Sounds similar enough to probably be it, especialy since I have a lot of
nodes with "." in the name.

However, still don't see the 4.2.3.2 patch out there. Just checked.

Zoltan:
We see the same thing.  Problem is described in APAR PQ68442 - fixed in
4.2.3.2 patch level.  Here is the description:

Problem Summary:
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: This APAR affect the Tivoli Storage          *
*                 Manager server version 5.1.X  and 4.2.X on   *
*                 MVS.                                         *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Character encoding algorithm in the     *
*                      web engine is not converting EBCDIC     *
*                      character to ASCII before making the    *
*                      encoding.  This results in              *
*                      non-alphanumeric characters, such as    *
*                      a dash (-) or period (.), in being      *
*                      incorrectly translated when decoded     *
*                      by the web engine.                      *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: Install PTF or PATCH when available.  The    *
*                 release schedule and version number may      *
*                 change at IBM discretion.   The target       *
*                 PATCH is 5.1.6.1 and 4.2.3.2.  The target    *
*                 PTF versions are 5.1.7.0 and 4.3.4.0         *
****************************************************************
Non-alphanumeric characters are encoded into an escape
sequence in a URL.  The web engine on MVS was not converting
the characters into ASCII character set before encoding the
characters.

LOCAL FIX:
Use the Admin Command Line to modify, update or delete TSM
DB definitions that contain special characters in the name.

I am having some strange issues with the Web Admin interface after
upgrading to 4.2.3.0 from 4.2.2.13.

I did not do ann UPGRADEDB based on message I saw here that I did not need
to do this since I had already done it for the 4.2.2.13 level.

Yes, I did the /RUNFILE DD:IDL.  In fact, I just did it again to see if I
missed something from the original run.

Yes, I checked that I am pointing to the correct datasets.

What I am seeing is stuff like this when I query a Client Node:


        Client Nodes : VCUNET CMSERVER%6C4BVCU%6C4BEDU

        No objects found

It won't show me filespace information nor correct client information.
