Try running this one (I can't remember if this is long running or not and I don't have TSM DB available to me right now):

When we try the select description from archives statement, we get one line per file within the archive... Since we've got archives with about 30.000 files, our server falls on timeouts and often no returns are given. Within the retrieve module of the Backup-Archive Gui, you can view a list of all available archives.. so it should be possible to generate this list with a select, no?? Does anybody have an idea??
