Hi Michael, Any particular reason why you'd want to send TSM events to Netview and *then* to TEC, as opposed to sending them directly to TEC and cutting out the 'middle man'? Is Netview adding any extra value to these events for you or providing you with any extra visibility? Tivoli Storage Manager Server does include a TEC adapter built-in which requires minimal configuration (IP address of TEC server, TCP port that TEC is listening on, granularity of events etc), and also very comprehensive control over exactly which events TSM will forward on to TEC. Chapter 20 of the TSM Administrator's Guide gives you a lot of useful information on this:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/topic/com.ibm.its maixn.doc/anragd53619.htm Additionally/alternatively, there is TSM Operational Reporting - this might be able to give you some alerting/eventing with a little more control/flexibility, including the ability to write custom reports/monitors. My esteemed colleague Steve Strutt from IBM/Tivoli here in the UK put together a couple of years ago Redpaper on integrating TSM Operational Reporting with the Tivoli Framework to send events to TEC (including some rules correllation of which you speak) - see this link: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/REDP3850.html?Open Hope that helps.

We have found reference to a couple of MIB's; which we can process via Netview, and forward on to TEC, as required. Anybody here care to comment on this process? What best practices do you recommend? Also, we find TSM documentation references to an event adapter (receiver), including these BAROC files: ibmtsm.baroc itsmuniq.baroc itsmdpex.baroc Again, anybody here care to comment on this process? What best practices do you recommend? I have worked enough with TSM to know, and to respect, the voluminous stream of events that these processes can engender. I am especially interested in recommendations regarding managing events on the TSM side. Equally important is correlation. Are there any rulesets available for managing TSM events?
