My biggest problem with the 5.3.4.2 ISC was the java-sometimes-pop-up window 
for the command line function; it didn't process output from scripts and 
command line the same way as the old admin GUI.
 
I'm curious as to why you stopped with 5.3.4.2 instead of 5.4; the ISC 5.4 
command-line window seems much better; queries and scripts come back pretty 
consistently the same as the old Admin GUI window.
 
In the meantime, install the patch that lets you use the old web GUI  with 5.3. 
 
(Doesn't work with IE7, but works fine with older IE and Firefox).
 
Naturally it doesn't have any of the new function in it, but the old stuff 
works fine.  
And it works with 5.4.

Subject: TSM Upgrade to V5.3.4.2



We just upgraded from TSM V5.2.7.3 to V5.3.4.2.  The TSM ISC software
needs some work ( our e-mail will not work with the words I wanted to
use).  We installed the ISC version from the TSM V5.4 media pack which
IBM sent me.

Any word on updates to ISC software??  I am using command line to
complete our daily TSM work since the ISC does not have the "q ac"
function which the old java web software had (search on both txt and
message).  A lot of re-training for us since everything is moved around
in the ISC software.
