'Morning, Dale -
I've improved that doc to better explain:
4 Date of accounting (mm/dd/yyyy) - which is to say, when the session
ended. Corresponds to session-end ANR0403I message date in the TSM
server Activity Log. Has leading zeroes (e.g., 06/23/2004).
See also field 21.
5 Time of accounting (hh:mm:ss) - which is to say, when the session
ended. Corresponds to session-end ANR0403I message time in the TSM
server Activity Log. Has leading zeroes (e.g., 06:44:17).
See also field 21.
21 Duration of the session, in seconds. Example: "18838".
You might subtract this from the field 4,5 values to determine when
the session started - which should correspond to the ANR0406I
session started message in the TSM Activity Log.
Of course, TSM backups in general involve a "control session" and a "data
session" (like in the FTP protocol), where the control session envelops the data
session: you'll see two end of session records for a node, where the latter is
the control session. Multi-session backups should have multiple data sessions.
