Integrating Backup Recovery and Media Services and IBM Tivoli Storage Manager on the IBM eServer iSeries Server

Appendix C. AIX administrative client in OS/400 PASE sample programs 403

Adding a new administrator to IBM Tivoli Storage Manager

In our example, we created a new IBM Tivoli Storage Manager administrator called

auto_operator, which is used to run all IBM Tivoli Storage Manager commands from the

OS/400 RUNTSMCMD command. To add a new administrator to the IBM Tivoli Storage

Manager server, enter the following commands from the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Web

Server Command window:

register admin auto_operator ibmrochester

grant authority auto_operator classes=system

Sample code for the RUNTSMCMD command

You can use the sample code shown in Example C-3 to compile into the RUNTSMCMD

command.

Example: C-3 Sample RUNTSMCMD CLP code

PGM PARM(&TSMCMD)

/**/

DCL VAR(&CMD) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(230)

DCL VAR(&TSMCMD) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(180)

DCL VAR(&SHELL) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(25) +

VALUE('/QOpenSys/usr/bin/ksh')

DCL VAR(&ACCESS) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(50) +

VALUE('dsmadmc -id=auto_operator -pa=ibmrochester')

DCL VAR(&NULL) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) VALUE(X'00')

/**/

CHGVAR VAR(&CMD) VALUE(&ACCESS *CAT &TSMCMD)

CHGVAR VAR(&CMD) VALUE(&CMD *TCAT &NULL)

CHGVAR VAR(&SHELL) VALUE(&SHELL *TCAT &NULL)

/**/

CHGCURDIR DIR('/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin')

/**/

CALL PGM(QP2SHELL) PARM(&SHELL &CMD)

/**/

ENDPGM

You can use the sample command source shown in Example C-4 to create the

RUNTSMCMD command linked to the previously created RUNTSMCMD program.

Important: The program must have an IBM Tivoli Storage Manager administrative user

and password hardcoded in the program. Make sure that the program and command are

adequately secured by OS/400 security to ensure that only the authorized people are

allowed to use this function.

Important: The code in Example C-3 is case sensitive. You must type the directory

references in lowercase as shown in this example.
