Hi Steve,

It seems that the APAR IC25798 has been fixed in patch
level 5 of the 3.7.1 client. You can download the patch from
the ftp site:
ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/client/v3r7/AIX/

Regards,

Thanks Len.  I should have done a search on IBMLink...

....but I wonder why such a high impact problem has not been resolved in
nearly 2 months.  This will prevent me from upgrading my clients to TSM,
except for dire needs, as adding DOMAIN statements all over the place is
out of the question (the workaround on the APAR text).
