Re: Discovered a new secret command -- anyone know what "fetch" does?

He he. I really wish a TSM Developer would write a "TSM Unleashed" book,
and within its pages somewhere finally documenting all of the
undocumented commands, explaining each. But I guess that would put some
out of work, which I certainly am not for. Oh well... <sigh>  

Fetch  :)

Subject: [ADSM-L] Discovered a new secret command -- anyone know what
"fetch" does?

So, the other day, we replaced two LTO2 drives in our STK L700... new
WWNs,
so had to delete & redefine the drives & paths.  I have four servers
sharing the library, so that's four sets of path definitions... to make
it
easier I wrote up some macros to delete the paths for each drive & then
define them.  Well, due to an editing error, the "de" in the first "def
path" command got deleted... so the command issued was "f path ...".
TSM
rejected this in an interesting way (recreated here):

 ANS8000I Server command: 'f path'
 ANR2000E Unknown command - FETCH PATH.
 ANS8001I Return code 2.

 ANS8002I Highest return code was 2.

TSM expanded the "f" to "FETCH"...  I just thought it was amusing...
