Eric, Did you try Q ACTLOG instead, using NODE=NODE_NAME, MSG=MSGNUM BEGINTIME and ENDTIME parameters, which may be faster than the select, but the resluts may not be as straight and detailed as your select...

My TSM Operational Reporter creates a daily report for our Windows guys. Part of this report is a SQL query which returns all missed files. This is the query: select - actlog.nodename as "Node Name", - substr(char(actlog.date_time), 1, 16) as "Date/Time", - substr(actlog.message, 26) as "Message" - from actlog,nodes - where - actlog.nodename=nodes.node_name - and (actlog.msgno=4005 or actlog.msgno=4007 or actlog.msgno=4018 or actlog.msgno=4037 or actlog.msgno=4987) - and (actlog.date_time between '%s' and '%s') - and (nodes.contact like 'Windows%%') - order by actlog.nodename The problem is that the query is taking more that 3 hours to complete, probably because it's using non-indexed database tables. Does anyone know how to make this query more efficient? Thank you VERY much for your help in advance!
