Todd, Ref your notes below. TOR does not support multiple contacts and e-mail address as part of the automatic missed/failed notification feature.
The user group approach should work. It's optional but if specified, the "%1" in the missed or failed notification message will be replaced with the contact information so if you use it then it should either be a group reference or a list of space delimited names. To be backward compatible with old TSM server versions, this information is stored in an existing (contact) field of the node table and the intent was to keep things simple to allow coexistence with other information that may be stored there. Another option would be to use a monitor. Monitors only send notifications if a rule is triggered. You can specify multiple recipients for the monitor. In the monitor's custom summary section define a rule for missed/failed schedules for the specific node. If the rule is triggered the recipients will be notified. Reports and monitors must be defined using the management console but after that reports can be invoked via a command line (tsmrept.exe). This makes it easy to schedule using the windows scheduler which provides more granularity and options for deciding when the report/monitor should run. The TSM 5.3 Technical Workshop Presentation Guide (SG24-6774-00) provides instructions on how to use TOR with the Windows scheduling service. If you do this be sure to use the -NOTIFYRECIPIENTS=YES command line parameter. Issuing: tsmrept /? at a windows command line (from the program files\tivoli\tsm\console directory) will provide a complete list of parameters. Send me a note if you need more info. Regards, Mike Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------- Ref: I ended up creating a user group in our email system, and adding the individuals I want to receive this email to that group. That should work (I will test it out today), but I image the "%1" field will be replaced with the group contact name, instead of an individual's name. Still asking the question... does TOR allow multiple contacts and email addresses? If so, what is the appropriate syntax? ------------- In the properties box of the daily report, on the automatic notification tab, after I "query" the server for the list of nodes and contacts, one of my nodes doesn't show up with the correct contact information. That node happens to have multiple contacts; four different contacts. I remember entering them in seperated by commas without spaces for the "contact" field and for the "email address" field. I checked the "failed" and "missed" check boxes, and performed the update. The "contact" info on the TSM server for that node now shows [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED],contact1, contact 2,contact3,contact4,3 I believe the "3" at the end indicates both failed and missed was selected. When I query the server after the update, the "contact" box is populated with [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> , and the "email" field is populated with [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> . The failed and missed check boxes are no longer checked. Obviously, I have guessed an incorrect syntax for inputting multiple contacts in those fields, if it can even be done. Are multiple notification contacts allowed with TOR, and if so, what is the correct syntax?
