Hi

Have you tried using 

"select * from processes where PROCESS='Deduplication' and status like '%idle%'"

and checking the RC status of that? I dont run dedup on my testserver, but I 
think the process is called Deduplication in the processes table.

Ärende: Identify Duplicates Idle vs Active state?

I'm working up scripting for our TSM 6.2 system where dedup will be implemented.

Is there a way to test for the IDLE state of an IDENTIFY DUPLICATES process?

I'd like to have our script test for the idle state to allow the next set of 
work to proceed as soon as possible.

We've used  IF(RC_OK) in TSM 5.x scripts to test for upper(process) = "BACKUP 
STORGE POOL" or upper(session_type) = "NODE", but I don't see a way to detect 
that idle vs. active state on identify duplicates processes.

Thanks...
