Thomas, And if I recall correctly, at this point, the next poster usually says:
"But you *can* still use the old ADSMv3.1 admin GUI with current server versions...". I know I do for lots of things such as tape/volume manipulation and viewing filespace listings etc, and it does the job more than adequately. To be frank, performing most of the operations that feature in server versions > 3.1, I would really only want to do from the command line anyway. All the same, I would *love* to see an updated version...

Hello, this "the old admin GUI is much better than the Web interface" subject pops up now and then. The poster of the first message always dreams of a Windows or Java GUI that supports the latest TSM server (btw I'm dreaming too). A few minutes later the list gets drowned by "me too" messages. I think there was/is a SHARE requirement for a *real* admin interface (can you filter your tape volumes with the web interface?). I don't understand why Tivoli isn't listening to their customers. Tivoli should start a survey on how many customers would like to have such an animal and on what platform. Based on this results it should be easy to provide a GUI for the platform users want. So please Tivoli, LISTEN! Ok, enough grumbling for today.
