Re: Space reclamation of copypool

Thanks,
I see what you're getting at (M. Sanchez), but I was hoping to avoid
shellscripting for two reasons; I'm running onm Win2K, where "shell"
scripting is hardly as good as in any Unix variant. Secondly, I was hoping
there was a way through a TSM (internal) script, to get hold of the
processnumber. I know I can get the processnumber by a query, but I don't
know how to make it a variable.

Luckily for me, the problem is partly solved because the only process
running at a certain time is Space Reclamation, and this allows me to do a
"can proc all", at that time, and space reclamation stops.

Thanks all of you for good input.

Rgds.

Besides making rec=100, you have to cancel the
process.
Here is an example using a shell script:

   dsmadmc -id=your _id -pa=your_pa q pr | grep -i
"space reclamation" > $tmpdir/process9
   if test -s $tmpdir/process
   then exec 5<$tmpdir/process
        read -r -u5 line
        proc=${line%%Space*}
        comma=`echo $proc | grep "," | wc -l`
        if [ $comma -eq 0 ] ; then
           process=$proc
        else
           process=${proc%%,*}${proc##*,}
        fi
        print $(date) "Cancelling TSM process $process
on $server ..." >> $maste
rdir/master.log
        dsmadmc -id=your _id -pa=your_pa cancel pr
$process>>$tmpdir/end_space_reclaim.log
   else print $(date) "No space reclamation processes
found on $server." >> $mas
terdir/master.log
        continue
   fi
