We aren't using 4.1 (3.7) but have received it and are planning to move to
it soon.

        Ginny,
                Open Edition is now Unix System Services.  I went to the
        impl;imentation class and listened to some people complain that
there was
        not a GUI for OS390 Unix System Services CLIENT.  But with the TSM
4.1
        version there is a USS CLIENT, but it requires OS390 2.8 to get
support.  I
        was told it would work with OS390 2.7 but if I needed a fix specific
to 2.7
        they would not make it.  Either way we start putting in OS390 2.10
in a
        month so it shouldn't matter to me.   THe USERTEXT exit is the same
        information that the USEREXIT gets but in a readable text format.
We were
        toying with using a userexit to determin when a backup completes
whether or
        not it was successful, then passing the message up to our external
(to TSM)
        job scheduler.  It looks a little to involved and it seems like NO
ONE IS
        DOING THIS.  I got zero help from IBM/Tivoli (they point out the
DSECT in
        the book at said that is all the help I would get).  And when I
asked the
        group I got Zero responses on it.  If you know anyone doing it let
me know.
        I pushed it back on the UNIX server owners to write scripts on there
        platform to talk to the external scheduler to report status.
            (The virtual tape project sounds like more fun)
        Matt

        Matt,
             Thanks for your reply.  We are running OS/390 2.6 and ADSM
3.1.2.20
        and are backing up Unix System Services (I believe?) - isn't it
called the
        Open Edition or something?  Are y ou saying there is no GUI for 3.7
but
        there is for 4.1?  What is the USERTEXT EXIT?  Yikes - guess I'm
really
        behind.  I've been tied up with a virtual tape project since the end
of
        June and have just let ADSM run itself.

                                 Ginny

        I have recently installed TSM for the first time in our shop.  We
put TSM
        4.1 on OS390 2.7.  As a rule I always put in the most recent
release.  Two
        things I saw on 4.1 that grabbed my attention.  One is the support
for
        Os390's Unix System services at (os390 2.8).  Before that there is
no GUI
        interface.  The second is the support of our remote clients using
subfile
        backups.  I haven't got all the regular servers in production yet so
I
        haven't had a chance to use either of these features yet.  But I
know they
        are part of the plan.
                The only problem I had is with using the USERTEXT EXIT it
was
        giving
        me garbage.  They had a fix for it and a bunch of other things that
I
        didn't
        see.  I believe I am now at 4.1.1.
        Matt

        Hello all,

             It's been a while since I've had time to converse on the list
(or even
        read it, for that matter).  I am preparing to upgrade my ADSM
3.1.2.20
        OS/390 MVS server to a supported level of TSM.  I have noted some
        conversation around a 4.1 level server.  Has anyone out there been
running
        4.1?  Are there any problems with it?  If I upgrade, would you
recommend
        3.7 or 4.1 and at what maintenance level?  Thanks for any help,

                            Ginny
