>From Bill Smoldt at SSSI:
For those of you who need to know, there is a Visual Basic script in later
versions of TSM to break the DRM plan stanzas into individual files. This
means we no longer need REXX. The script is in the server directory and the
usage is:
cscript planexpl.vbs <planfile>
You will have to fully specify the path to either file that is not in your
default directory.

Your specific documentation can be created as one or all of the following
files in the \server directory:
RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.GENERAL
RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.OFFSITE
RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.INSTALL
RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.DATABASE
RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.STGPOOL
Remember that your DR plan should be able to be carried out without you.
With this in mind, we break out the file before sending the diskette off
site, for NT servers you will have to use Rexx to breakout the macro's.. The
poor sap who gets to do the recovery may not know what Rexx is or where to
find it. Doing the breakout on the front end make life easier. Rexx is
available from the Technet CD or NT server resource kit CD, I think!.
Personally I think Tivoli should bundle Rexx with TSM. Also, the should give
you the option to give the prepare file a standard name as an alternative to
the DATE.TIME format of the file name.
