Dear all,

Few months back our TSM consultant recommended or required us to

to TSM 5.2 since we face problems with terminated schedules. Although

I am looking for a document or a web page that explains what 5.2 has of
advantages and benefits that I can apply in my work environment without
moving to 5.3.

I am considering 5.2 is sufficient to our work and needs. Unless there
is something that is creating problems and 5.3 is the answer.

Any help TSMers?

Sure, even on Sunday...
- The front of each manual contains a Technical Changes summary which
  summarizes high points of client and server evolution.
- The TSM Technical Guide redbooks are excellent in going over new
features
  in each new TSM version/release.
- IBM web pages summarize new features...

    The 5.3 Technical Guide does cover it, however.)

5.2->5.3 is a much greater change than 5.1->5.2 was, so you would need
to carefully gauge the impact on your user community in jumping to 5.3.
