Hi, I remember reading somewhere that a TSM DB should ideally not be allowed to grow passed 120GB before having another instance of TSM. You will find that you will have a major problem should you have to run an AUDITDB for example if you ever have errors in your DB. Instead of hours or a day, you

We still use the thresholds instead of the reclaim stg command. I would make the switch if they added an endtime option as opposed to the duration it currently has. Our daily maintenance processes vary greatly in the amount of time they take to complete each day, so duration is completely
