I'm glad it worked out for you. The "-virtualnode" option is good if you
want to gain FULL access to a specified remote node. Your basically
tricking TSM into thinking you are that node so there are NO access
restrictions to anything. In an access controlled environment however "set
access" is your best option. Thanks!.

What are the reasons if there are any  to use  -virtualnodename  over set
access ? I don't have problems in setting access .
in my last command date format was wrong. 2-1-2003 won't work - It
requires 02-01-2003 . also added quotes .

A better option to use for this is: "-virtualnode" if your able to get the
remote node's TSM password. Also try to put double quotes around any path
specifications with wildcards. Thanks!.

ANS1302E No objects on server match query

can I use wild card characters in this retrive ? like *.*  /  *  or *.Z to
restore all files ending with .Z
I want to restore /d90/oradata/approd/backup/*.Z to
/d90/oradata/apuat0/backup/

Thank You
