Re: [SPAM: 3.700] Re: [ADSM-L] Select Statements

One other reference point that I have used, apart from all the excellent
previous suggestions, is the TSM Operational Reporting (if you run it).

Drill down through Reports-->Operational Reports-->Custom Report.
Select the Properties of the Custom Report and then settings. This will
show a large number of very useful  select statements. They are mostly
for monitoring/reporting purposes, but I found them useful in coming to
terms with the constructs and syntax. Also good for getting to
understand substr and cast.

The actual raw text files with all the select commands are macro files
".mac" and the path is as follows;

C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\console

Where do you get the syntax information for the select statement?  i.e.
substr , etc.
Thank you.

I recently had to query the summary table for info regarding the
database backups. My requirement was to report how long the database
backups were taking. I found that the following select query sufficed.

select substr(char(end_time-start_time),3,8) as backup_duration from
summary where activity='FULL_DBBACKUP'

I know this is not exactly what you are asking, but from the construct,
you should be able alter it to do exactly the things you require.

Also, the following query will return all the fields that are available
for database backups in the summary table


select * from summary where activity='FULL_DBBACKUP'

Hi,

I am new to the this list and need some advice.

I am trying to create a select statement I can run to monitor the
Database Backups of our TSM Servers.  I know there are fields in the
SUMMARY portion of the table that has Start Time, End Time, Activity,
Entity, Volume Name and Successful fields, but I am not sure as to how
to put all this together in a nice script that can email to a group of
individuals the status.   I am not sure if I need to query several
parts of the database in order to compile this info or not.

Can anyone help me out?

Thank You,
Roger
