Hello to all of you!

I face the following problem in our test scenario:

We use the backint of SAP R3 to communicate with ADSM.
The most recent  backup is available in the 3494 Tape Lib.
Older tapes stored offsite.

When I start a restore in SAP R3, it gives ADSM the order
to provide the tape that is used for the restore.

But when I start a restore from the past (maybe three day's
ago). ADSM has the tapes not online. Than it gives me a notice
in the actlog that I have 60 minutes to check the required
tape into the lib. I did that an restart the restore. He used
the required tape, but runs to the wall again with the notice
in the actlog for the next offsite tape used for this restore.

I ask some people who have knowledge of ADSM. They told me that
it is not possible to get a list of tape-numbers required for a restore
before the restore session started. Is that true? (I can't belive that!)

Hope someone can give some better fact's and info's to me.

Thanks in advance!
