Backint gets it's parameters from a parameter file - usually init<SID>.utl. There is a stanza at the end of this file used to define the characteristics of the adsm server(s). In your case, the SERVER entry is ADSM. You need an entry in /usr/lpp/adsm/bin/dsm.sys for SERVERNAME ADSM with the proper IP address or hostname and any other overrides -- usually for TCPWINDOWSIZE and TCPBUFFSIZE. It sounds like this isn't present.

In my case, I used the default in dsm.sys --- servername localSrv. My init<SID>.utl has a stanza for SERVER localSrv specifying management classes and retentions.

Good luck -- it works well under SAP 3.1G, but we haven't looked at SAP 4.0 yet.

Folks,
I have the following environment:

AIX 4.3.1
ADSM Server for AIX v.3.1.0.3
ADSM Client for AIX v. 3.1.20.5
SAP 4.0B
Backint 2.2.5.1

The problem hapens when I execute the "brbackup" command. The backint
