Did you happen to see my response to the original response to Shekhar
earlier today, which covers a lot of this. I agree that the "In Progress"
indicator is very vague; in the mean time, any "In Progress" status should
be treated as suspicious. Otherwise it would help to know how your
problems fit in with the context of my earlier response.

Subject: Re: TSM Scheduler shows backups completed successfully
dsmerror. log
shows backups failed ?
I might try running this for a few days to see what kind of results I get.
However, we have filespaces added and removed pretty frequently, so I'm
not
sure yet if my results would be valid. I will see what it does, though.
What I'd really like to see, of course, is the TSM server report the
actual
status of backups more accurately, rather than having to devise
workarounds. So far that functionality doesn't seem to be planned for the
product, however, at least based on my discussions with IBM/Tivoli.

We have a script that runs as part of our morning report that shows file
spaces that have not been backed up in the last 24 hrs. It has been very
successful in catching the ones that say "completed" but didn't really do
it.
select node_name,filespace_name,backup_end from -
filespaces where 1 < -
days(current_timestamp) - days(backup_end) or -
backup_end is null

This is an issue we have raised with Tivoli ourselves recently, even
requesting--and being turned down for-- a Design Change Request. Their
recommendation was to check the dsmsched.logs on the clients. This is
impossible for us and presumably for anyone in a large envorinment; we
have
over 800 clients and I know there are organizations out there with many
more. As it is, we've had to write an AIX script to catch the ones that
report as "In Progress," considering that they are rarely, if ever,
actually in progress at that time. I have no idea how to chase down the
ones reporting as "Completed" when in fact they have not, on a daily basis
across our entire environment. If anyone has any workable solutions I'd
be
very interested in hearing them; I'm at a bit of a loss myself.

Remember that the *schedule* itself completed successfully. You're far
better off looking for the message numbers that appear in the summaries
that appear in the server activity log at the end of a successsful
backup. (I'm not within reach of a TSM server tonight, so I can't look
them ATM.)
This is a much better indicator of successful backups than the event
list.
