The last SHARE conference in Long Beach, CA included a session on
"Everything You Always Wanted to Know about the TSM Server Database".  I
believe that Dave Cannon is planning to present this at SHARE in
Minneapolis and perhaps at a Symposium at Oxford later this year.

You should be able to get a copy of this presentation for the share
proceedings.

Subject:  Unload / Reload Informations


Hi all,

is there any documentation what is the meaning of a "database record", a
"database entry", a "Bit vector" and so on ? I didn't find any hint in the
TSM
Documentation.
When unloading and reloading a database you get the values for these kind
of
things (and others)
And as a correct Admin I wanted to compare the values of the Unload- and
afterwards of the Reload Job.
Unfortunately the counter for the database records was different, but the
larger
counter for database entries was correct (and the bit vectors also)
I started TSM and everything was fine. (at the first view)
But I didn't find any informations about that. So I don't know if the
difference
matters ....
Could someone give me a hint ?

Thank you in advance
Gerhard Wolkerstorfer
