Hello Del, 

thanks for helping.

My problem in gereral is solved, i picked the answer out of the technical
database techDoch ID:7171103.

We definded to the server that the tape pool Ex_1 (our Exchange) can take
120 scratch tapes. That was to
less an not checked by our monitoring. Exchange run out of tapes. And so no
full backup could be completed.
A fatal mistake. We now have to think about how to monitor our ADSM system
and his components. Thats not 
so easy because we have lots of nodes but only a few people who should
handle it. Therefore we looking for a 
tool to solve that task. My site prefer to use standardised tools. I said
100ed times we can handel that with perl.
But the afford to keep self made programms up to date is to much. So we
looking and looking for a standardtool.

IBM or Tivoli did you hear my praying? I remember the good old days of Sams
or Arcserve. But things change...
