-Michael- Here is a description of the APAR:
APAR= IC31516 SER= IN INCORROUT PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE DOES NOT WORK IF MACHINE NAME, NODE NAME AND PASSWORD ARE ALL THE SAME. Status: OPEN Closed: Apar Information: RCOMP= 5698TSMCL TIVOLI STR MGR RREL= R42N FCOMP= PFREL= F TREL= T Return Codes: Applicable Component Level/SU: Error Description: When using passwordaccess generate and the machine name, the node name, and the password are all the same, the encryption scheme can result in having 0 symbols. This means that the password will appear to be corrupt in the tsm.pwd file. User will be prompted for the password even if it was alreaady set and using passwordaccess generate. This occurs because the encrypted password cannot be read. Local Fix: Do not use the same nodename and password. ****Should I upgrade the client to the next release 4.1.3 or should I go up into the latest 4.2 client? A Tivoli Storage Manager V4.2 client can perform backup, restore, archive, and retrieve functions to a Tivoli Storage Manager V4.1 server. Therefore, it would be wise to go ahead and upgrade your client to the latest of 4.2.1.0 or even patch 4.2.1.23. It is not recommended that you uninstall the client in the README.ftp file but it wouldn't hurt!

We reset the password and it is ok for awhile then happens again. Someone responded that there was a fix APAR IC31516, but I can not find this fix in the version 4.1 clients. I am running 4.1.2 client on server 4.1.5. Should I upgrade the client to the next release 4.1.3 or should I go up into the latest 4.2 client. Also do I have to remove the previous version, or can I just install over it.
