This thread has been going on a while, and a lot of people have the same opinion. Paul, can you tell us what SHARE requirements have already been submitted for improvements to the admin interface? (or to bring back the GUI?)

I have tried to do this in the past, and the amount of time it took to get the link to "fill" the spreadsheet (or Access db, for that matter) was WAY too long. My db at that time was about 50,000 MB. -lisa (p.s.-- I still use the old GUI too!! We all asked these same questions when the interface was removed, and we never heard back from the listening developers (that I remember) that addressed why it went away, and why it would not be resurrected. I say we should submit a SHARE requirement to bring it back!!) Tab Trepagnier <Tab.

That's why I use Excel and an ODBC link to the database. It's read only, but I have full filtering, searching, sorting, etc. of Excel to work with what comes back from the queries. I have a spreadsheet called GUI_ODBC and it includes the embedded Microsoft Query queries. I just select the page of info I'm interested in (like "volumes") and click the Refresh icon. In about three seconds I have a new list of volumes with all fields displayed. If I have to do something with a particular volume, I usually resort to the command line.

The bigger your TSM gets (We are at 550 clients on the largest server), the more impossible it becomes to use the web admin because of the lack of filtering and sorting capability. ************************************************************************ Wanda Prather The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab 443-778-8769 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Intelligence has much less practical application than you'd think" - Scott Adams/Dilbert ************************************************************************ -----Original Message----- From: Rupp Thomas (Illwerke) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 12:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Web Admin Interface - grrr Hi TSM-ers, Our Network Storage Manager (NSM - 3466) was just upgraded from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2.8. Now the format of the QUERY SESSION from the lefthand tree OBJECT VIEW / SERVER / SESSION has changed from FORMAT=STANDARD to FORMAT=DETAILED. Instead of one line per session I get now 12 lines. That makes it impossible to see what's going on ('$%&?) How can we convince Tivoli to create a useful administration interface (be it GUI or a Java Applet). Am I the only one who has problems with the admin interface and still running the old 3.1 Windows GUI?
