Well, if you were at 5.1.5.7 then I would guess IC35417 as a possibility. But if you are sure you are not at that level, then that is probably not the problem.
It would help to know a little more about the circumstances surrounding this problem. For example, when is this session started with respect to the node's scheduled backup (i.e. at backup start, sometime in the middle of the backup, after the backup proper has completed, etc.)? Are you running in polling or prompted schedule mode? Are you using the CAD to handle the scheduling, or are you using the client scheduler service only? If you do a QUERY SESSION from the Admin CLI, what does it show for this session? Do subsequent QUERY SESSION commands (spaced, say, 1 to 5 minutes apart) show *any* change in *any* of the output fields? Are there any anomalous messages in the client dsmsched.log or dsmerror.log files? How about on the server, with respect to this node's activity during the scheduled backup timeframe?

We occasionally have a couple more that have the same behavior but is ALWAYS the case with this one particular server. The session would run forever if I didn't kill it. We have tried restarting services on the client and rebooting the client server to no avail. Support pointed me to APAR IC33672 but although we are running in schedmode prompted, none of the other conditions exist for us (i.e. server has not bee restarted) and most of our servers are completing successfully every night. Could the issue be with TSM server? Could an upgrade of the client possibly correct the issue? Just wanted to see if anyone on the list has experienced this same issue and can shed some light on this...please let me know if I need to provide any additional info... Thanks! K.
