Hi TSMers. I became a victim of the RESTORE DB problem from an IBM3494 library with AIX TSM 4.2.1.9. It came as a surprise because with TSM 3.7.2 we had to do numerous DB restores for real with the Activity Log full to the brim type problem.
I guess I should pay more attention to the postings on TSM type issues that affect us, but I found being able to search for this problem at 05:00 on a Sunday morning really useful! Now for the real issue though. How on earth did the TSM 4.2 code get released with such a bug in it (IC32149 refers) ? Secondly, I cannot understand the logic behind the restriction on LOADDB whereby you can only use a manual library on AIX for this function. Can anyone explain why there is such a restriction ? We are used to fully automated kit, with no operator intervention here. We had no problem with the LOADB on our OS390 TSM 4.1.4 system, so you can see my curiosity as to why the AIX version of LOADDB is so restrictive. Robin Lowe Senior Storage Analyst
