Hello Again! Now that I have successfully ran the export node command with previewimport=yes I believe I am ready to actually export the data directly from adsm to tsmprod. Here is what I saw in the actlog on adsm:

(SESSION: 956, PROCESS: 43) When I go to export the data directly to TSMPROD in order to preserve the archive retention and all other definitions for the node pgsp007, do I have to do the following? 1. Create a domain: retired 2. Create management classes with the same parameters and names that are used on the old system. 3. Define pgsp007 to the retired domain. 4. Run the export command without the previewimport=yes. I am running this command under my admin id. Should this work? Will it just create a copy on tsmprod and not delete what is on the old system? Thank you again for your advice! ******************************** Joni Moyer Highmark Storage Systems Work:(717)302-6603 Fax:(717)302-5974 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************
