Hi Sascha,

You have two (3) options when doing commands to TSM. Without the f=d, you
get
normal about, with it you get detailed info - (f=d). The 3rd option is
format=gui.
In the old days of ADSM there was a GUI that worked/works a whole lot better
than the WEB Gui. When this interface sends commands to TSM it sends it with
the
format=GUI - and interprests the output to be displayed for the GUI.

Just BTW - are any of you guys still using the GUI?
I've got 4.2.6/5.1.5/5.1.6 TSM servers and the GUI still works fine - only
where it gets to listing storage pools it stopped working after we upgraded
to 5.1.5.

Anyhow - the f=g is used by the old GUI.

Regards
Christo
