Ron,
the short answer to your question is "TSM server has scripting abilities".
The long one might be like an essay or closer to a novel (depending on the
answering person).
I prefer to write scripts even for simple things like "select
current_date,current_time from db" (my favorite datetime script). Later
"run <script name>" does the job.
In your case you can define a script:
def scr vol_unav 'q v acc=unav' desc='List unavailable volumes'
and later operators can run it:
run vol_unav
If you want output to be feed back as commands things get more tricky. You
will have to write something like:
select 'upd v ' concat volume_name concat ' acc=readw' as -
"------------------------------------------------------------" -
from volumes where access='READWRITE' >vols.mac
And then stripe out the headers and use it as a macro.

Subject: How to write script to automate TSM 5.11
I am attempting to find out how to write scripts for TSM 5.11 in an Win 2k
environment to automate the various commands during a backup. Currently,
I
am using the command line to access the TSM server thru my workstation.
What I want to do is write a script for instance, "q vol *
access=unavailable" which an operator could type one command and get
results of which vols need to be updated. Then that output file would be
the input for the "upd vol [volname] access=readwrite".
If anyone has written that or knows where I can go to find out that info,
I
would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Ron Lochhead
