Also, where are they placed? Seems, there is some inconsistency in the option file path, while looking at the line in tdpoerror.log: "11/13/2006 14:41:34 TID<778564> ==> ANU2615E Options file '/usr/tivoli/tsm/oracle/bin64/tdpo.opt' not found."

If you do not specify this option..." that means that dsm.sys is not looked for ? do i have to put something into /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin dir ? thanks, goran AIX 5.3 TSM 5.3 client 5.3 tdpo 5.3 -------------------------------------------------------- If you are not an intended recipient of this e-mail, please notify the sender, delete it and do not read, act upon, print, disclose, copy, retain or redistribute it.
