It sounds like they upgraded the client while the scheduler services were running. What I think you need to do is stop the TSM services on that node, then copy the tdpdenu.txt file from the c:\tsm_images\TSM for Mail 5416\domino folder into the domino TDP folder. You may also have to do the same for the BA client message repository dscenu.txt This should clear the message repository errors, Phil

When they installed the client and domino tdp they used a 5.3 version they had. When they tried to restore a file the error they got indicated the tsm version used to archive the file is newer than the one they are using to restore it. They upgraded the client to 5.4.1.6 and that soled the retrieve issue but they tell me now the tdp backup is failing and when they use the client to connect they get the message Error 8 establishing TSM API session. The client message repository is corrupt or invalid. Now they tell me that they have uninstalled and reinstalled the client but still get the same message. I have tried searching the archives but from where I am connection to adsm.org is suddenly failing. I was hoping someone had some insight they could pass along. Thanks for any help you can offer.
