Hi,

According to TSM Support - the expiration will pick up from right where it left 
off the last session - but I am not sure I believe it - we had 125 scratch 
tapes fill up rapidly because expiration was not completing every day.

Subject: Finding out if expiration process is "brand new" of finishing
another one that was canceled


Hi *SM'ers

Does anybody know if there is a possibility to check if a  running expiration 
process is "finishing"  the work of a previous one that had to be canceled, or 
if it is a brand new one that has just began a full scan from TSM DB. 
I need that info to build a script that basically would restart the expire 
inventory process, case it should have been aborted prematurely (because of log 
full condition, see that post : 
http://msgs.adsm.org/cgi-bin/get/adsm0301/673.html), but not start a "full" new 
one (not really clear, I know , but I have kind of a restricted english 
vocabulary, sorry for that !)
Thanks for your advices.
Cheers.

Arnaud
