Hi Tim,
Well, therein lies the confusion, and why I responded to that post! I
wanted to make it clear that it was not a new problem.
The IC28969 problem was discovered by someone using the 4.1.1.16, and that
is why it was originally reported that way. The "live" APAR abstract has
since been updated to say, "TSM CLIENT SHOWS SIGNS OF MEMORY LEAK DURING
SCHEDULED BACKUPS."
The leak has been fixed in 4.1.2.12. If you are already at 4.1.1.16 and
aren't seeing the problem, I wouldn't worry about it, at least for the
purposes of getting past the DST switch.
Best regards,
Andy

Andy/all.
The original post, I believe tht was referencing a "new" DST
problem, not a reminder
to the old DST problem.
see ftp read1stc info on ic28969...that has (daylight savings
fixtest) noted in the
readme...maybe the readme is wrong because pulling up the
apar...yes, it
doesn't reference DST...

Hi Tim,
Actually I was referring only to the DST problem (IC28544), per the
subject
and content of the original post to which I responded. IC28969 has
nothing
to do with the DST problem; it is just another APAR fix that was
included
in the 4.1.1.16 client. Although I was not involved in fixing that
problem,
it is my understanding that it has been in the code for quite some
time,
and in fact is not limited to just Windows. If you are fairly
current on
your maintenance and are not experiencing the problem, then I
wouldn't
worry about it; you're fine.
As far as DST goes, as long as you are one of the versions that
fixes it
(listed in my first post on this subject, text included below), you
do not
need to rush into installing new clients just for DST.
Best regards,
Andy

Andy/all, I read your update, I read apar ic28969 and
ic28544.
Are you saying that
ic28544: "AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST CLOCK FOR DAYLIGHT SAVINGS
CHANGES"
CAUSES INCREMENTAL TO DO FULL BACKUP OF NTFS FILES
and
ic 28969 TSM CLIENT SHOWS SIGNS OF MEMORY LEAK DURING
SCHEDULED
BACKUPS.
are referring to the *same* problem as was discovered last
October.
ic28969 (memory leak) has been seen or "This problem was
witnessed
on the 4.1.1.16 client for NT, but
can affect all platforms. It may also affect earlier
client
levels." -< quote from the apar..
This would contridict your update proposal (that...4.1.1.16
is
ok....).
I opened up an etr/pmr asking to narrow the client
platforms
and
levels. Shops with large TSM client
installations can't respond quickly to upgrading TSM client
code....on a dime...
FYI Thanks Tim

Subject: Re: Daylight Savings Fix for Windows NT
Clients
Before anyone shakes their fists and yells, "not AGAIN!!!",
please understand that this is really just a *reminder*,
referring to the *same* problem as was discovered last
October. If you installed the fixing patch for this last
October, you are OK for the change to DST.
The notice is not as clear as it could be, so in order to
avoid further confusion, I have asked that it be changed to
something like this:
=========================================================
REMINDER
Daylight Savings Time Fix for Windows NT/2000
Last October a problem was discovered in the TSM client for
Windows NT and 2000 that caused the first incremental
backup
following a change between Standard Time and Daylight
Savings
Time to back up all files. (Thereafter incremental backups
would run normally, at least until the next change between
Standard Time and Daylight Savings Time.)
This problem is documented in APAR IC28544. It affects data
only on NTFS volumes, so Windows 95 and 98 are not
affected;
Windows NT and 2000 FAT-formatted volumes are not affected.
The problem affects TSM Windows client versions
3.7.2.0 - 3.7.2.16, and 4.1.0.0 - 4.1.1.0.
The problem was fixed in TSM Windows client versions
3.7.2.17 - 3.7.2.19, 4.1.1.16, and 4.1.2.0.
For TSM Windows clients running on the Alpha processor, the
problem is fixed in version 3.7.2.19.
If you have already applied a fixing version from last
October
(or later), then you do not need to do anything for the
upcoming
change to Daylight Savings Time. If you are currently
running a
version of the client that does not have the fix for this
problem, then it is recommended that you apply one of the
following patches:
For the TSM version 4.1 client, patch 4.1.2.12
For the TSM version 3.7 client, patch 3.7.2.19 (both x86
and
Alpha)
=========================================================
