Joachim, are you sure ? 
We exported many nodes data between OS/390 and AIX, using either common
tapes (magstar) or disc stroage as FILE type, followed by an ftp transfer
from AIX, NO PROBLEM at all !
Yours

Betreff: 


We are using TSM version 4.2 on an AIX server.  We need to move TSM user's
that are on a MVS server running TSM version 5.1 to our AIX server.  Has
any one had any experience exporting node and sever data from a newer TSM
server version to an older one?  Also in the exporting has anyone
encountered any problems moving TSM across different OS's.  Any responses
are appreciated.
