Yes, I have ODBC set up and do use that from time to time. It works fine for me when I need it. But, it isn't fast, and it's just too overwhelming for people when you try to teach this stuff. (Especially to someone who isn't comfortable with EXCEL.)

That's why I use Excel and an ODBC link to the database. It's read only, but I have full filtering, searching, sorting, etc. of Excel to work with what comes back from the queries. I have a spreadsheet called GUI_ODBC and it includes the embedded Microsoft Query queries. I just select the page of info I'm interested in (like "volumes") and click the Refresh icon. In about three seconds I have a new list of volumes with all fields displayed. If I have to do something with a particular volume, I usually resort to the command line.

The bigger your TSM gets (We are at 550 clients on the largest server), the more impossible it becomes to use the web admin because of the lack of filtering and sorting capability. ************************************************************************ Wanda Prather The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab 443-778-8769 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Intelligence has much less practical application than you'd think" - Scott Adams/Dilbert ************************************************************************ -----Original Message----- From: Rupp Thomas (Illwerke) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 12:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 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?
