Greetings,

This note is to let you know that there is a technology preview available
for IBM Tivoli Storage Manager operational reporting.

TSM operational reporting is a simple tool designed to help you keep TSM
running smoothly on a day-to-day basis. It runs on Windows and supports TSM
servers on all platforms.    You can find a detailed description and
download information by going to:

 http://www-1.ibm.com/support/entdocview.wss?uid=swg24004874

or if there are any problems with that link you can go to your favorite IBM
web site, for example:

http://www.ibm.com or
http://www-3.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/storage-mgr

and enter the following number into the search field: 4004874  Then click
on the Operational Reporting Preview link.

You will be prompted for an IBM registration ID and you can request one at
that time if needed.

Please note that the technology preview is unsupported and is subject to
change. The license agreement that is displayed during setup provides
detailed information related to this.

All questions and feedback should be directed to opreport AT us.ibm DOT com as
ADSM-L will not be monitored for this purpose. A best effort will be made
to acknowledge receipt for all mail received at the opreport address. Note
that response time will likely be slow for the next two weeks but it will
pick up after that.

A small user's guide will be made available on the technology preview web
page by the end of day on the 15th. There are a couple of small updates
that are required for using the default reports for TSM servers running on
OS390 and PACE and the information will be available in that document.
There is a walk through presentation available now and it provides a good
introduction to getting operational reporting up and running.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Best Regards,
