Off-hand, I do not know what the problem could be, at least for the
non-4.1.2 nodes. For the 4.1.2 nodes, I would recommend upgrading to the
latest client levels (or at least something that is supported. as 4.1 is
no longer supported).
For the 4.2 or higher clients:
Do the same clients exhibit the problem every time? Some times? Once? Are
there any messages in the dsmsched.log or dsmerror.log files that would
indicate a problem? how about in the server actlog? I'm not sure if the
extracts you included were a complete log of events between the client
start and end times, but I suspect not... any client sessions get
disconnected or cancelled due to timeouts? Were there any other problems
reported?
If you have a client that can consistently reproduce the problem, try
going to that client machine and running a manual backup against a
sizeable directory such that the problem would be obvious if it occurred,
i.e.:
dsmc i c:\somedir\ -su=y
Does the problem exhibit itself when a backup is run manually?
If you don't see anything obvious, then you might try upgrading to the
4.2.3 or 5.1.5 client levels (5.1.5.9 for Windows) and see if that helps
(I know it's just a shot in the dark, so try one client first to see if
that makes a difference). If you *still* see the problem, then you should
open a problem report with IBM so that we can look into it in further
detail.

Subject:
My TSM server is 4.2.3.0 on AIX 4.3.3
I am seeing inaccurate values for elapsed processing time
for multiple os platforms, multiple os levels, and
multiple tsm client levels.
I have included one example. Has anyone else seen similar
inaccuracies?
If looking to see how long my backup took, I assume I
should start disregarding the elapsed processing time that
TSM is reporting. Does anyone know of a more accurate
place one should find such data?
