Dear SanTivoli (short name for Tivoli Santa Claus), my four year old son has a christmas calendar that features a little bear that visits all the animals in the forest and asks them for their wishes for christmas. So Mischa (that's the name of the teddy) comes to find out that the elephant wishes a real trumpet, the parrot likes to get a yellow hat and so on.
Ok, that brought me to the idea that we could send our wishlist to SanTivoli. As I hope SanTivoli will be reading ADSM-L, here's a snippet from the top of our wishlist. I'm sure other TSM-users have many more wishes, so Mischa will visit all of them during the next days to collect the wishes... #####-start wishlist snippet-##### 1st wish: Client Resporting We really need a better solution to get the client dsmsched.log/dsmerror.log accessible from our TSM server. Today some messages are making their way to the server actlog, some are only seen at the client. This makes client reporting from the server side quite impossible (or at least unreliable). Collecting all schedlog files from all clients after each backup session gets very painful when there are firewalls or security policies in the way. Please, SanTivoli, send us a nice option for christmas, an option like "-logtoserver=yes". 2nd wish: Multi Stream Restores As Kelly already pointed out, many of us need a multi-stream restore option. When backing up data, TSM has a fine feature that creates multiple backup streams. We'd be very happy to find a multi-stream restore feature under our christmas tree. #####-end wishlist snipped-##### Many thanks in advance to SanTivoli, best wishes to all of you, Michael -- Michael Bartl mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Office of Technology, IT Germany/Austria Tel: +49-89-92699-806 Cable & Wireless Deutschland GmbH.
