Hello, 

Yesterady I was working with new TSM AC 6.1. and I was getting several errors 
from Admin Center 6.1. Twice I got to restart the TSM server/ac Machine becuase 
TSM AC hanged. I suffered the TSM AC 5.3.. But several years late. In my 
opinion,  the TSM AC look & feel is not so good, it is too complicate to use 
for new and even for experienced users.

I think TSM Manager and others software is an alternative for
experimented users but the first impression for the new users is to
drive off  TSM. Until now TSM users don't claim enought about AC..

I would like to know how many TSM administrators are using the AC, and how many 
people are using only AC without TSM Admin command line ( dsmadmc or dsmadmc 
-console). This will be an example if the TSM AC GUI is good or people only 
uses AC for two o three admin tasks. 

IBM should solve this problem now and IBM should improve the TSM GUI. One 
example is the XIV Gui. 

I also think, IBM should simplify TSM too much, each day other SW are doing the 
Backup tasks in a simple way and TSM needs a lot of configurations.
