Andy,
I tried that install for the first time last night and was at first
pleased that the process was pretty much SOP but the finish left me
dissapointed.
I put in a number of entries via the wizard but then the process was
finished & the TSM GUI was launched I got an error on the dsm.opt file.
I went looking and found a blank dsm.opt: none of my entries were saved.
IBM/Tivoli QA has somehow missed another significant glitch.
Regards,
Steffan
