hi,

You can also use TSM API sample program to expire the objects.  It's
installed in /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/sample.  You will have to run
the make file:  make -f makeapi.aix.  The executable name is dapismp.
Define DSMI_DIR, and DSMI_CONFIG env vars before starting the executable.
You will have to signon first.  Try querying the objects first before
deleting them.  Please remember that this tool is not a supported tool.
You will have to use it at your own risk.


regards,
Thiha

Hi *TSM'ers !

Like lots of TSM administrators backing up informix DB's thru onbar
utility, I'm facing an expiration problem for the logical logs created
in my storage pools (each log has an unique identifier, what disables
TSM expiration capability). I therefore was looking for a solution to
get a rid of this garbage polluting my nice sytem, when I found in this
mail group what seems to be an excellent utility written in C : expire.c
I tried to install it on one of our nodes backing up an informix db, but
got some problems having it working properly. Something must be wrong in
my parametering, because I always get the same error return code : "***
BSAInit failed: (12) An entry in the environment structure is invalid".
Here is a short description of all my configuration and the commands I
used :
