The problem with speed in the admin web interface could be related to your proxy, if you have one. We have a similar problem in a customer, the administrative web interface was very slow, and when we removed for the TSM server address to go thought the proxy, the response time was much much faster. It is just one idea Regards Maria ----- Original Message ----- From: Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 09, 2000 5:39 PM Subject: Re: Client ver 3.7.2 - no SA software There are too many things, in the WWW interface that do not work like the SA gui or are simply not available. For instance, I collect data transfer statistics. I do this by going to the SA GUI client, SERVER ACTIVITY LOG, select all 4961 messages and then SELECT / PRINT them to a file that is imported into a spreadsheet. Can't do this with the WWW interface. The output is wrapped (if you just cut/paste). No option to print to a file or with COMMA DELIM, etc. Also, did I mention it is dog-slow !!! I have tried using the WWW interface and after waiting 20 minutes (this is of course, after clicking through 8-levels to find something) for a query to return (and don't even think about suggesting our network is the issue. We run 1GB ethernet, FDDI, ATM, etc. Speed is not an issue), I jumped into the SA GUI program and the same query/info came back almost immediately !!!. You may use any web browser like Netscape to administrate the server, the address is default to dns of your server followed by port 1580, in my case it is http://pu01:1580/. Then you'll get a nice GUI. Regards Werner Nussbaumer -----Original Message----- From: GEOFFREY.L.GILL [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Donnerstag, 9.

I also liked it. I did try a test though. I installed the 3.1.08 version on a computer and upgraded to a newer version without removing. Since the new version does not install in the same directory structure as before I was able to keep the SA GUI and it seemed to work. I doubt Tivoli would support you if you had problems since 3.1 is going off support soon.
