Hello,

We just upgraded our TSM Server this  from 5.5.4.0 to 5.5.5.0  to fix APAR
 IC66116.   Since the server upgrade we have experienced  several recovery
log pinning incidents from a few different database backup clients.   I
haven't found any hits on new bugs related to our issue and I just opened
up a case with support but was wondering if anyone had a similar issue
with this level of server and client code or know of any APARS this might
fit?   Our recovery log has always been set to 13GB so I can't expand it
anymore.     Running a database backup doesn't free any space while the
client database backup is running either.   We run 1 full TSM database
backup and multiple incrementals throughout the day.   The only difference
is the upgrade to the latest code.   I'm not seeing any other errors, just
showing different database clients pinning the log after issuing show log
pinned command.   Sometimes the client backup finishes before hitting 80%
and sometimes TSM server cancels the longest running backup that is
pinning the log.

example of error:
                          29857)
04/16/11   04:03:26      ANR0524W Transaction failed for session 24418 for
