$$_TSMDBMGR_$$ sessions start and end every few seconds

[marko.stanojlovic]

I configured a TSM internal DB backup (TSM 6.3 on AIX 7.1), and after that i noticed that user $$_TSMDBMGR_$$ i generating sesions that just end right away and this is happening every 20s.

Any idea what is the reason and how to solve it?

This is the output:
...

I am not sure if this was already reported and has an APAR to it. Sorry too lazy to search now!

You may want to patch to 6.3.3 or later (if there is one).
