Arnaud hi,
I am a little troubled understanding why you say that  "TSM is unable to
expire those logs". If you use a separate mgmt class and copygroup for your
logs, and your copygroup parameters are set properly, TSM will expire your
logs.
Maybe if you want to give us some more details of yr installation...

Cheers.

Subject:  expiring Informix logs ...?



Hi everybody !

I come back on something that seems to be an old subject for *SM'ers :
we're using the Onbar API to ensure the backup of our informix logs, what
works really nicely, except we're facing a huge increasing of the number of
tapes used for this storagepool, due to the fact that TSM is unable to
expire those  logs.
We tried to install the onsmsync utility a few month ago, which was
supposed to give us a rid of this problem, but I just saw today that it
isn't working at all !
Does anybody know if Informix or Tivoli found a solution to this problem
(new version of onsmsync ?), or if there is any other way expiring those
#@#@@... logs ?
I saw there is a c programm existing but I have no idea of c language so if
you know something easier, just let me know !
Thanks in advance ! ;-)
Arnaud
