As a blanket statement, I'd have to answer "false".

I am not personally aware of any problems in current code (and this
doesn't mean that, hypothetically, there aren't any), but historically TSM
server development is fully aware of past problems.

If you have specific problems with SUMMARY table information, then I
recommend that you:

- Consider the most current server maintenance. Check the README file to
see if any known problems are fixed in that level.

- Search the TSM support page
(http://www-306.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html)
for problems that match your symptoms.

- Open a problem with IBM support.

With that said.. what problems are you currently experiencing with the
SUMMARY table, and which TSM server are you running?

Regards,

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
