I am sorry if I do not understand your request.
By the way, how about changing permissions for /var/adm/log/tsm to allow
dsmadmc user read/write access to directory (maybe with sticky bit to have
access to directory content as well)?
If many users need access to this directory, you can create group and grant
access to group.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Seemingly stupid dsmadmc behavior
Time for a bit of a rant.
<rant>
I have a new 5.5 server on Solaris. For reasons that I understand even if
it does make my life more difficult, I am not permitted to have root access
on this box, and the Solaris guys have determined that they want the TSM
client log files on /var/adm/log/tsm
So dsm.sys has
errorlogname /var/adm/log/tsm/dsmerror.log
errorlogretention 14,d
This is fine for the root user, but when I log in to use dsmamdc I get
ANS2036W Pruning functions cannot open one of the Tivoli Storage Manager
prune files: /var/adm/log/tsm/dsmprune.log. errno = 13, Permission denied
No big deal, I know this is not a problem and happily ignore it.
However, I have some scripts that my operations people are going to use,
and these invoke dsmadmc multiple times per script to do whatever is
needed. Each time the ANS2036W message appears. yes I'm aware that there
is a work around for this change errorlogretention to S, run dsmadmc to
create the dsmerror.pru file and then change permissions. Someone with
root access needs to do that.
Much simpler would be to just allow the DSM_LOG environment variable to
override the dsm.sys specification, but it cannot.
There is NO reason not to allow this.
Given that I can set DSM_DIR and DSM_CFG to point to any arbitrary file
and also symlink to the message catalog file I can override the system
options files however I please. Its just damned annoying to have to.
</rant>
TSM being complex, difficult and obscure keeps me in work, but its not
doing anything for this wonderful product in the marketplace.
