TSM Performance Analysis Report (QP1ATSMRPT)

The TSM performance analysis report lists and summarizes recent data transfer activity for save and restore operations with a Tivoli® Storage Manager (TSM) server. You can print this report using option 53 from the GO BRMRPT menu. The report summarizes TSM data transfer activity recorded in file '/tmp/brms/tsmapis'. The default action is to create a report using all available records. You can create a report using records filtered by date, job number, job user and minimum number of blocks in the data transfers.

The following should be noted about this report:
  • The Entry field identifies the current TSM data transfer entry.
