Using Excel and TSM ODBC I selected the criteria, and here's the sql statement it produces. I had to add devclass criteria as we have some old tapes around.
SELECT VOLUMES.VOLUME_NAME, VOLUMES.STATUS, VOLUMES.PENDING_DATE, VOLUMES.DEVCLASS_NAME FROM VOLUMES VOLUMES WHERE (VOLUMES.DEVCLASS_NAME='3592TAPE') AND (VOLUMES.PENDING_DATE Is Not Null) ORDER BY VOLUMES.PENDING_DATE Results VOLUME_NAME STATUS PENDING_DATE DEVCLASS_NAME U00936 PENDING 8/23/2004 19:21 3592TAPE U00051 PENDING 8/23/2004 19:24 3592TAPE U00203 PENDING 8/23/2004 19:25 3592TAPE U00087 PENDING 8/23/2004 19:27 3592TAPE U00821 PENDING 8/23/2004 19:30 3592TAPE U00031 PENDING 8/23/2004 19:51 3592TAPE U00421 PENDING 8/23/2004 19:51 3592TAPE U00720 PENDING 8/23/2004 19:52 3592TAPE U00943 PENDING 8/23/2004 19:53 3592TAPE -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Prather, Wanda Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 1:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: SQL Select statement help I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think it's possible to do that. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Warren, Matthew (Retail) Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 10:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SQL Select statement help Hallo ([I]T/AD)SM'ers Can any wise and clever SQL types help with the following?; I am trying to get TSM to show the number of tapes that went pending by date. I can get this; ANS8000I Server command: 'select cast(pending_date as char(10)),count(*) from volumes where status='PENDING' group by pending_date' Unnamed[1] Unnamed[2] ---------- ----------- 2004-08-27 1 2004-08-27 1 2004-08-27 1 2004-08-28 1 2004-08-28 1 2004-08-28 1 2004-08-28 1 2004-08-28 1 2004-08-29 1 2004-08-29 1 etc.. but what I would like is for the count(*) to be totaling per day. I hoped perhaps the cast() would force this to happen, but it appears the underlying timestamp is still being taken into account. I have tried various other permutations, along the lines of; ANS8000I Server command: 'select cast(pending_date as char(10)) as pending,count(*) from volumes where status='PENDING' group by pending' ANR2940E The reference 'PENDING' is an unknown SQL column name. | ........................................................V...... g,count(*) from volumes where status='PENDING' group by pending but, alas, no joy. I'm wondering if it is actually possible? - I know a little Ksh script that can do it, but I was hoping to achieve it just within TSM - either with a select as I am trying or via some other method.
