Intended for firewall security, the "sessioninitiation" property on the nodes may work for this. You will have to disable the setting if anyone actually wanted to do a manual backup or restore from the client side, but that's a quick "upd n"
Only the TSM Server would be allowed to start client sessions.

I don't know if somebody has this kind of problem, but I have the following situation in the company I work for: - We have a TSM team to install, configure and maintain the whole backup process, server and client; - We have sysadmins that take care of the operational system and the applications; - When there's a need for any action to do with backup, they should open a ticket for the TSM team; The problem that we have is that the sysadmins are doing backups/archives and restores/retrieves without our knowledge, with great impact on our database (among other things...). We would like to block the access on the client, but we were not successful. If we use "password generate" on dsm.sys, the password is prompted only at first access. If we use "password prompt", the scheduler doesn't work (ANS2050E)... Any sugestions from the experts ? Maybe it could be a improvement to IBM implement on the future... __________________________________ Leandro Mazur This message and any attachments (the "message") is intended solely for the addressees and is confidential.
