Folks,

Does anyone know the how the following works for sure:

During library definition a read element status command is sent to the
library to help the definition process.  Is a read element status then
issued during each subsequent library initialization (at startup) or is this
information stored statically in the database?

The specific case I'm curious about is when slots are added to a library.
Will TSM detect these new slots as part of the initialization or will a
library re-definition be required?

I have seen a case where a simple restart detected the new slots and I have
also seen the case where a re-definition was required.

What is really happening?  Clearly this is for the engineers.

Thanks,
