hi, You can also use TSM API sample program to expire the objects. It's installed in /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/sample. You will have to run the make file: make -f makeapi.aix. The executable name is dapismp. Define DSMI_DIR, and DSMI_CONFIG env vars before starting the executable. You will have to signon first. Try querying the objects first before deleting them. Please remember that this tool is not a supported tool. You will have to use it at your own risk. regards, Thiha Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2001 09:59:51 +0200 From: PAC Brion Arnaud <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: TSM api and C expert wanted for understanding expire.c !

I therefore was looking for a solution to get a rid of this garbage polluting my nice sytem, when I found in this mail group what seems to be an excellent utility written in C : expire.c I tried to install it on one of our nodes backing up an informix db, but got some problems having it working properly. Something must be wrong in my parametering, because I always get the same error return code : "*** BSAInit failed: (12) An entry in the environment structure is invalid". Here is a short description of all my configuration and the commands I used :
