Operational Reporting Question - sending Mails to more than one address

Hi all, short question ;-) is it possible to send the failed/missed reports from the Operational Reporting tool to more than one email-address? If yes - How can we do this? We need to send the mails to the node admin and his deputy. Thanks in advance! -- mit freundlichen Grüßen Joachim Stumpf

If you never delete your volhist, you can search it to track the number of times the volume has been assigned to a storagepool. This won't track usage as a TSM DBBackup, but if you're willing to be close but not exact, you can use it. If you want to track mounts, you need something external. A g

Re: dbb & dbsnapshots

I actually do the opposite - I send snapshots offsite and leave DBBs onsite - the reason being that you can roll forward recovery logs on a dbb but not on a dbs - if you lose your db due to non-disaster reasons, it is quite possible that you may still have the recovery logs and can roll forward.

Make sure you understand the effect of moving to roll-forward mode. - Is your log large enough - how often will incrementals run - will your log fill before incrementals finishes at peak processing Here is info we collect each day from a script. It shows our log usage over the last 24 hours. NO

As I recall, when you change it to ROLLFORWARD, it will ask to do a full DB backup right away. So it might be better not to do it while RECLAMATION is running, or EXPIRATION, or if you don't have a tape drive free to do the DB backup. But client backups running shouldn't be a problem, and there
