IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

COMMIT (Control committing of commands in a macro)

Use this command to control when a command is committed in a macro and to update the database when commands complete processing. When issued from the console mode of the administrative client, this command does not generate a message.

If an error occurs while processing the commands in a macro, the server stops processing the macro and rolls back any changes (since the last COMMIT). After a command is committed, it cannot be rolled back.

Ensure that your administrative client session is not running with the ITEMCOMMIT option if you want to control command processing. The ITEMCOMMIT option commits commands inside a script or a macro as each command is processed.

Privilege class

Any administrator can issue this command.
