Please call your Tivoli support rep back and ask about the status of APAR
IC33455. This is the correct APAR for this problem. I have included the
text below.

ERROR DESCRIPTION:
 Found on TSM Version 4.2.2.0
 Other Versions Affected  TSM Server V5.1
 OSs Effected All (recreated on WIN, AIX, Solaris)
 Happens with all TSM Client levels (tested 4.x thru 5.1 clients
 Impact: medium
 When backing up to a V4.2..2.0 or V5.1.0 TSM server the
 summary table is not being updated to show the correct amount
 of bytes received.  In the older versions of the server the
 bytes would display the amount of data received,however with
 versions 5.1.0 and 4.2.2.0 the bytes received is
 reflecting 0 bytes.  This is a problem for customers that
 verify backups with scripts querying the SUMMARY table:
 ..
 "select * from SUMMARY where ACTIVITY = 'BACKUP' "
 ..
 Examples:
   Server Version 4, Release 2, Level 1.11
 Total number of bytes transferred:     8.55 MB

We just went up to 4.2.2.2 and it's still broke. Actually that BROKE it for
us. We were at 4.1.2.5 before that. I have a PMR open and the tech said "Per
my research, this problem matches APAR IC31132 for AIX, and IC31296 for
Windows.  Per the README file for TSM 4.2.2, these apars
were supposed to be fixed at this level.  As such, I will need to escalate
this for further determination by our L2 group."

It's better than SMF...I don't need SAS and it's not RECFM=VBS! Just a nice
SQL query from Excel does the trick.

BUT WAIT... have you not seen 4.2.2 and 5.1.x -- both have "broken" summary
table info, specifically the BYTES column is (mostly, not always) ZERO!  I
am still researching the other columns, they may be FUBAR'ed also;  I am
told there is an APAR open for this -- IC33455 -- anyone know when it will
get fixed?!?  (For capacity planning & workload monitoring, this is the
single BEST resource we've used in a long time, since the old SMF days!)

Select entity, cast(bytes/1024/1024/1024 as decimal(8,2)) as "Gigabytes  "

I am using the summary table to monitor how much data migrates from disk on
a daily basis. What is the easiest way to find change the amount to
gigabytes versus bytes? Or does someone have a particular select statement
for this.

Thanks in advance
