Client Status ReportingBackups of Clients in TSM are normally controlled by a TSM Client Schedule. The execution of a TSM Client Schedule is represented in TSM by a Client Event. Some Client Events are in the future, while others are in the past. When a TSM Client Schedule has executed, it is important to observe and evaluate the status of the resulting Client Event to ensure that your client data is getting backed up correctly.

STORServer Manager provides the Client Scheduled Event Status view to make it easy to determine the TSM Client Event status and to evaluate problems that occur. This screen shot shows the Client Schedule Event Status view:

By double-clicking on any of the entries in the window shown above, you get detailed information about the execution of the TSM Client Event. A sophisticated query to the TSM Activity Log identifies and captures the information about the TSM sessions that performed the work of the Client Event. This information is then displayed in a separate window for you to evaluate. Error, warning or success status messages are easy to view since they are highlighted in red, yellow or green.
