Load IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM) events

TSM Historic collection uses dsmadmc command with SQL query as one of the parameters to collect all historic data.

Windows:

C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsmadmc  -id= <userId> 
-password= <password> -tcpserveraddress= <server> -tcpport= <serverPort> 
-DISPLaymode=LIst -noconfirm  <query>

Linux:

C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsmadmc  -id= <userId> 
-password= <password> -se= <configInstanceName> -DISPLaymode=LIst 
-noconfirm  <query>

SQL queries utilizes the following database tables:

  • sessions

  • EVENT

  • actlog

  • summary

  • summary_extended

Windows:

 C:\Program Files\Aptare\mbs\bin\tsm\tsmhistoricevents.bat
			

Linux:

 <APTARE HOME>/mbs/bin/tsm/tsmhistoricevents.sh
			

To capture data from a specific period, use the following utility:

 tsmhistoricevents.{sh/bat} <MetadataCollectorID> <ServerID> ["<Start Date>" "<End Date>" [verbose]]
			

Where:

  • The MetadataCollectorID and the ServerID can be found by executing the following utility:

    For Windows: C:\opt\Aptare\mbs\bin\listcollectors.bat

    For Linux: /opt/aptare/mbs/bin/listcollectors.sh

  • yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss date format.

  • Specifying verbose will log the IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM) commands called to the metadata.log file.

Note:

If the Start and End Dates are not specified, the utility will capture events that occurred in the previous 24 hours.
