You may disable quiet mode and the open files error will be saved in the
dsmerror.log.  you can then send the dsmerror.log.
'though the errors are not just the open files but at lest it is a little
bit clearer that using the dsmched.log.

Subject:       Backup Report

Hi TSM'ers

I am busy implementing a TSM/WIN2K environment and the customer asked me to
do an interim demo today. The scheduled backup of the local client ran ok
but failed due to open files.

He then asked me what I thought was a legitimate question: Where is the
output report so that we can know why the backup failed, and not just that
it did fail.

I know other backup solutions can do this.

Apart from looking in the TSM event log is there anyway to make TSM
automatically generate an output report and say email it to someone?

If anyone has done this before I would appreciate your help.

Ta

John
