IBM Spectrum Protectâ„¢ Client 7.1.6 Downloads and READMEs

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When configuring Tivoli Storage Manager services (scheduler
  and/or client accept daemon) the setup wizard ignores the value
  set for event logging and sets it up with default value (yes).
  
  As a result, all the information and errors are reported in the
  Windows Event log.
  
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics:
  
  The value of event logging for the services can be verified
  using the dsmcutil tool with the following syntax:
  
  dsmcutil query schedule /name:?<scheduler service name>
  
  Check for the value ?event logging?  that it is set to the
  default value:
  
  Event Logging       = YES
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: All Tivoli Storage
  Manager version v6.x and v7.x on Windows platforms
  
  Initial Impact: Low
  
  Additional Keywords: setup wizard event logging yes
  

Local fix

• After having created the service use dsmcutil tool for setting
  the "event logging" parameter at the desired parameter.
  
  For example:
  
  dsmcutil update /name:"TSM Central Scheduler Service"
  /eventlogging: No

Problem conclusion

• The problem has been fixed so that TSM JGUI client's Setup
  Wizard handles  "Even Logging" option in the proper way now
  enabling event looging when this option is set to 'Yes' and
  disabling event logging otherwise.
  

Temporary fix
