TSMOR includes a set of canned sections in the default report. Some of
them use the TSM summary table to obtain information. There have been
problems with the summary table in older versions of the server. The
officially supported versions of the TSM server (5.1.8+ for 5.1 and
5.2.2+ for 5.2) should not have these problems. If any are found then
a PMR can be opened to get them fixed.  By default TSMOR generates
a file that corresponds with each report which ends with .in.  You can look
at this file to see the set of commands that TSMOR is sending to the
server (to see if the summary table is involved for example). The
corresponding .out file shows the results that the server returns.

Also, all sections are all optional in TSMOR and you can easily add new
sections to obtain information from any table and most queries.
