Hi, getting a consolidated view........
We are currently faced with the following upgrade situation.
Very little R&D info is available re the ADSMConnect Clients and TDP clients ito of backward compatibility issues. I.e having to restore backups from the ADSMConnect backup levels with the TDP clients, co-existence matters, install preservation, etc..
Being unsupported product levels now does not help in getting official statements/documentation from IBM/Tivoli on the matter.
The question is whether anyone in the field does have any one similar config working/not working/working with problems/had to backout, etc.. If you would be so kind and let me have the input re this situation at your site.
The ADSM / TSM upgrade part is not in particular seen as a problem. Yet any showstopper info/pointers/references will also be welcomed.
Server: ADSM 3.1.2.50 to TSM 4.1.3.x server

Jupiter:
From:
ADSMConnect for Oracle 2.1.0.6 (Unsupported)
Oracle 7.3.4.5
AIX 4.2.1 (Unsupported)
EBU
ADSM API
The platform used is Oracle certified (i.e correct levels of software, etc.)
To:
TDP for Oracle 2.2.1
Oracle 7.3.4.5 (Oracle 7.3.4 is shown in the TDP for Oracle booklet...I take it 7.3.4.5 is ok!)
AIX 4.2.1 (AIX 4.3.1 is listed as the requirement...is this for real....or only because 4.2.1 is not supported anymore?)
EBU
TSM API 3.7.2 (is a higher level API supported ..ie. was this the latest level API available at the time of publication? )
1) Is this target system possible?
2) Can I see, restore and manage the old system's Oracle backups with the new system?
3) Can I use the same EBUCAT as the old system?
