Re: STORServer client
Thanks Kelly we got it working. I'm curious, and so is the new administrator, as to why this password file was missing. He doesn't believe anyone has access to delete this file and for sure he didn't, so he says, so the question is will the client software delete this file if the password expiration period has elapsed or for any other reason?

Re: STORServer client
Geoff, I obviously have no idea how the file was deleted. Hard to say. No, the client only updates the file when the server hits the password expiration date, identical to the Unix clients function. ABC didn't delete it.

Re: STORServer client
Geoff, Like the UNIX clients, the password is stored in a file with a .pwd extension. Ask the customer to issue the following OpenVMS command: dir adsm_dir: and look for a file with that extension. Then delete it: del adsm_dir:mumble.pwd;*. Then execute the adsm command again: adsm/pass. That will force the client to challenge the user for the correct password thus creating a new .pwd file. One might need to reset the client password on the TSM server to ensure they know what password to enter when challenged. Let me know if this doesn't work and I'll find a smart guy to help you. You can switch to private email if you would like.

Re: STORServer ABC
Folks, When I saw this post, I asked our engineers if it would be possible to more nearly approximate the other messages from our client. Unfortunately, we're a V 3.1 API client and as such have very limited support for messages. We can't get them there with what we have. I am equally interested in the results of the post and we'll take the idea under advisement if we become a client based on a later API version.
