I think the answer to this question is, "No" , but I am going to ask anyway.
I want to make a listing of the management classes used by each client. I have been asked to provide a list of applications that use longer than our standard retention policy. TSM will not identify applications for me, but I can look up Client/server names. I know how to write an sql query against the backups table. I have queried particular node_names to see what management classes they use. Thanks to instruction from W, I realize that the backups table is huge. I tried to make a more efficient query by restricting the query to Active objects of type File and running it on the TSM server with the smallest DB, but it was still running when I came back from lunch. select distinct node_name, class_name from backups where type='FILE' AND STATE='ACTIVE_VERSION' Is there a smarter way to find this information out? The owners of these clients for the most part would have no idea and would be no help. Thanks, George Huebschman "Let me get this straight.
