Hello everyone !

I don't know if somebody has this kind of problem, but I have the following
situation in the company I work for:

- We have a TSM team to install, configure and maintain the whole backup
process, server and client;
- We have sysadmins that take care of the operational system and the
applications;
- When there's a need for any action to do with backup, they should open a
ticket for the TSM team;

The problem that we have is that the sysadmins are doing backups/archives
and restores/retrieves without our knowledge, with great impact on our
database (among other things...). We would like to block the access on the
client, but we were not successful. If we use "password generate" on
dsm.sys, the password is prompted only at first access. If we use "password
prompt", the scheduler doesn't work (ANS2050E)...
Any sugestions from the experts ? Maybe it could be a improvement to IBM
implement on the future...
