Email Backup Completion Alerts

[dcharles226]

Hello,

I was wondering if it was possible to redirect the output of "q event" into a file and then have that file emailed daily to us admins.

Basically, what we want is a daily report/status update of how our Exchange backups are doing. I've been looking at server options for this such as using bmail to send the contents of the tsm logfile, redirecting the contents of that log file to a text file etc. However none seem to be very practical.

If anyone has any tips on backup completion emails, please let me know, it would be very appreciated. We are also looking at TSM Operations Center, and what kind of daily alerts/reporting that has.

Thanks for your help and suggestions in advance!

You can now do that with the 7.1.4 Operation Center: https://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.4/srv.common/r_techchg_srv_714_oc.html

Demo:

I'm still on 7.1.3, so have not used that yet.

Hello,

It's a nice feature, remembering the old Operational Reporting Tool...
You will need to install OC a 7.1.4.200 level in order to have the enced reporting to work.

Thanks for your replies. We will look into upgrading our TSM Server to 7.1.4.

Right now, we are on 7.1.1 so the Enhanced Reporting is another reason to upgrade.

Thanks again!
