I see the "ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: BACKUP STGPOOL..." in the actlog at the time that the command was first issues. The ba stgpool started and was running fine. 12 hours (exactly) later, the script reported the "ANS1017E session rejected" and went on to the next command, which was "ba db...", however the ba stgpool was still running. There was nothing recorded in the actlog when the script reported the ANS1017E other than the commencement of the ba db command.
It appeared that command line 'dsmadmc -id=admin -pass=$TSMPWD "ba stg collgoldprimarypool collgoldcopypool maxpr=3 wait=yes"' timed-out waiting on a return from the command. It,or all practical purposes, orphaned the ba stg and continued processing the rest of the script. I can find no time-related values in the server's configuration that is anywhere near 12 hours (43,200 seconds). I guess that at this point, I am comfortable in understanding what happened, and am now interested in finding out if that timeout can be adjusted.

David - The "ANS1017E Session rejected..." message should have a corresponding ANR message in the Activity Log, so look there - and check your server timeout values (e.g., IDLETimeout) for the value you observe. Richard Sims -----Original Message----- From: Taylor, David Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2007 5:46 PM To: ADSM List Subject: wait=yes timeout?? Can anyone confirm that there is a 12 hour time limit for a scripted dsmadmc command where "wait=yes" is set? I have an AIX script that performs basically synchs up my production TSM server with one at our DR site. A portion of it is below. --------------------------------------- # synch the primary and copy storage pools # backup the TSM DBB to remote disk that appears local # make sure devconfig and volhist files are up to date dsmadmc -id=admin -pass=$TSMPWD "ba stg collgoldprimarypool collgoldcopypool maxpr=3 wait=yes" dsmadmc -id=admin -pass=$TSMPWD "ba db type=full dev=remotedbbfileclass wait=yes" dsmadmc -id=admin -pass=$TSMPWD "ba devconfig" dsmadmc -id=admin -pass=$TSMPWD "ba volhist" ----------------------------------------- An enormous amount of data came into the system last night and the storage pool backup was taking a LONG time. After running for almost exactly 12 hours (I can get it down to within 22 seconds), I received an "ANS1017E Session rejected..." error and the script continued processing, however the storage pool backup still hadn't completed. Basically the storage pool backup was orphaned and continued running while the script went on to the database backup. Because of the timing, I feel pretty confident that there must be a 12 hour timeout on a wait=yes, but would feel a lot better if someone could confirm it. I tried doing a lot of searches on it but couldn't find anything close to an answer. Thanks in advance!
