Gerald,

If your TDP for SQL logs are not being updated at all
it usually means that the command file is not
even being launched.  Many times, this means
that the "space in the directory path" is
getting in the way.  Once thing to try is
to define the TSM Server schedule with single quote and
double quotes in the OBJECTS paramter, like this:

   OBJECTS='"c:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\TDPSql\sqldiff.cmd"'

using double quotes around the path containing the space,
and single quotes around the entire string.
The Admin Reference discusses this in the DEFINE SCHEDULE section.
(The other way is to use the short name for the path.)

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Del
