q act originator= sessnum=

[vkravindran]

Has anyone used 'q act' with sessnum argument? It doesn't work for me, even though I see that session number in the activity log. The exact command I give is this:



TSM> q act originator=Client sessnum=204



TSM 5.3 on Solaris.



Any clues?



Thanks

This should work (even on solaris ) if (and only if) the client actually sent the message. An actlog entry like "Session # ended for node..." does NOT originate from the client but from the server and will therefore not be displayed using your query. Entries like "Total number of objects inspected:" etc. originate from the client and should be displayed if you specified the correct timeframe with q act. If it doesn't, call IBM.



If you're not sure about whether or not a particular message does originate from the server or the client, either scan the message documantation or run:



select * from actlog where date_time>current_timestamp-(1)hours



This gives you all actlog details for the last hour including the Originator and SessID (aka session number).



Cheers
