Folks,
I thought I read somewhere that the TSM 4.1 version of the API was not
working well, and it is recommended to use the 3.7 version. Is this correct
or am I going crazy. I have tried to search through the archives on adsm.org,

Peter,
Another thing to think about is how often your database is backed up fully,
versus the logs being archived. We only back up the dbs fully once per week,
and logs are applied to get to a particular point in time. Because of this,
we use :

verd = 0

I can't seem to get HSM to generate a candidates list and begin migrating

>Matthew - Is the file system occupied by small files, under 4KB in size?
No, it isn't. In fact it is occupied by a few quite large files, between
100-500 Meg. There are some lock files in the filesystem, which are around
4KB, but the majority of the files are larger.

I agree with John that there should be at least two modules for the
functionality that you are proposing. Otherwise I think that this is a great
idea, and I'd be interested in seeing what you have so far.

Fred,
From what I have read and been told by IBM support, you will want to
use the TSM 3.7 API no matter what version of the other TSM client code you
use. Apparently the API for 4.1 and above has major problems, this will be
fixed, but for now just use the 3.7 API.
