Export a Tivoli Storage Manager script from one server to another

Resolving The Problem

Follows the steps below to export a script from one server to another.

1. On the source server, run the following query command :
   
q script myscript f=raw outputfile=/tmp/tsmscript.out

   Replace "myscript" with the name of the script you want to export. The script will be written to the file specified by the "outputfile=" parameter. The file will be written on the machine that runs the Tivoli Storage Manager machine. In this example, the script will be written to /tmp/tsmscript.out.
2. Transfer the script file to the target machine that runs the other Tivoli Storage Manager where the script is to be imported. For example, transfer the file with ftp using binary transfer.
3. On the target server, run the following command to define the script :
   
define script myscript file=/home/tsminst1/testscript.out

   In the "file=" parameter, specify the location of the script file that was transferred from the source server to the target server. The file does not need to be transferred in the same location. In the example, on the source server, the script was written to /tmp/tsmscript.out. The script was then transferred to the target machine and stored into /home/tsminst1/testscript.out.
   

1. On the source server, use the following command file :
   tsm-scr-exp.cmd
   @echo off
   rem ********************************************************************

   rem * This command file will query the scripts on a Tivoli Storage Manager
   rem * server and will write the scripts to files, to be later imported
   rem * on a different server.
   rem
   rem * The script accepts 3 arguments :
   rem * 1. The Tivoli Storage Manager administrator userid
   rem * 2. The Tivoli Storage Manager administrator password
   rem * 3. The directory where to write to scripts. Each script will
   rem * be written in a separate file with the file name equal to
   rem * the script name.
   rem *
   rem ********************************************************************
   SET TSMID=%1
   SET TSMPA=%2
   SET OUTPUTDIR=%3
   SET TSMCMD="dsmadmc -id="%TSMID%" -pa="%TSMPA%" -dataonly=yes select distinct(name) from scripts"
   For /F %%N in ('%TSMCMD%') do dsmadmc -id=%TSMID% -pa=%TSMPA% q script %%N f=raw outputfile=%OUTPUTDIR%\%%N
   
2. This will write the scripts in files in the output directory. Transfer those files to the target server.
   
3. On the target server, use the following command file :
   tsm-scr-imp.cmd
   @echo off
   rem ********************************************************************
   rem *
   rem * This command file will read the raw scripts previously written
   rem * in files and will define them to the Tivoli Storage Manager server
   rem
   rem * The script accepts 3 arguments :
   rem * 1. The Tivoli Storage Manager administrator userid
   rem * 2. The Tivoli Storage Manager administrator password
   rem * 3. The directory where the script files are written. Each script
   rem * needs to be written in raw format and the file name must be
   rem * the name of the script.
