Since you are using STK Libattach does that mean you did not have to license the "Advanced Device Support" feature from Tivoli to control the powderhorn? On Tue, 27 Feb 2001, Ron Pavan wrote: > Not all STK Libraries require acsls, but the powderhorn does. We have 2 > powderhorns in a SAN using

I agree with the concept. However I would like a distinct parameters say "COMMASeparator [YES | NO]" which would effect the output for process, session, and filesize values and DATESeparator [YES | NO] which would effect the output for the date (and possible time). On Thu, 1 Mar 2001, Peter Dümpe

To me is seems as though the worker sessions should be informing the control session as to the amount of work they have done. Each time the worker reports in, the control session would send a heart beat to the server thus avoiding this annoying timeout. On Wed, 18 Sep 2002, Seay, Paul wrote: >

You can find it documented in the back of the Admin. Reference. I did an audit before upgrading from 4.1.1.5 to 5.1.1.2 and I had to do it again on 5.1.1.6. So if you are going to do an audit, I would recommend waiting until you are on 5.1.1.6 On Wed, 2 Oct 2002, Johnn D. Tan wrote: > Paul: >
