Yury -
It's conceivable that this message is spurious, resulting from a client
connection attempt while dsmserv was doing conversion work and thus not
in a position to accept sessions. If you're invoking it in foreground,
console mode, then setting server option COMMmethod NONE should prevent
accesses; or change TCPPort to an unusual value during the conversion.
You may want to pass this by TSM Support, to be certain.
