Do you know about this IBM  tool given in the above link?  Is it like a one
JDBC driver for all platforms for TSM from IBM?  Is there any evaluation
version available for this ?
Thanks

The ODBC driver is available for Windows only (see the README file that
accompanies the ODBC driver for details on what Windows versions are
supported). There is no charge to download the ODBC driver.

You can find most TSM code on FTP site ftp.software.ibm.com in directory
storage/tivoli-storage-management.

From there, you will see "maintenance" and "patches" directories.

"maintenance" is for .0 releases (i.e. 5.1.5.0) and "patches" is for
patches (i.e. 5.1.5.2).

The ODBC driver is a component of the backup-archive client. Since it is
5.1.5.0, you want to traverse into the "maintenance" directory. To find
it, go to:

   maintenance/client/v5r1/Windows/WinNT/v515

Thus the entire directory is:


storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/client/v5r1/Windows/WinNT/v515

The files you want all begin with IP22546_ODBC. The ODBC driver package is
called IP22546_ODBC.exe.

After you install the driver, run the ODBC Data Source Administrator,
click on the "Drivers" tab, and verify that 5.1.5.0 is installed.

querying its databse thorugh
java code



Hi,
Actually I searched all IBM and Tivoli sites with key words ODBC driver
and Storage and the download pages do not have download for ODBC driver
for
TSM 5.1 or TSM.  Do you know the URL for that donwload of ODBC driver
version 5.1.5.0 for TSM for Windows 2000 and do you know if it is free or
if
it requires some fees?  One more question is is the ODBC driver is only
for
Windows 2000 (or) is TSM has ODBC drivers for Solaris and  AIX also?
Thanks
