Arguments

Tips:

• To see the list of accepted arguments and data types for arguments, execute the following:
  exec master.dbo.<procedure_name> show_help

• To convert the script for use with the command-line utilities, execute the following:
  exec master.dbo.<procedure_name> show_cmd, <xp_arguments>

@desc

Specifies a description to filter the returned results to those that match the pattern.

NOTE: @desc is only supported if @TSMBriefList=0.

@tsmarchive

Specifies to store the backup as a TSM archive. This argument accepts one of the following values:

• 0—False (default)
• 1—True

@tsmbrieflist

Returns a brief list. This argument accepts one of the following values:

• 0—False
• 1—True (default)

NOTE: It is not needed for archives as they are only returned as a brief list.

@tsmclientnode

Specifies the TSM server LiteSpeed connects to during backups and restores. Not required, if specified in the options file or if backing up with the Passwordaccess Generate option.

@tsmclientownerpwd

Specifies the TSM client owner user password. Not required, if specified in the options file or if backing up with the Passwordaccess Generate option.

@tsmconfigfile

Specifies the TSM configuration file.

You can use the %TSMDEFAULTPATH% variable to make LiteSpeed detect the default TSM configuration file path automatically (by getting from LiteSpeed defaults as a priority or the registry - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\ADSM\CurrentVersion\BackupClient)

@tsmexpdatelower

For TSM archives, it specifies the oldest expiration date and time of where to start the list. The format is yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.

@tsmexpdateupper

For TSM archives, it specifies the most recent expiration date and time of where to stop the list. The format is yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.

@tsmfilespace

Specifies the space on the TSM server that contains a group of files. It can be the drive label name or UNC name.

@tsmhighlevel

Specifies the TSM high-level name. If you do not specify this parameter, LiteSpeed will retrieve all high levels from the TSM server.

NOTES:

• This parameter supports wild cards (e.g. MyLowLevelName*, MyHighLevelName*).
• You do not necessarily have to have both the @tsmhighlevel and @tsmlowlevel parameters in one query.

@tsminsdatelower

For TSM archives, it specifies the oldest insertion date and time of where to start the list. The format is yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.

@tsminsdateupper

For TSM archives, it specifies the most recent insertion date and time of where to stop the list. The format is yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.

@tsmlowlevel

Specifies the TSM low-level name. If you do not specify this parameter, LiteSpeed will retrieve all low levels from the TSM server.

NOTES:

• This parameter supports wild cards (e.g. MyLowLevelName*, MyHighLevelName*).
• You do not necessarily have to have both the @tsmhighlevel and @tsmlowlevel parameters in one query.

@tsmsortbylowlevel

Sorts the results by the low level name. This argument accepts one of the following values:

• 0—False (default)
• 1—True

@tsmsortbypit

Sorts the results by the point-in-time date. It accepts one of the following:

• 0—False (default)
• 1—True

@tsmpointintime

Specifies the date for restore/to filter results. If it is not passed, LiteSpeed will choose the most recent archived backup. The format is yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.

NOTE: If the backup was a striped backup and the point-in-times of the various striped files are different (rare but can be different a second or so), then the most recent of the times must be chosen.

Example

exec master.dbo.xp_view_tsmcontents
@tsmclientnode = 'ClusterGroup'
, @tsmclientownerpwd= 'test16'
, @tsmfilespace= 'SLS_Mar'
, @tsmconfigfile= 'C:\Program Files\Tivoli\tsm\baclient\dsm.opt'
, @tsmarchive=1
, @tsminsdatelower='2006-03-15 13:00:00'
, @tsminsdateupper='2006-03-16 18:00:00'
, @tsmexpdatelower='2007-02-14 09:00:00'
, @tsmexpdateupper='2007-03-17 18:00:00'
