Dear all,
Few months back our TSM consultant recommended or required us to upgrade to TSM 5.2 since we face problems with terminated schedules. Although the new enhancements are not fully utilized. Now they (IBM) recommending us to upgrade to ___________________________________________________________???
I am looking for a document or a web page that explains what 5.2 has of advantages and benefits that I can apply in my work environment without moving to 5.3.
I am considering 5.2 is sufficient to our work and needs. Unless there is something that is creating problems and 5.3 is the answer.
Any help TSMers?
Sure, even on Sunday... - The front of each manual contains a Technical Changes summary which summarizes high points of client and server evolution. - The TSM Technical Guide redbooks are excellent in going over new features in each new TSM version/release. - IBM web pages summarize new features...

http://www-306.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/storage-mgr/ enhancements-v5.3.html (Note that this 5.3 page fails to mention the Java GUI. The 5.3 Technical Guide does cover it, however.)
5.2->5.3 is a much greater change than 5.1->5.2 was, so you would need to carefully gauge the impact on your user community in jumping to 5.3.
