A "command file stored on the server" is a TSM script, no?
Call DSMADMC to DEFINE the script, then run the script?

Jim,

I'm not sure if I get exactly what you want to achieve, but can you use
the CMD option of the MOVE DRM command.

If you do HELP MOVE DRM and take a look at the CMD option, you may find
that TSM has already catered for what you are trying to do.

Hey folks,

Is there a way to have TSM execute a command file, but one stored on the
server?

Here's what I'm trying to do:  I want to be able to do a MOVE DRM from
my
desktop (where I have dsmadmc running locally), have it generate the
checkin script, and then execute that script.  The reason is that we're
using named private volumes for our offsites, but scratch tapes for our
db
backups, and I want to issue the correct checkin status.

Why not just execute dsmadmc on the server?  I could, and I probably
will,
but I'm eventually planning on constructing a click-and-drool applet to
make this easier for my other admins when I'm on vacation, and I prefer
location independence -- the app may run on a different box entirely.

Any ideas?
