There is an API for commands that the Admin Center uses, but AFAIK it
has not been published anywhere.  I did look at reverse-engineering it
once, but it seems to be an XML-based data-stream and I quickly lost
interest as at that time I had no tools for handling XML.

I think that you are probably violating TSM licensing conditions if you
attempt reverse-engineering as well.

Hi All,

I'm thinking about an yatac (Yust Another TSM Admin Console), just
like the famous dsmadmc, but without the also famous problems as
comma's in q sess/proc, better ways of displaying table's, etc etc.
And if possible, without using the dsmadmc itself, as not everybody
does install it at the same location.

Does anybody know if there is an API for admin command's? Or how to
use the dll of the dsmadmc if that is usefull.

Thanks,
Maurice
