Depending on the operating system, if you've installed the BA client, you'll get the API also. > If this is the case, is this one licensed client or two?

We set up a different stanza in dsm.sys for each instance, and identify the TSM server stanza for 'this' instancd with the per-instance dsm.opt. So, in ~ne6tst1 (test instance 1) I've got environment variables such: DSMI_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin DSMI_CONFIG=/export/db2home/ne6tst1/tsm/tsm.opt DSMI_LOG=/export/db2home/ne6tst1/tsm/ The tsm.opt looks like: --- server dbback_ne6tst1 --- which is in turn a reference to a dsm.sys stanza like this: --- servername dbback_ne6tst1 COMMmethod TCPip TCPPort 1610 TCPWindowsize 64 TCPBuffsize 128 TCPServeraddress tsm-int.cns.ufl.edu mailprog /usr/bin/xsend root passwordaccess generate nodename ne6tst1 --- - Allen S.
