *only* CLI. Being at customer site when someone
opens web interface for TSM administration I use again only its CLI
functionality. Even do not know what is where in web interface.
My day-to-day operation uses just two CLI sessions - one in consolemode
and second for entering commands. Command line editor helps enough and I
am not afraid to type single command with 2-3 lines of parameters. Only
one problem till now - telnet clients do not handle "Insert" key correctly
so I have to retype rest of the line when something is inserted (AIX
dsmadmc through telnet). CLI using X Windows or local admin client do not
have this problem.
And I would be happy if someone may point me to a method for automating
TSM operations using WebAdmin (without CLI). So if you want to automate
your repetitive tasks you for sure will need CLI knowledge. Why then to
waste efforts learning web admin.
As on Andy's signature - "Command line is your friend".
My opinion does not bind anybody except me.

Subject: Re: Web Admin Interface - grrr
Web admin,
what is that. I (and so do my coworkers) only use the command line
interface. The web interface just isn't good enough. I feel the same way
about the "good old gui". I had some bothers with listing the volumes with
the gui's. It would take to long, while the cli returns the query in an
instance.
One other thing is that the web interface tends to time-out while were are
doing some processing. I would like to see the web-timeout-feature out to
only count the idle time in stead of total time.
Anyway, CLI works best for me.

Onderwerp: Web Admin Interface - grrr
Hi TSM-ers,
Our Network Storage Manager (NSM - 3466) was just upgraded from 4.2.1 to
4.2.2.8.
Now the format of the QUERY SESSION from the lefthand tree OBJECT VIEW /
SERVER /
SESSION has changed from FORMAT=STANDARD to FORMAT=DETAILED.
Instead of one line per session I get now 12 lines. That makes it
impossible
to see what's
going on (?$%&?)
How can we convince Tivoli to create a useful administration interface (be
it GUI or a Java Applet).
Am I the only one who has problems with the admin interface and still
running the old
3.1 Windows GUI?
Kind regards
