Rachida,

tivoli.tsm.server.com is 4.1.0.0 while tivoli.tsm.server.rte is at level 
4.1.3.0
your server maintenance update is incomplete and this may cause some 
memory leaks or interoperability problems. Both filesets *must* be at the 
same level!
BTW: You may also consider update to v4.1.5. Have in mind that v4.1 soon 
will go out of support and evaluate also upgrade to v4.2.x or 5.1.
