bold type is used to introduce the option, or used in an example.
| Changed and new information is indicated by a vertical bar (|) to the left of the
| change. Ensure that you are using the correct edition for the level of the product.
| AES 256-bit encryption added as an available encryption type in the
| backup-archive client and the API
| AES 256-bit encryption has been added as an available encryption type in
| the backup-archive client and the API. The encryptiontype option is used
| in the backup-archive client to specify the algorithm for data encryption.
| This is used to encrypt data that is sent to the Tivoli Storage Manager
| server. AES 256 encryption will be used as a more secure algorithm for
| data encryption, which can be used to encrypt data that you back up,
| archive, restore, or retrieve. For additional information, see “API
| encryption” on page 45.
| Added option to disable security protocols that are lower than TLS 1.2
| In order to comply with new US federal requirements for new
| cryptographic standards, the ability to restrict SSL protocols to TLS 1.2 or
| above is available. If you want to disable security protocols that are lower
| than TLS 1.2, add the ssldisablelegacytls yes option to the client options
| file or select Require TLS 1.2 or above on the Communications tab in the
| backup-archive client preferences editor. Selecting this check box can
| prevent spoofing attacks by malicious programs that accept lower-level
| protocol connections even if the Tivoli Storage Manager server does not.
The API includes function calls that you can use in an application to perform the
following operations:
v Start or end a session
v Assign management classes to objects before they are stored on a server
v Back up or archive objects to a server
v Restore or retrieve objects from a server
v Query the server for information about stored objects
v Manage file spaces
v Send retention events
When you, as an application developer, install the API, you receive the files that an
end user of an application needs:
v The API shared library.
v The messages file.
v The sample client options files.
v The source code for the API header files that your application needs.
v The source code for a sample application, and the makefile to build it.
v The dsmtca file (UNIX and Linux only) .
For 64-bit applications, all compiles should be performed using compiler options
that enable 64-bit support. For example, '-q64' should be used when building API
applications on AIX®, and '-m64' should be used on Linux. See the sample make
files for more information.
Important: When you install the API, ensure that all files are at the same level.
For information about installing the API, see the installation procedures in the
Tivoli Storage Manager Backup-Archive Client Installation and User’s Guide for your
operating system.
References to UNIX and Linux include Mac OS X, HP-UX, Oracle Solaris, and
z/OS®.
You define options in one or two files when you install the API on your
workstation.
On UNIX and Linux operating systems, the options reside in two options files:
v dsm.opt - the client options file
On other operating systems, the client options file (dsm.opt) contains all of the
options.
Note: The API does not support these backup-archive client options:
v autofsrename
v changingretries
v domain
v eventlogging
v groups
v subdir
v users
v virtualmountpoint
You also can specify options on the dsmInitEx function call. Use the option string
parameter or the API configuration file parameter.
The same option can derive from more than one configuration source. When this
happens, the source with the highest priority takes precedence. Table 1 lists the
priority sequence. For more information about available options and
communication methods that the API supports, see the Tivoli Storage Manager
Backup-Archive Client Installation and User’s Guide for your operating system.
Table 1. Configuration sources in order of decreasing priority
Priority UNIX and Linux Windows Description
1 dsm.sys file not applicable This file contains options that a system administrator
sets for UNIX and Linux only.
(client system Note: If your dsm.sys file contains server stanzas, make
options) sure that the passwordaccess option specifies the same
value (either prompt or generate) in each of the stanzas.
2 Option string Option string
One of these options takes effect when it is passed as a
(client options) (all options) parameter to a dsmInitEx call. The list can contain client
options such as compressalways, servername (UNIX and
Linux only), or tcpserveraddr (non-UNIX).
To help you get started, review the procedure to build the sample dapismp sample
application by your platform:
v For UNIX or Linux applications, see “UNIX or Linux sample application source
files.”
v For Windows applications, see “Windows 32-bit sample application” on page 7,
or “Windows 64-bit sample application” on page 8.
The dapismp sample application creates its own data streams when backing up or
archiving objects. It does not read or write objects to the local disk file system. The
object name does not correspond to any file on your workstation. The “seed
string” that you issue generates a pattern that can be verified when the object is
restored or retrieved. Once you compile the sample application and run dapismp to
start it, follow the instructions that display on your screen.
The files that are listed in Table 3 include the source files and other files that you
need to build the sample application that is included with the API package.

You must install the following compilers to build the UNIX or Linux API sample
application:
v AIX - IBM Visual Age compiler Version 6 or later
v HP-IA64 - aCC compiler A.05.50 or later
v Linux - GCC compiler Version 3.3.3 or later
v Mac OS X - GCC compiler Version 4.0 or later

1. To build the API samples, run the following command:
gmake -f makesmp[64].xxx
Important: Always prefix the file space, high-level, and low-level names with
the correct path delimiter (/) when you enter the name, for example:
/myfilespace. You must use this prefix even when you specify the asterisk (*)
wildcard character.
Important:
v For Windows applications that are built with V3.1 of the API, replace adsmv3.dll
with the new adsmv3.dll and add in tsmapi.dll. For new applications, build the
application with the tsmapi.dll. These DLLs are 32-bit DLLs.
v For best results, use dynamic loading. For an example, see the file dynaload.c
and the implementation in the sample code.
v The api\obj directory contains the API sample program object files.
v Use the Microsoft C/C++ Compiler Version 15 and the makefile makesmp.mak to
compile the API sample application dapismp. You might have to adjust the
makefiles to your environment, specifically, the library or the include directories.
v After you compile the application, run the sample application by issuing the
command dapismp from the api\samprun directory. The dapismp sample program
contains the execution directory.
v Choose from the list of options that are displayed. Ensure that you run the
sign-on action before you run any other actions.
v Always prefix the file space, high-level, and low-level names with the correct
path delimiter (\) when you enter the name, for example: \myfilespace. You
must use this prefix even when you specify the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
For Windows operating systems, the source files that you must have to build the
sample application are listed in Table 4 on page 8. The sample application is
included in the API package. For convenience, a precompiled executable
dapismp.exe is also included.
Important:
v For best results, use dynamic loading. For an example, see the file dynaload.c
and the implementation in the sample code.
v Files for the sample application are in the following directories:
api64\obj
Contains the API sample program object files.
api64\samprun
Contains the sample program dapismp. The sample program contains the
execution directory.
v The DLL tsmapi64.dll is a 64-bit DLL.
For Windows operating systems, the source files that you must have to build the
sample application are listed in Table 5. The sample application is included in the
API package. For your convenience, a precompiled executable (dapismp.exe) is also
included.

When you design your application, review the considerations in Table 6. Start
structures with memset fields might change in subsequent releases. The stVersion
value increments with each product enhancement.
Table 6. API Considerations for designing an application
Design item Considerations
Setting locale The application must set the locale before the API is called. To set the locale to the default
value, add the following code to the application:
setlocale(LC_ALL,"");
To set the locale to another value, use the same call with the proper locale in the second
parameter. Check for specifics in the documentation for each operating system that you are
using.
By setting AIXTHREAD_SCOPE to S, user threads that are created with default attributes are
placed into system-wide contention scope. If a user thread is created with system-wide
contention scope, the user thread is bound to a kernel thread and is scheduled by the
kernel. The underlying kernel thread is not shared with any other user thread. For more
information about this environment variable, see the following topic:
“Using multithreading” on page 16
v Ensure that only one thread in a session calls any API function at any time. Applications
that use multiple threads with the same session handle must synchronize the API calls.
For example, use a mutex to synchronize API calls:
getTSMMutex()
issue TSM API call
releaseTSMMutex()
Use this approach only when the threads share a handle. You can use parallel calls to API
functions if the calls have different session handles.
v Implement a threaded consumer/producer model for data movement. API calls are
synchronous and the calls for dsmGetData function and dsmSendData function block until
they are finished. By using a consumer/producer model, the application can read the next
buffer during waiting periods for the network. Also, decoupling the data read/write and
the network increases performance when there is a network bottleneck or delays. In
general, the following holds:
Data thread <---> shared queue of buffers <---> communication
thread (issue calls to the TSM API)
v Use the same session for multiple operations to avoid incurring an overhead. For
applications that deal with many small objects, implement session-pooling so that the
same session can be used across multiple small operations. An overhead is associated with
opening and closing a session to the Tivoli Storage Manager server. The
dsmInit/dsmInitEX call is serialized so even in a multithreaded application only one
thread can sign on at any time. Also, during sign-on the API sends a number of one-time
queries to the server so that the server can do all operations. These queries include policy,
option, file spaces, and local configuration.
During a restore, pay special attention to the restore order. After the query, sort on this value
before the restore. If you are using multiple types of serial media, then access the different
types of media in separate sessions. For more information, see the following topic:
The following fields are examples of data structures that have size limits:
v Application type
v Archive description
v Copy group destination
v Copy group name
v File space information
v Management class name
v Object owner name
v Password
These limits are defined as constants within the header file dsmapitd.h. Any
storage allocation is based on these constants rather than on numbers that you
enter. For more information, see Appendix B, “API type definitions source files,”
on page 155.
The dsmQueryApiVersionEx should be the first API call that you enter when you
use the API. This call performs the following tasks:
v Confirms that the API library is installed and available on the end user's system
v Returns the version level of the API library that the application accesses
Determining the release of the API library is very important because some releases
might have different memory requirements and data structure definitions.
Downward compatibility is unlikely. See Table 7 for information about your
platform.
Table 7. Platform compatibility information
Platform Description
Windows The message files must be at the same level as the library (DLL). The
Trusted Communication Agent module (dsmtca) is not used.
UNIX or The API library, the Trusted Communication Agent module (dsmtca), and
Linux the message files must be at the same level.
The dsmQueryApiVersionEx call returns the version of the API library that is
installed on the end user workstation. You can then compare the returned value
with the version of the API that the application client is using.
The API version number of the application client is entered in the compiled object
code as a set of four constants defined in dsmapitd.h:
The API version of the application client should be less than, or equal to, the API
library that is installed on the user's system. Be careful about any other condition.
You can enter the dsmQueryApiVersionEx call at any time, whether the API session
has been started or not.
Data structures that the API uses also have version control information in them.
Structures have version information as the first field. As enhancements are made to
structures, the version number is increased. When initializing the version field, use
the defined structure Version value in dsmapitd.h.
typedef struct
{
dsUint16_t stVersion; /* Structure version */
dsUint16_t version; /* API version */
dsUint16_t release; /* API release */
dsUint16_t level; /* API level */
dsUint16_t subLevel; /* API sub level */
} dsmApiVersionEx;
dsmApiVersionEx apiLibVer;
memset(&apiLibVer,0x00,sizeof(dsmApiVersionEx));
dsmQueryApiVersionEx(&apiLibVer);
Note: When you run applications that assume a multithreaded API, use the
dsmQueryAPIVersionEx call.
Restriction: The default for the API is single-thread mode. If an application does
not call dsmSetUp with the mtflag value set to DSM_MULTITHREAD, the API
permits only one session for each process.
For UNIX or Linux for versions 3.1.6 through version 4.1.2, you cannot use the
Trusted Communication Agent in multithread mode. If you want to set the
passwordaccess option to generate, you must be an -Authorized user. For version
4.2 and beyond, this is no longer true.
Once dsmSetUp successfully completes, the application can begin multiple threads
and enter multiple dsmInitEx calls. Each dsmInitEx call returns a handle for that
session. Any subsequent calls on that thread for that session must use that handle
value. Certain values are process-wide, environmental variables (values that are set
on dsmSetUp). Each dsmInitEx call parses options again. Each thread can run with
different options by specifying an overwrite file or an options string on the
dsmInitEx call. This enables different threads to go to different servers, or use
different node names.
Recommendation: On HP, set the thread stack to 64K or greater. The default value
of the thread stack (32K) might not be sufficient
The application requires signal handlers, such as SIGPIPE and SIGUSR1, for signals
that cause the application to end. The application then receives the return code
from the API. For example, to ignore SIGPIPE add the following instruction in
your application: signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN). After this information is added,
instead of the application exiting on a broken pipe, the proper return code is
returned.
The dsmQueryCliOptions function can be called only before the dsmInitExcall. The
function returns the values of important options, such as option files, compression
settings, and communication parameters. The dsmInitEx call sets up a session with
the server as indicated in the parameters that are passed in the call or defined in
the options files.
The client node name, the owner name, and the password parameters are passed
to the dsmInitEx call. The owner name is case-sensitive, but the node name and
password are not. The application client nodes must be registered with the server
before a session starts.
Each time an API application client starts a session with the server, the client
application type is registered with the server. Always specify an operating system
abbreviation for the application type value because this value is entered in the
platform field on the server. The maximum string length is
DSM_MAX_PLATFORM_LENGTH.
The dsmInitEx function call establishes the Tivoli Storage Manager session with the
API configuration file and option list of the application client. The application
client can use the API configuration file and option list to set a number of Tivoli
Storage Manager options. These values override the values that are set in the user
configuration files during installation. Users cannot change the options that the
Tivoli Storage Manager administrator defines. If the application client does not
have a specific configuration file and option list, you can set both of these
parameters to NULL. For more information about configuration files, see the
following topic:
The dsmInitEx function call establishes the Tivoli Storage Manager session, by
using parameters that permit extended verification.
Check the dsmInitEx function call and the dsmInitExOut information return code.
The Tivoli Storage Manager administrator canceled the last session if the return
code is okay (RC=ok) and the information return code (infoRC) is
DSM_RC_REJECT_LASTSESS_CANCELED. To end the current session
immediately, call dsmTerminate.
End sessions with a dsmTerminate call. Any connection with the server is closed
and all resources that are associated with this session are freed.
For an example of starting and ending a session, see the following topic:
Figure 2 on page 20
The example defines a number of global and local variables that are used in calls
to dsmInitEx and dsmTerminate. The dsmInitEx call takes a pointer to dsmHandle as
a parameter, while the dsmTerminate call takes the dsmHandle as a parameter. The
example in Figure 3 on page 20 displays the details of rcApiOut. The function
rcApiOut calls the API function dsmRCMsg, which translates a return code into a
message. The rcApiOut call then prints the message for the user. A version of
rcApiOut is included in the API sample application. The dsmApiVersion function is
a type definition that is found in the header file dsmapitd.h.
Session security
Tivoli Storage Manager, a session-based system, has security components that
permit applications to start sessions in a secure manner. These security measures
prohibit unauthorized access to the server and help to insure system integrity.
Every session that is started with the server must complete a sign-on process,
requires a password. When the password is coupled with the node name of the
client, it insures proper authorization when connecting to the server. The
application client provides this password to the API to start the session.
Passwords have expiration times associated with them. If a dsmInitEx call fails
with a password-expired return code (DSM_RC_REJECT_VERIFIER_EXPIRED), the
application client must enter the dsmChangePW call using the handle that is returned
by dsmInitEx. This updates the password before the session can be established
successfully. The example in Figure 4 on page 21 demonstrates the procedure to
change a password by using dsmChangePW. The login owner must be root or Tivoli
Storage Manager-Authorized to change the password.
Note:
1. If two different physical machines have the same Tivoli Storage Manager node
name or multiple paths are defined on one node using several server stanzas,
passwordaccess=generate might only work for the stanza which is used first
after password expiration. During the first client-server contact, the user is
prompted for the same password for each server stanza separately, and for each
An application can restrict user access by other means, such as setting access
filters.
These values override the IP connection information, but the session still uses the
same dsm.sys stanza node and password information.
printf("Doing signon for node %s, owner %s, with password %s\n", node,owner,pw);
initIn.stVersion = dsmInitExInVersion;
initIn.dsmApiVersionP = &apiApplVer
initIn.clientNodeNameP = node;
initIn.clientOwnerNameP = owner ;
initIn.clientPasswordP = pw;
initIn.applicationTypeP = "Sample-API AIX";
initIn.configfile = confFile;
initIn.options = options;
initIn.userNameP = userName;
initIn.userPasswordP = userNamePswd;
rc = dsmInitEx(&dsmHandle, &initIn, &initOut);
if (rc == DSM_RC_REJECT_VERIFIER_EXPIRED)
{
printf("*** Password expired. Select Change Password.\n");
return(rc);
}
else if (rc)
{
printf("*** Init failed: ");
rcApiOut(dsmHandle, rc); /* Call function to print error message */
dsmTerminate(dsmHandle); /* clean up memory blocks */
return(rc);
}
rc = dsmChangePW(dsmHandle,current_pw,new_pw1);
if (rc)
{
printf("*** Password change failed. Rc =
}
else
{
printf("*** Your new password has been accepted and updated.\n");
}
return 0;
Restriction: For version 3.1.6 through version 4.1.2, when you are running in a
multithreaded mode and the passwordaccess is set to generate, only the root, or
TSM-Authorized user, is permitted access. The TCA child process does not start.
Complete the following steps when you set the passwordaccess to generate
without the TCA:
1. Write the application with a call to dsmSetUp which passes argv[0]. The argv[0]
contains the name of the application that calls the API. The application is
permitted to run a TSM-Authorized user; however, the Tivoli Storage Manager
administrator must decide on the login name for the TSM-Authorized user.
2. Set the effective user ID bit (S bit) for the application executable to On. The
owner of the application executable file can then become a TSM-Authorized
user and can create a password file, update passwords, and run applications.
The owner of the application executable file must be the same as the user ID
that runs the program. In the following example, User is user1, the name of the
application executable file is applA, and user1 has read/write permissions on
the /home/user1 directory. The applA executable file has the following
permissions:
-rwsr-xr-x user1 group1 applA
3. Instruct the users of the application to use the TSM-Authorized name to log in.
Tivoli Storage Manager verifies that the login ID matches the application
executable owner before it permits access to the protected password file.
4. Set the passworddir option in the dsm.sys file to point to a directory where this
user has read/write access. For example, enter the following line in the server
stanza of the dsm.sys file:
passworddir /home/user1
5. Create the password file and ensure that the TSM -Authorized user owns the
file.
6. Log on as user1 and run app1A.
7. Call dsmSetUp and pass in argv.
Where:
v admin_name is the administrative user name.
v password is the admin password.
2. Define the authority level. Users with system or policy authority also have
client owner authority.
Grant Authority admin_name classes authority node
Where:
v admin_name is the administrative user.
v classes is the node.
v authority has one of the following levels of authority:
– owner: full backup and restore authority for the node
– node: single node
– domain: group of nodes
3. Define access to a single node.
Register Node node_name password userid
Where:
v node_name is the client user node
v password is the client user node password
v userid is the administrative user name
When the application uses the administrative user, the dsmInitEx function is called
with the userName and userNamePswd parameters.
dsmInitEx
clientNodeName = NULL
clientOwnerName = NULL
clientPassword = NULL
userName = ’administrative user’ name
userNamePswd = ’administrative user’ password
You can set the passwordaccess option to generate or prompt. With either
parameter, the userNamePswd value starts the session. When the session starts, any
backup or restore process can occur for that node.
To meet this requirement Tivoli Storage Manager has two main storage areas,
database and data storage.
v The database contains all metadata, such as the name or attributes associated
with objects.
v The data storage contains the object data. The data storage is actually a storage
hierarchy that the system administrator defines. Data are efficiently stored and
managed on either online or offline media, depending on cost and access needs.
Each object that is stored on the server has a name associated with it. The client
controls the following key components of that name:
v File space name
v High-level name
v Low-level name
v Object type
When making decisions about naming objects for an application, you might need
to use an external name for the full object names to the end user. Specifically, the
end user might need to specify the object in an Include or Exclude statement when
the application is run. The exact syntax of the object name in these statements is
platform-dependent. On the Windows operating system, the drive letter associated
with the file space rather than the file space name itself is used in the Include or
Exclude statement.
The object ID value that was assigned when you created the object might not be
the same as when you perform a restore process. Applications should save the
object name and then query to obtain the current object ID before doing a restore.
Tivoli Storage Manager uses the file space to identify the file system or disk drive
on which the data are located. In this way, actions can be performed on all entities
within a file space, such as querying all objects within a specified file space.
Because the file space is such an important component of the Tivoli Storage
Manager naming convention, Tivoli Storage Manager has special calls to register,
update, query, and delete file spaces.
The server also has administrative commands to query the file spaces on any node
in Tivoli Storage Manager storage, and delete them if necessary. All data stored by
the application client must have a file space name associated with it. Select the
name carefully to group similar data together in the system.
Note: On Windows platforms, a drive letter is associated with a file space. When
you register or update a file space, you must supply the drive letter. Because the
include-exclude list refers to the drive letter, you must keep track of each letter and
its associated file space. In the sample program dapismp, the drive letter is set to
"G" by default.
See Chapter 2, “Building and running the sample API application,” on page 5 for
more information on the sample programs.
When the file space name, high-level name, and low-level name are concatenated,
they must form a syntactically correct name on the operating system on which the
client runs. It is not necessary for the name to exist as an object on the system or
resemble the actual data on the local file system. However, the name must meet
the standard naming rules to be properly processed by the dsmBindMC calls. See
“Understanding backup and archive objects” on page 41 for naming considerations
that are related to policy management.
Object type
The object type identifies the object as either a file or a directory. A file is an object
that contains both attributes and binary data, and a directory is an object that
contains only attributes.
Table 8 shows what the application client would code is for object names by
platform.
Table 8. Application object name examples by platform
Platform Client code for object name
UNIX or Linux /myfs/highlev/lowlev
Windows "myvol\\highlev\\lowlev"
Note: On a Windows platform, a double backslash translates into a
single backslash, because a backslash is the escape character. File space
names start with a slash on the UNIX or Linux platform, but do not
start with a slash on the Windows platform.
The session owner is set during the call to dsmInitEx in the clientOwnerNameP
parameter. If you start a session with dsmInitEx owner name of NULL and you use
passwordaccess=prompt, that session owner is handled with session (root or
TSM-Authorized) authority. This is also true if you log in with a root ID or TSM
authorized ID and you use passwordaccess= generate. During a session started in
this manner, you can perform any action on any object that is owned by this node
regardless of the actual owner of that object.
If a session is started with a specific owner name, the session can only perform
actions on objects that have that object owner name associated with them. Backups
or archives into the system all must have this owner name associated with them.
Any queries performed return only the values that have this owner name
associated with them. The object owner value is set during the dsmSendObj call in
the Owner field of the ObjAttr structure. An owner name is case-sensitive. Table 9
summarizes the conditions under which a user has access to an object.
Table 9. Summary of user access to objects
Session owner Object owner User access
NULL (root, system owner) “ ” (empty string) Yes
NULL Specific name Yes
Specific name “ ” (empty string) No
Specific name Same name Yes
Specific name Different name No
For example, User A on node A uses the dsmSetAccess function call to give access
to its backups under the /db file space to User B from Node B. The access rule is
displayed as:
These options are set for this session. Any queries access the file spaces, and files
of Node A. Backups and archives are not permitted. Only query, restore, and
retrieve processes are permitted from the file spaces for which User B has access. If
the application tries to execute any operation using a dsmBeginTxn (for examples,
backup or update) while signed in with a -fromnode or -fromowner option set, then
Note: On UNIX and Linux you can specify –fromowner=root in the option string
that is passed on the dsmInitEx function call. This permits non-root users access to
files that the root owns if a set access was performed.
Use the asnodename option on the dsmInitEx option string with the appropriate
function to back up, archive, restore, retrieve, query or delete data under the target
node name on the Tivoli Storage Manager server. See “Backing up multiple nodes
with client node proxy support” on page 78 for information on enabling this
option.
Use the dsmRegisterFS call to accomplish this task. For more information about
object names and IDs, see “Object names and IDs” on page 23.
The file space identifier is the top-level qualifier in a three-part name hierarchy.
Grouping related data together within a file space makes management of that data
much easier. For example, either the application client or the Tivoli Storage
Manager server administrator can delete a file space and all the objects within that
file space.
File spaces also permit the application client to provide information about the file
space to the server that the Tivoli Storage Manager administrator can then query.
This information is returned on the query in the qryRespFSData structure and
includes the following file system information:
Type Definition
fstype The file space type. This field is a character string that the
application client sets.
fsAttr[platform].fsInfo A client information field that is used for client-specific data.
capacity The total amount of space in the file space.
occupancy The amount of space that is currently occupied in the file space.
backStartDate The time stamp when the latest backup started (set by sending a
dsmUpdateFS call).
backCompleteDate The time stamp when the latest backup completed (set by
sending a dsmUpdateFS call).
Using capacity and occupancy depends on the application client. Some applications
might not need information about the size of the file space, in which case these
fields can default to 0. For more information about querying file spaces, see
“Querying the Tivoli Storage Manager system” on page 33.
After a file space is registered with the system, you can back up or archive objects
at any time. To update the occupancy and the capacity fields of the file space after
If you want to monitor your last backup dates, enter a dsmUpdateFS call before you
start the backup. Set the update action to DSM_FSUPD_BACKSTARTDATE. This
forces the server to set the backStartDate field of the file space to the current time.
After the backup is complete for that file space, enter a dsmUpdateFS call with the
update action that is set to DSM_FSUPD_BACKCOMPLETEDATE. This call creates
a time stamp on the end of the backup.
If a file space is no longer needed, you can delete it with the dsmDeleteFS
command. On the UNIX or Linux platform, only the root user or TSM-authorized
user can delete file spaces.
The examples in Figure 5 demonstrate how to use the three file space calls for
UNIX or Linux. For an example of how to use the three file space calls for
Windows, see the sample program code that is installed on your system.

Management classes consist of both backup copy groups and archive copy groups.
A copy group is a set of attributes that define the management policies for an
object that is being backed up or archived. If a backup operation is being
performed, the attributes in the backup copy group apply. If an archive operation
is being performed, the attributes in the archive copy group apply.
The backup or archive copy group in a particular management class can be empty
or NULL. If an object is bound to the NULL backup copy group, that object cannot be
backed up. If an object is bound to the NULL archive copy group, the object cannot
be archived.
The API requires that dsmBindMC is called before you back up or archive an object.
The dsmBindMC call returns a mcBindKey structure that contains information on
management class and copy groups that are associated with the object. Check the
copy group destination before proceeding with a send. When you send multiple
objects in a single transaction, they must have the same copy group destination.
The dsmBindMC function call returns the following information:
Table 10. Information returned on the dsmBindMC call
Information Description
Management Class The name of the management class that was bound to the object. The application client can
send the dsmBeginQuery call to determine all attributes of this management class.
Backup Copy Group Informs you if a backup copy group exists for this management class. If a backup
operation is being performed and a backup copy group does not exist, this object cannot
be sent to Tivoli Storage Manager storage. You receive an error code if you attempted to
send it using the dsmSendObj call.
Backup Copy This field identifies the Tivoli Storage Manager storage pool to which the data is sent. If
Destination you are performing a multiple object backup transaction, all copy destinations within that
transaction must be the same. If an object has a different copy destination than previous
objects in the transaction, end the current transaction and begin a new transaction before
you can send the object. You receive an error code if you attempt to send objects to
different copy destinations within the same transaction.
Archive Copy Group Informs you if an archive copy group exists for this management class. If an archive
operation is being performed and an archive copy group does not exist, this object cannot
be sent to Tivoli Storage Manager storage. You receive an error code if you attempted to
send it using the dsmSendObj call.
Archive Copy This field identifies the Tivoli Storage Manager storage pool to which the data are sent. If
Destination you are performing a multiple object archive transaction, all copy destinations within that
transaction must be the same. If an object has a different copy destination than previous
objects in the transaction, end the current transaction and begin a new transaction before
you send the object. You receive an error code if you attempt to send objects to different
copy destinations within the same transaction.
You can also rebind backup copies to a different management class using the
dsmUpdateObj or dsmUpdateObjEx call with the DSM_BACKUPD_MC action.
You can only bind objects to management classes by using the dsmBindMC call. You
might want your applications to query the management class attributes and
display them to end users. See “Querying the Tivoli Storage Manager system” on
page 33 for more information.

Restrictions:
1. You cannot issue more than one dsmRetentionEvent call in a single transaction.
2. You cannot issue a hold on an object that is already under hold.
Restriction: You can issue only one dsmRetentionEvent call per transaction.
6. Query the objects to confirm that the retention is activated. If retention is
initiated, the retentionInitiated field in the qryRespArchiveData structure has
a value of I.
All queries that use the dsmBeginQuery call follow these steps:
1. Send the dsmBeginQuery call with the appropriate query type:
v Backup
v Archive
v Active backed-up objects
v File space
v Management class
The dsmBeginQuery call informs the API of the data format that is returned from
the server. The appropriate fields can be placed in the data structures that are
passed by the dsmGetNextQObj calls. The begin query call also permits the
application client to set the scope of the query by properly specifying the
parameters on the begin query call.
Restriction: On UNIX or Linux systems, only the root user can query active
backed-up objects. This query type is known as "fast path".
2. Enter the dsmGetNextQObj call to obtain each record from the query. This call
passes a buffer that is large enough to hold the data that is returned from the
query. Each query type has a corresponding data structure for the data
returned. For example, a backup query type has an associated
qryRespBackupData structure that is populated when the dsmGetNextQObj call is
sent.
3. The dsmGetNextQObj call usually returns one of the following codes:
v DSM_RC_MORE_DATA: Send the dsmGetNextQObj call again.
v DSM_RC_FINISHED: There is no more data. Send the dsmEndQuery call.
4. Send the dsmEndQuery call. When all query data are retrieved or more query
data are not needed, enter the dsmEndQuery call to end the query process. The
API flushes any remaining data from the query stream and releases any
resources that were used for the query.

Server efficiency
Use these guidelines when you retrieve from, or send objects to, the Tivoli Storage
Manager server.
v When you retrieve objects from the Tivoli Storage Manager server, follow these
guidelines:
Note: You can either back up or archive data. Perform all send operations within a
transaction.
Transactions can consist of either single object sends or multiple object sends. To
improve system performance by decreasing system overhead, send smaller objects
in a multiple object transaction. The application client determines whether single or
multiple transactions are appropriate.
Send all objects within a multiple object transaction to the same copy destination.
If you need to send an object to a different destination than the previous object,
end the current transaction and start a new one. Within the new transaction, you
can send the object to the new copy destination.
Note: Objects that do not contain any bit data ( sizeEstimate=0 ) are not checked
for copy destination consistency.
The application client must keep track of the objects sent within a transaction to
perform retry processing or error processing if the transaction ends prematurely.
Either the server or the client can stop a transaction at any time. The application
client must be prepared to handle sudden transaction ends that it did not start.
File aggregation
Tivoli Storage Manager servers use a function that is called file aggregation. With
file aggregation, all objects sent in a single transaction are stored together, which
saves space and improves performance. You can still query and restore the objects
separately.
To use this function, all of the objects in a transaction should have the same file
space name. If the file space name changes within a transaction, the server closes
the existing aggregated object and begins a new one.
You can use LAN-free operations on platforms that are supported by the storage
agent. Macintosh platform is excluded.
For more information about LAN-free data transfer, see the IBM Tivoli Storage
Manager for Storage Area Networks User's Guide.
Simultaneous-write operations
You can configure Tivoli Storage Manager server storage pools to write
simultaneously to a primary storage pool and copy storage pool or pools during a
backup or archive. Use this configuration to create multiple copies of the object.
Table 11 describes the actions that you can take to enhance the API performance.
Table 11. Backup-archive options and the API parameter that enhance performance
Backup-archive
client options Description
tcpbuffsize Specifies the size of the TCP buffer. The default value is 31 KB. To
enhance performance, set the value to 32 KB.
tcpnodelay Specifies whether to send small buffers to the server rather than
holding them. To enhance performance, set this option to yes for all
platforms. This option is valid for Windows and AIX only.
API parameter Description
DataBlk This parameter is used with the dsmSendData function call to
determine the application buffer size. For best results, set the
parameter as a multiple of the tcpbuffsize value that is specified
with the tcpbuffsize minus 4 bytes. For example, set a value of 28
for this parameter when the value of tcpbuffsize is set to 32 KB.
Each dsmSendData call is synchronous and does not return until the data
transferred to the API in the dataBlkPtr is flushed to the network. The API adds a
4-byte overhead to each transaction buffer that is placed on the network.
For example, when the transaction buffer size is 32 KB and the application DataBlk
buffer size is 31 KB, then each application DataBlk buffer fits in a communications
buffer and can be flushed immediately. However, if the application DataBlk buffer
is exactly 32 KB, and because the API is adding 4 bytes per transaction buffer, two
flushes are required; one of 32 KB and one of 4 bytes. Also, if you set the
tcpnodelay option to no, flushing the 4 bytes might take up to 200 milliseconds.
With performance monitoring enabled, you can display performance data that is
collected by the API by using the performance monitor; the performance monitor is
available in the Tivoli Storage Manager Administration Center. Starting with Tivoli
Storage Manager Version 7.1, the Administration Center component is no longer
included in Tivoli Storage Manager distributions. If you have an Administration
Center that was installed with a previous server release, you can continue to use it
to display performance data. If you do not already have an Administration Center
installed, you can download the previously-released version from
ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/
admincenter/v6r3/LATEST. For information about using the performance monitor,
see the Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.3 server documentation.
When you monitor performance on UNIX and Linux computers, set the open file
descriptor limit to at least 1024, by using the following command:
ulimit -n 1024
To configure the client performance monitor options, complete the following steps:
1. Open the client options file for each client that you are monitoring. Depending
on your configuration, the client options are in one of the following files:
v dsm.opt
v dsm.sys
2. Add the following options to the client options file:
PERFMONTCPSERVERADDRESS
PERFMONTCPPORT
PERFMONCOMMTIMEOUT
PERFMONTCPSERVERADDRESS
The PERFMONTCPSERVERADDRESS option specifies the host name or IP address
of the system where the client performance monitor is installed.

The size estimate attribute is an estimate of the total size of the data object to send
to the server. If the application does not know the exact object size, set the
sizeEstimate to a higher estimate. If the estimate is smaller than the actual size,
the Tivoli Storage Manager server uses extra resources to manage extra space
allocations.
Important:
v Be as accurate as is possible when you make this size estimate. The Tivoli
Storage Manager server uses this attribute for efficient space allocation and
object placement within its storage resources.
v If the estimate is smaller than the actual size, a Tivoli Storage Manager server
with caching does not allocate extra space and stops the send.
You might encounter problems if the sizeEstimate is much too large. The Tivoli
Storage Manager server might not have enough space for the estimated size but
does have space for the actual size; or the server might use slower devices.
You can back up or archive objects that are larger than two gigabytes in size. The
objects can be either compressed or uncompressed.
To start a send operation, call dsmSendObj. If you have more data than you can
send at one time, you can make repeated calls to dsmSendData to transfer the
remainder of the information. Call dsmEndSendObj to complete the send operation.
Any object backed up to the server that has the same name as an object that is
already stored on the server from that client is subject to version control. Objects
are considered to be in active or inactive states on the server. The latest copy of an
object on the server that has not been deactivated is in the active state. Any other
object with the same name, whether it is an older version or a deactivated copy, is
considered inactive. Management class constructs define different management
criteria. They are assigned to active and inactive objects on the server.
Table 12 on page 42 lists the copy group fields that apply to active and inactive
states:
If backup versions each have a unique name, such as using a time stamp in the
name, then versioning does not happen automatically: every object is active. Active
objects never expire, so an application would be responsible for deactivating these
with the dsmDeleteObj call. In this situation, the application would need the
deactivated objects to expire as soon as possible. The user would define a backup
copy group with VERDELETED=0 and RETONLY=0.
The archive component of the Tivoli Storage Manager system permits objects to be
stored on the server with retention or expiration period controls instead of version
control. Each object stored is unique, even though its name might be the same as
an object already archived. Archive objects have a description field associated with
the metadata that can be used during query to identify a specific object.
Every object on a Tivoli Storage Manager server is assigned a unique object ID.
The persistence of the original value is not guaranteed during the life of an object
(specifically, after an export or import). Therefore, an application should not query
and save the original object ID for use on later restores. Rather, an application
should save the object name and insert date. You can use this information during a
restore to query objects and verify the insert date. Then, the current object ID can
be used to restore the object.
Compression
Configuration options on a given node and the dsmSendObj objCompressed option,
determine whether Tivoli Storage Manager compresses the object during a send.
Also, objects with a sizeEstimate less than DSM_MIN_COMPRESS_SIZE are never
compressed.
The Tivoli Storage Manager server administrator can affect compression behavior
with the register node command (compression=yes, no, or client-determined). If
this is client-determined, then the compression behavior is determined by the
compression option value in the configuration sources.
Some types of data, such as data that is already compressed, might actually get
bigger when processed with the compression algorithm. When this happens, the
return code DSM_RC_COMPRESS_GREW is generated. If you realize that this
might happen, but you want the send operation to continue anyway, tell the end
users to specify the following option in their options file:
COMPRESSAlways Yes
Attention: If your application plans to use partial object restore or retrieve, you
cannot compress the data while sending it. To enforce this, set the dsmSendObj
ObjAttr.objCompressed to bTrue.
The buffers for data movement are allocated by Tivoli Storage Manager and a
pointer is passed back to the application. The application places the data in the
provided buffer, and that buffer is passed through the communication layers to the
storage agent by using shared memory. The data is then moved to the tape device,
which eliminates copies of data. This function can be used with either backup or
archive operations.
Attention: When you use this method, pay extra attention to proper buffer
handling and sizes of buffers. The buffers are shared between the components and
any memory overwrite that is a result of a programming error results in severe
errors.
The dsmRequestBuffer function can be called multiple times, up to the value that is
specified by the numTsmBuffers option. An application can have two threads: a
producer thread that fills buffers with data; and a consumer thread that sends
those buffers to Tivoli Storage Manager with the dsmSendBufferData call. When a
dsmRequestBuffer call is issued and the numTsmBuffers is reached, the
dsmRequestBuffer call blocks until a buffer is released. The buffer release can
happen by either calling dsmSendBufferData, which sends and releases a buffer or
by calling dsmReleaseBuffer. For more information, see callbuff.c in the API
sample directory.
If an application calls dsmTerminate and a buffer is still held, the API does not exit.
The following code is returned: DSM_RC_CANNOT_EXIT_MUST_RELEASE_BUFFER. If the
application cannot release the buffer, the application must exit the process to force
a cleanup.
The maximum amount of data in a single buffer returned by the Tivoli Storage
Manager server is (256K bytes – header overhead). As a consequence, only
applications that deal with small buffer writes benefit from this data retrieval
mechanism. The application must give special attention to the number of bytes in
the buffer, depending on the object size, the network, and other boundary
conditions. In some situations, the use of buffer copy elimination can actually
perform worse than the normal restore. The API normally caches the data and
returns a fixed length to the application. The application can then control the
number of data writes back to the disk.
If you use buffer copy elimination, create a data-caching mechanism for buffers
that are less than the preferred write buffer size. For example, if an application
writes 64K data blocks to disk, the application must
1. Call dsmGetBufferData.
2. Write out blocks of 64K.
3. On the final block, copy the remainder to a tempBuff, issue another
dsmGetBufferData call, and fill the tempBuff with the rest of the data.
4. Continue writing blocks of 64K:
dsmGetBufferData #1 get 226K dsmGetBufferData #2 get 240K
Block1 64K - write to disk Block1 30K - copy to tempbuff-write to disk
Block2 64K - write to disk Block2 64K - write to disk
Block3 64K - write to disk Block3 64K - write to disk
Block4 34K - copy to tempbuff Block4 64K - write to disk
Block5 18K - write to tempbuff etc
Restriction: Because the API provides the buffer and the goal is to minimize CPU
utilization, more processing of the data in the buffer is not permitted. The
application cannot use encryption and compression with buffer copy elimination
because both of these operations require data processing and copies.
Tip: Implement both the regular data movement path and the buffer copy
elimination to enable the user to switch between both paths, based on their needs.
If the user must compress or encrypt data, then use the existing mechanism. If
there is a CPU constraint, then use the new mechanism. Both of these mechanisms
are complementary and do not completely replace each other.
API encryption
Two methods are available to encrypt data: application-managed encryption and
Tivoli Storage Manager client encryption.
Select and use only one of these methods to encrypt data. The methods are
mutually exclusive and if you encrypt data by using both methods, you will be
unable to restore or retrieve some data. For example, assume that an application
uses application-managed encryption to encrypt object A, and then uses Tivoli
Storage Manager client encryption to encrypt object B. During a restore operation,
if the application sets the option to use Tivoli Storage Manager client encryption
and it tries to restore both objects, only object B can be restored; object A cannot be
restored because it was encrypted by the application, not by the client.
Regardless of the encryption method that is used, the Tivoli Storage Manager must
enable password authentication. By default, the server uses SET AUTHENTICATION
ON.
| The API uses either AES 128-bit or AES 256-bit encryption. AES 256-bit data
| encryption provides a higher level of data encryption than AES 128-bit data
| encryption. Files that are backed up by using AES 256-bit encryption cannot be
| restored with an earlier client. Encryption can be enabled with or without
| compression. If you use encryption, you cannot use the partial object restore and
| retrieve and buffer copy elimination functions.
Application-managed encryption
With application-managed encryption, the application provides the key password
to the API (using key DSM_ENCRYPT_USER) and it is the application's
responsibility to manage the key password.
Remember: If the encryption key is not saved, and you forgot the key, your data
is unrecoverable.
The application provides the key password in the dsmInitEx call and must provide
the proper key password at restore time.
Note: By default, the encryptkey option is set to prompt. This setting ensures that
the key does not get stored automatically. If encryptkey save is specified, the key is
stored by Tivoli Storage Manager on the local machine but then only one key can
be valid for all Tivoli Storage Manager operations with the same node name.
The following table lists the API encryption types, prerequisites, and functions
available.
Table 13. API encryption types, prerequisites, and functions available
Type Prerequisite Function available
| ENCRYPTIONTYPE None Set the ENCRYPTIONTYPE in the option string that is
| passed to the API in the dsmInitEx call on Windows.
| ENCRYPTIONTYPE=AES128 by default.
EncryptKey=save None API and backup-archive
EncryptKey=prompt None API and backup-archive
EncryptKey=generate None API and backup-archive
EnableClientEncryptKey None API only
Note: It is advised that the server has authentication turned ON. If authentication is
turned OFF, the key is not encrypted, but the data is still encrypted. However, this
is not recommended.
Table 14 on page 47 shows how both Authorized Users and non-Authorized Users
can encrypt or decrypt data during a backup or restore operation, depending on
the value that is specified for the passwordaccess option. The TSM.PWD file must
exist to perform the following authorized-user and non-authorized-user operations.
Data deduplication
Data deduplication is a method of reducing storage needs by eliminating
redundant data.
Overview
Two types of data deduplication are available on Tivoli Storage Manager: client-side
data deduplication and server-side data deduplication.
Enhancements
Note: For applications that use the Tivoli Storage Manager API, the data
deduplication cache must not be used because of the potential for backup
failures caused by the cache being out of sync with the Tivoli Storage Manager
server. If multiple, concurrent Tivoli Storage Manager client sessions are
configured, there must be a separate cache configured for each session.
v Enable both client-side data deduplication and compression to reduce the
amount of data that is stored by the server. Each extent is compressed before it
is sent to the server. The trade-off is between storage savings and the processing
power that is required to compress client data. In general, if you compress and
deduplicate data on the client system, you are using approximately twice as
much processing power as data deduplication alone.
The server can work with deduplicated, compressed data. In addition,
backup-archive clients earlier than V6.2 can restore deduplicated, compressed
data.
Benefits
Client-side data deduplication has a possible disadvantage. The server does not
have whole copies of client files until you back up the primary storage pools that
contain client extents to a non-deduplicated copy storage pool. (Extents are parts of
a file that are created during the data-deduplication process.) During storage pool
backup to a non-deduplicated storage pool, client extents are reassembled into
contiguous files.
By default, primary sequential-access storage pools that are set up for data
deduplication must be backed up to non-deduplicated copy storage pools before
they can be reclaimed and before duplicate data can be removed. The default
ensures that the server has copies of whole files at all times, in either a primary
storage pool or a copy storage pool.
When the client is enabled for client-side data deduplication, and you perform a
backup or archive operation, the data is sent to the server as extents. The next time
a backup or archive operation is performed, the client and server identify which
data extents have already been backed up or archived, and send only the unique
extents of data to the server.
For client-side data deduplication, the Tivoli Storage Manager server and API must
be at Version 6.2 or later.
Before you use client-side data deduplication to back up or archive your files, the
system must meet the following requirements:
v The client must have the deduplication option enabled.
v The server must enable the client for client-side data deduplication with the
DEDUP=CLIENTORSERVER parameter on either the REGISTER NODE or UPDATE NODE
command.
v The storage pool destination for the data must be a data deduplication-enabled
storage pool. The data deduplication-enabled storage pool is file device type
only.
v Ensure that the files are bound to the correct management class.
v A file can be excluded from client-side data deduplication processing. By default,
all files are included.
v Files must be larger than 2 KB.
v The server can limit the maximum transaction size for data deduplication by
setting the CLIENTDEDUPTXNLIMIT option on the server. See the Administrator's
Guide for details.
If any of these requirements are not met, data is processed normally, with no
client-side data deduplication.
Important:
1. In any transaction, all files must be either included for data deduplication or
excluded. If the transaction has mixed files, the transaction fails, and a return
code of DSM_RC_NEEDTO_ENDTXN is returned by the API.
2. Use storage device encryption together with client-side data deduplication.
Because SSL is used in combination with client-side deduplication, there is
no need for client encryption.
v The following functions are not available for client-side data deduplication:
– Hierarchical Storage Manager (HSM) client
– API shared buffer
– NAS
– Subfile backup
v Buffer copy elimination cannot be used with data transformations like
compression, encryption, and data deduplication.
v If you use client-side deduplication, the API detects and fails (with RC=254)
backups of file extents that are marked as expired on the server during sending
data to the server. If you want to retry the operation, you need to include that
programming in the calling application.
v Simultaneous-write operations on the server takes precedence over client-side
data deduplication. If simultaneous-write operations are enabled, client-side data
deduplication does not occur.
Important: When client side data deduplication is enabled, the API cannot
recover from a state where the server has run out of storage on the destination
pool, even if there is a next pool defined. A stop reason code of
DSM_RS_ABORT_DESTINATION_POOL_CHANGED is returned and the
operation fails. There are two ways to recover from this situation:
1. Ask the Tivoli Storage Manager administrator to add more scratch volumes
to the original filepool.
2. Retry the operation with data deduplication disabled.
For even greater bandwidth savings, you can enable a local cache for data
deduplication. The local cache saves queries from going to the Tivoli Storage
Manager server. The default value for ENABLEDEDUPCACHE is NO, so that the
cache is not out of sync with the server. If the cache is out of sync with the server,
the application resends all data. If your application can retry on a failed
transaction, and you want to use the local cache, set the ENABLEDEDUPCACHE
option to YES in the dsm.opt (Windows) or dsm.sys (UNIX) file.
At the end of a restore, if all of the data was restored through the API, and the
object was deduplicated by the client, an end-to-end digest is calculated and
compared to the value calculated at backup time. If those values do not match,
To refine the list of files to be included, the include.dedup option can be used in
combination with the exclude.dedup option.
include.dedup /FS1/archive/*
include.dedup E:\myfiles\archive\*
The Tivoli Storage Manager administrator can specify the data deduplication
location (client or server) to use with the DEDUP parameter on the REGISTER NODE or
UPDATE NODE server command.
In a data deduplication-enabled storage pool (file pool), only one instance of a data
extent is retained. Other instances of the same data extent are replaced with a
pointer to the retained instance.
For more information about server-side data deduplication, see the Tivoli Storage
Manager Administrator's Guide.
The Tivoli Storage Manager server that the client and API connects to during
normal production processes is called the primary server. When the primary server
is set up for node replication, that server is also known as the source replication
server. The client node data on the source replication server can be replicated to the
target replication server. This server is also known as the secondary server, and is the
server that the client automatically fails over to when the primary server fails.
The client and API must be configured for automated client failover, and must
connect to a Tivoli Storage Manager V7.1 server that replicates client node data.
The configuration for the API is the same as the configuration for the
backup-archive client.
Each time the client application logs on to the Tivoli Storage Manager server, it
attempts to contact the primary server. If the primary server is unavailable, the
application automatically fails over to the secondary server by using the secondary
server information in the client options file. In failover mode, the application can
query the secondary server and restore or retrieve replicated data.
You must back up the application at least one time to the primary server. The API
can fail over to the secondary server to recover data only if the data from the client
node was replicated from the primary server to the secondary server.
For more information about automated client failover, see "Automated client
failover configuration and use" in IBM Knowledge Center at: (http://
www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.1/com.ibm.itsm.client.doc/
c_cfg_autoclientfailover.html).
The replication status indicates whether the most recent backup was replicated to
the secondary server. If the time stamp of the most recent backup operation on the
API matches the time stamp of the backup on the secondary server, the replication
status is current. If the two time stamps do not match, the replication status is not
current and the replicated data might be out-of-date.
See Appendix B, “API type definitions source files,” on page 155 for the structure
and type definitions of the API.
The DSM_RC_SIGNON_FAILOVER_MODE return code indicates that the client and API
failed over to the secondary server, and is running in failover mode.

For example, you cannot make a dsmSendObj call unless a transaction was started
and a dsmBindMC call was previously made for the object that you are backing up.
Figure 12 displays the state diagram for performing backup or archive operations
within a transaction. The arrow pointing from “In Send Object” to dsmEndTxn
indicates that a dsmEndTxn call can be started after a call to dsmSendObj or
dsmSendData. You might want to do this if an error condition occurred during the
send of an object and you want to stop the entire operation. In this case, you must
use a vote of DSM_VOTE_ABORT. In normal circumstances, however, call
dsmEndSendObj before you end the transaction.

dsmSendData
The primary feature in these two diagrams is the loop between the following API
calls from within a transaction:
v dsmBindMC
v dsmSendObj
v dsmSendData
v dsmEndSendObj
The dsmBindMC call is unique in that you can start it from inside or outside of a
transaction boundary. You can also start it from a different transaction, if required.
The only requirement for the dsmBindMC call is that it is made prior to backing up
or archiving an object. If the object that you are backing up or archiving is not
associated with a management class, an error code is returned from dsmSendObj. In
this situation, the transaction is ended by calling dsmEndTxn (this error condition is
not shown in the flowchart).
The dsmSendData call is called from inside a loop that repeatedly sends data until a
flag is set that permits the program execution to exit the loop. The entire send
operation is performed from within the transaction.
The third parameter on the dsmSendObj call is a buffer that contains the archive
description. Because backup objects do not have a description, this parameter is
NULL when backing up an object.
Figure 8 on page 30 displays an example that shows the use of the dsmBindMC
function call.
File grouping
The Tivoli Storage Manager API has a logical file grouping protocol that relates
several individual objects together. You can reference and manage these groups as
a logical group on the server. A logical group requires that all group members and
the group leader belong to the same node and file space on the server.
File groups contain backup data only, and cannot contain archive data. Archive
objects can use the Archive Description field to facilitate a type of grouping if
required by an application.
The out structure in dsmEndTxnEx includes a new field, groupLeaderObjId. This field
contains the object ID of the group leader if a group was opened in that
transaction. You can create a group across more than one transaction. A group is
not committed, or saved, on the server until a close is performed. The
dsmGroupHandler is an interface that can accept five different operations. They
include:
v DSM_GROUP_ACTION_OPEN
v DSM_GROUP_ACTION_CLOSE
v DSM_GROUP_ACTION_ADD
v DSM_GROUP_ACTION_ASSIGNTO
v DSM_GROUP_ACTION_REMOVE
The qtBackupGroups queries groups that are closed while qtOpenGroups queries
groups that are open. The query buffer for the new types has fields for
groupLeaderObjId and objType. The query performs differently depending on the
values for these two fields. The following table includes some query possibilities:
Table 17. Examples of queries
groupLeaderObjId.hi groupLeaderObjId.lo objType Result
0 0 NULL Returns a list of all group leaders
grpLdrObjId.hi grpLdrObjId.lo 0 Returns a list for all group members that are assigned
to the specified group leader (grpLdrObjId).
grpLdrObjId.hi grpLdrObjId.lo objType Returns a list by using BackQryRespEnhanced3, for each
group member that is assigned to the specified group
leader (grpLdrObjId), and matching the object type
(objType).
These fields are Boolean flags. The following example displays the creation of the
group, adding members to the group, and closing the group to commit the group
on the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
For a code example, see the sample group program dsmgrp.c that is included in
the API sampsrc directory.
Note: The API can only restore or retrieve objects that were backed up or archived
using API calls.
Both restore and retrieve functions start with a query operation. The query returns
different information depending on whether the data was originally backed up or
archived. For instance, a query on backup objects returns information on whether
an object is active or inactive, while a query on archive objects returns information
such as object descriptions. Both queries return object IDs that Tivoli Storage
Manager uses to uniquely identify the object on the server.
Note: If you code your application to use a partial object restore or retrieve, you
cannot compress the data while sending it. To enforce this, set
ObjAttr.objCompressed to bTrue.
To perform a partial object restore or retrieve, associate the following two data
fields with each object GetList entry:
offset The byte offset into the object from which to begin returning data.
The following data fields, used on the dsmBeginGetData call, determine what
portion of the object is restored or retrieved:
v If both the offset and length are zero, the entire object is restored or retrieved
from Tivoli Storage Manager storage.
v If the offset is greater than zero, but the length is zero, the object is restored or
retrieved from the offset to the end.
v If the length is greater than zero, only the portion of the object from the offset
for the specified length is restored or retrieved.
To send the query, the application must enter the parameter lists and structures for
the dsmBeginQuery call. The structure must include the file space that the query
examines and pattern-match entries for the high-level and low-level name fields. If
the session was initialized with a NULL owner name, you do not need to specify
the owner field. However, if the session was initialized with an explicit owner
name, only objects that are associated with that owner name are returned.
A query returns all information that is stored with the object, in addition to the
information in the following table.
You must keep some or all of the query information for later processing. Keep the
copyId and restoreOrderExt fields because they are needed for the actual restore
operation. You must also keep any other information needed to open a data file or
identify a destination.
Then you sort the objects in ascending order (low to high). This sorting is very
important to the performance of the restore operation. Sorting the objects on the
restoreOrderExt fields ensures that the data is read from the server in the most
efficient order.
All data on disk is restored first, followed by data on media classes that require
volume mounts (such as tape). The restoreOrderExt field also ensures that data on
tape is read in order with processing starting at the front of a tape and progressing
towards the end.
Properly sorting on the restoreOrderExt field means that duplicate tape mounts
and unnecessary tape rewinds do not occur.
The following example shows how to sort objects by using Restore Order fields.
typedef struct {
dsStruct64_t objId;
dsUint160_t restoreOrderExt;

/*****************************************************/
/*-----------------------------------------------------------------+

------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/*----------------------------------------------------------------+
The DSM_RC_MORE_DATA return code means that a buffer was returned and
that you should call dsmGetData again. Check the DataBlk.numBytes for the actual
number of returned bytes.
When you obtain all data for an object, you must send a dsmEndGetObj call. If more
objects will be received, send dsmGetObj again.
If you want to stop the process, for example, to discard any remaining data in the
restore stream for all objects that are not yet received, send the dsmEndGetData call.
This call flushes the data from the server to the client. However, using this method
might take time to complete. If you want to end a restore operation, use
dsmTerminate to close the session.
1. Send the dsmGetObj call to identify the object that you requested from the data
stream and to obtain the first block of data that is associated with the object.
2. Send more dsmGetData calls, as necessary to obtain the remaining object data.
The arrow pointing from “In Get Object” to dsmEndGetData indicates that you can
send a dsmEndGetData call after a call to dsmGetObj or dsmGetData. You might need
to do this if an error condition occurred while getting an object from Tivoli Storage
Manager storage and you want to stop the operation. In normal circumstances,
however, call dsmEndGetObj first.

For an archived object, the application can update the following fields:
v Description
v Object information
v Owner
For a backed-up object, the application can update the following fields:
v Management class
v Object information
v Owner
Use the dsmDeleteObj function call to delete archived objects and turn off backup
objects. Using this delType removes the backup object from the server. This is
based on objID, deletes an object from the server database. Only an owner of an
object can delete it. You can delete any version (active or inactive) of an object. The
server reconciles the versions. If you delete an active version of an object, the first
inactive version becomes active. If you delete an inactive version of an object, all
older versions advance. The node must be registered with backDel permission.
An archived object is marked for deletion in storage when the system performs its
next object expiration cycle. Once you delete an archived object from the server,
you cannot retrieve it.
When you inactivate a backup object at the server, the object moves from an active
state to an inactive state. These states have different retention policies associated
with them that are based on the management class that is assigned.
Similar to the dsmSendObj call, a call to dsmDeleteObj is sent within the boundary
of a transaction. The state diagram in Figure 12 on page 57 displays how a call to
dsmDeleteObj is preceded by a call to dsmBeginTxn and followed by a call to
dsmEndTxn.
Logging events
An API application can log event messages to central locations. The application can
direct logging to the Tivoli Storage Manager server, the local machine, or both. The
dsmLogEventEx function call is performed in a session. To view messages logged on
the server, use the query actlog command through the administrative client.
Use the Tivoli Storage Manager client option, errorlogretention, to prune the
client error log file if the application writes numerous client messages to the client
log dsmLogType, either logLocal or logBoth.
For more information about Tivoli Storage Manager logs, see the Tivoli Storage
Manager Administrator's Reference.
Figure 20 on page 73 contains the state diagram for the API. It contains all
previously displayed state diagrams in addition to several other calls previously
not displayed.
Note: If the dsmInitEx call returns with a password-expired return code, the
dsmChangePW call must be made before you start a valid session. See Figure 4 on
page 21 for an example that uses dsmChangePW.
v If a call returns with an error, the state remains as it was. For example, if
dsmGetObj returns with an error, the state remains In Get Data, and a call to
dsmEndGetObj is a call sequence error.

Notes:
1. There is no interoperability between the backup-archive client and API objects
stored on a retention protection server.
2. You cannot use the backup-archive client GUIs to access files that were stored
using the API client. You can only use the command line to access these files.
For convenience, use the name of the object that is not prefixed with directory
information as the low-level qualifier. For more information, see “Object names
and IDs” on page 23.
File space names must be fully qualified when they are referred to from either the
API or the backup-archive command line. For example, on a UNIX or Linux
operating system, you register the following file spaces:
v /a
v /a/b
After you register both file spaces, if you back up object b into file space /a, then a
query for /a/b continues to display objects that are related only to file space /a/b.
The exception to this restriction occurs in file space references when you attempt to
query or delete file spaces with the API. In both cases, the file space names do not
have to be fully qualified if you use a wildcard character. For example, /a* refers
to both /a and /a/b.
Tip: If interoperability is important for you, then avoid file space names that
overlap.
On Windows systems, enclose file space names in braces { } for API objects when
you access the objects from the backup-archive command line interface. Windows
operating systems automatically place file space names in uppercase letters when
you register or refer the names. However, this automatic function does not occur
for the remainder of the object name specification. If you want full interoperability,
place the high-level qualifier and the low-level qualifier in uppercase letters in the
application when you back up API objects. If your application does not uppercase
high-level qualifiers (directory names) and low-level qualifiers (file names) before it
sends objects to the server, you will be unable to access the objects directly by
name through the backup-archive client.
If any other of the other qualifiers are also saved in lowercase text, those qualifiers
must also be queried by using wildcards. For example, to query an object that is
stored as {"FileSpaceName"}\TEST\mydirname\file.txt, use the following
command:
dsmc query backup {"FileSpaceName"}\TEST\*\*
The examples that follow demonstrate these concepts. In both Windows and UNIX
or Linux environments, you do not have to specify either the complete high-level
or low-level qualifier. However, if you do not specify the complete qualifier, then
you must use the wildcard character.
Platform Example
Windows To query all backed-up files in file space MYFS, enter the following string:
dsmc q ba "{MYFS}\*\*"
You must use at least one asterisk (*) for each of the high-level and
low-level qualifiers.
You must use at least one asterisk (*) for each of the high-level and
low-level qualifiers.
To view and manage objects that other users own either on the same node or on a
different node, perform these steps:
1. Give access with the set access command.
2. Specify the owner and the node. Use the fromowner and fromnode options from
the backup-archive command line to specify the owner and the node. For
example:
dsmc q ba "/A/*/*" -fromowner=other_owner -fromnode=other_node
Table 19 describes the commands that you can use with API objects.
Table 19. Backup-archive client commands you can use with API objects
Command Description
Delete Archived files that the current user owns can be deleted. The set access
Archive command settings have no effect on this command.
Delete The delete filespace command affects API objects.
Filespace
Query From the backup-archive command line, you can query backed up and
archived API objects and objects that other users own, or that exist on other
nodes. See “Naming your API objects” on page 75 for information about
querying API objects.
Use the existing –fromowner option to query objects that a different user
owns for which the set access permission has been given. Use the existing
–fromnode option to query objects that exist on another node for which the
set access permission has been given. For more information, see
“dsmInitEx” on page 113.
Restore Note: Use these commands only for exception situations. API objects that
are encrypted using the application managed key can be restored or
Retrieve retrieved if the encryption key is known or saved in the password file or
registry. API objects encrypted by using transparent encryption cannot be
restored or retrieved by using the backup-archive client.
These commands return data as bit files that are created by using default
file attributes. You can restore or retrieve API objects that other users own,
or that are from a different node. The set access command determines
which objects qualify.
Set Access The set access command permits users to manage API objects that another
user owns, or that are from another node.
Use the asnodename option on the dsmInitEx option string to back up, archive,
restore, and retrieve, query, or delete data under the target node name on the
Tivoli Storage Manager server. You can also specify the asnodename option in the
dsm.opt or dsm.sys file.
Important: Do not use target nodes as traditional nodes, especially if you encrypt
your files before you back up to the server.
For more information, see the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Backup-Archive Clients
Installation and User's Guide for your operating system.
With Unicode, your application can back up and restore file names in any
character set from the same machine. For example, on an English machine, you can
back up and restore file names in any other language code page.
Use the Tivoli Storage Manager Unicode interface if any of the following
conditions are true.
v If your application is already compiled for Unicode and it was converting to a
multibyte character set (mbcs) before calling the Tivoli Storage Manager API.
v If you are writing a new application and want to enable your application to
support Unicode.
v If your application uses a string passed to it from an operating system or other
application that uses Unicode.
If you do not need Unicode, it is not necessary to compile your application again.
The API continues to support the dsm interface. The API SDK contains callmtu1.c
and callmtu2.c sample programs that demonstrate how to use the Unicode API.
Use makemtu to compile these programs.
Setting up Unicode
To set up and use Unicode you must perform a particular procedure so the API
registers a Unicode file space on the server and all file names in that file space
become Unicode strings.
Note: You cannot store Unicode and non-Unicode file names in the same file
space.
1. Compile the code with the -DUNICODE flag.
2. All strings in your application must be wchar strings.
3. Follow the structures in the tsmapitd.h file, and the function definitions in the
tsmapifp.h file for calls to the API.
4. Set the useUnicode flag to bTrue on the tsmInitEx function call. Any new file
space is registered as a Unicode file space.
When you send data to previously registered, non-Unicode file spaces, the API
continues to send file names as non-Unicode. Rename the old file spaces on the
server to fsname_old and start a new Unicode file space for new data. The API
Each dsmXXX function call has a matching tsmXXX function call. The difference
between the two are the structures that are used. All tsm structures have dsChar_t
types for string values when they are compiled with the UNICODE flag. The
dsChar_r maps to wchar. There is no other difference between these interfaces.
Note: Use either one interface or the other. Do not mix the dsm and tsm interfaces.
Ensure that you use the Tivoli Storage Manager structures and Tivoli Storage
Manager version definitions.
Some constants continue to be defined in the dsmapitd.h file, so you need both the
dsmapitd.h and the tsmapitd.h files when you compile.
You can use the Tivoli Storage Manager interface on other operating systems, such
as UNIX or Linux, but on these operating systems, the dsChar_t type maps to char
because Unicode is supported on Windows only. You can write only one variation
of the application and compile on more than one operating system using the Tivoli
Storage Manager interface. If you are writing a new application, use the Tivoli
Storage Manager interface.
Note: After you use a Unicode-enabled client to access a node, you cannot connect
to the same node name with an older version of the API or with an API from
another operating system. If your application uses cross-platform capability, do not
use the Unicode flag. There is no cross-platform support between Unicode and
non-Unicode operating systems.
When you enable the useUnicode flag, all string structures are treated as Unicode
strings. On the server, only the following fields are true Unicode:
v File space name
v High level
v Low level
v Archive description
All remaining fields convert to mbcs in the local code page before they are sent to
the server. Fields, such as nodename, are wchar strings. They must be valid in the
current locale. For example, on a Japanese machine, you can back up files with
Chinese names, but the node name must be a valid string in Japanese. The option
file remains in the current code page. If you need to create a Unicode
include-exclude list, use the inclexcl option with a file name and create a Unicode
file with Unicode patterns in it. For more information, see the Tivoli Storage
Manager Backup-Archive Client Installation and User’s Guide for your operating
system.
Element Description
Purpose Describes the function call.
Syntax Contains the actual C code for the function call. This code is copied from the
UNIX or Linux version of the dsmapifp.h header file. See Appendix C, “API
function definitions source file,” on page 197.
See Tivoli Storage Manager Client Messages and Application Programming Interface
Return Codes for detailed explanations of API return codes.
dsmBeginGetData
The dsmBeginGetData function call starts a restore or retrieve operation on a list of
objects in storage. This list of objects is contained in the dsmGetList structure. The
application creates this list with values from the query that preceded a call to
dsmBeginGetData.
The caller first must use the restore order fields that are obtained from the object
query to sort the list that is contained in this call. This ensures that the objects are
restored from storage in the most efficient way possible without rewinding or
remounting data tapes.
Follow the call to dsmBeginGetData with one or more calls to dsmGetObj to obtain
each object within the list. After each object is obtained, or additional data for the
object is not needed, the dsmEndGetObj call is sent.
When all objects are obtained, or the dsmEndGetObj is canceled, the dsmEndGetData
call is sent. You then can start the cycle again.
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
dsBool_t mountWait (I)
A Boolean true or false value indicates whether or not the application client
waits for offline media to be mounted if the data that is needed is currently
offline. If mountWait is true, the application waits for the server to mount the
required media. The application waits until the media is mounted or the
request is cancelled.
dsmGetType getType (I)
An enumerated type consisting of gtBackup and gtArchive that indicates what
type of object to get.
dsmGetList *dsmGetObjListP (I)
The structure that contains information about the objects or partial objects to
restore or retrieve. The structure points to a list of object IDs and, in the case of
a partial object restore or retrieve, a list of associated offsets and lengths. If
your application uses the partial object restore or retrieve function, set the
dsmGetList.stVersion field to dsmGetListPORVersion. In a partial object restore
or retrieve, you cannot compress data while sending it. To enforce this, set
ObjAttr.objCompressed to bTrue.
See Figure 19 on page 69 and Appendix B, “API type definitions source files,”
on page 155 for more information on this structure.
See “Partial object restore or retrieve” on page 63 for more information on
partial object restore or retrieve.
Return codes
The query data that is returned from the call is obtained by one or more calls to
dsmGetNextQObj. When the query is complete, the dsmEndQuery call is sent.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmBeginQuery (dsUint32_t dsmHandle,
dsmQueryType queryType,
dsmQueryBuff *queryBuffer);
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
dsmQueryType queryType (I)
Identifies the type of query to run. Assign one of the following options:
qtArchive
Queries archived objects.
qtBackup
Queries backed-up objects.
qtBackupActive
Queries active, backed-up objects only for the entire file space name
that you pass. This query is called a “fast path” and is an efficient way
to query active objects from storage.
The call does not return DEF because that object as deleted
prior to the point-in-time value.
qryABackupData
objName
The complete object name. You can use a wildcard character,
such as an asterisk (*) or a question mark (?), in the high-level
or low-level portion of the name. An asterisk matches zero or
more characters, and a question mark matches one character.
The objType field of objName can have one of the following
values:
v DSM_OBJ_FILE
v DSM_OBJ_DIRECTORY
v DSM_OBJ_ANY_TYPE

DSM_RC_INVALID_OBJSTATE 2024 Invalid object condition.
DSM_RC_WRONG_VERSION_PARM 2065 The API version of the application client is
different from the Tivoli Storage Manager library
version.
dsmBeginTxn
The dsmBeginTxn function call begins one or more Tivoli Storage Manager
transactions that begin a complete action; either all the actions succeed or none
succeed. An action can be either a single call or a series of calls. For example, a
dsmSendObj call that is followed by a number of dsmSendData calls can be
considered a single action. Similarly, a dsmSendObj call with a dataBlkPtr that
indicates a data area containing the object to back up is also considered a single
action.
Try to group more than one object together in a single transaction for data transfer
operations. Grouping objects results in significant performance improvements in
the Tivoli Storage Manager system. From both a client and a server perspective, a
certain amount of overhead is incurred by starting and ending each transaction.
There are limits to what you can perform within a single transaction. These
restrictions include:
v A maximum number of objects that you can send or delete in a single
transaction. This limit is located in the data that dsmQuerySessInfo returns in the
ApiSessInfo.maxObjPerTxn field. This corresponds to the TxnGroupMax server
option.
v All objects that are sent to the server (either backup or archive) within a single
transaction must have the same copy destination that is defined in the
With the API, either the application client can monitor and control these
restrictions, or the API can monitor these restrictions. If the API is monitoring
restrictions, appropriate return codes from the API calls inform the application
client when one or more restrictions are reached.
Always match a dsmBeginTxn call with a dsmEndTxn call to optimize the set of
actions within a pair of dsmBeginTxn and dsmEndTxn calls.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmBeginTnx (dsUint32_t dsmHandle);
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
Return codes
dsmBindMC
The dsmBindMC function call associates, or binds, a management class to the passed
object. The object is passed through the include-exclude list that is pointed to in
the options file. If a match is not found in the Include list for a specific
management class, the default management class is assigned. The Exclude list can
prevent objects from a backup but not from an archive.
The application client can use the parameters that are returned in the mcBindKey
structure to determine if this object should be backed up or archived, or whether a
new transaction must be started because of different copy destinations. See
dsmBeginTxn for more information.
Call dsmBindMC before you call dsmSendObj because every object must have a
management class associated with it. This call can be performed within a
transaction or outside of a transaction. For example, within a multiple object
transaction, if dsmBindMC indicates that the object has a different copy destination
than the previous object, the transaction must be ended and a new transaction
started. In this case, another dsmBindMC is not required because one has already
been performed for this object.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmBindMC (dsUint32_t dsmHandle,
dsmObjName *objNameP,
dsmSendType sendType,
mcBindKey *mcBindKeyP);
Name Description
stBackup A backup object
stArchive An archive object
stBackupMountWait A backup object
stArchiveMountWait An archive object
For the dsmBindMC call, stBackup and stBackupMountWait are equivalent, and
stArchive and stArchiveMountWait are equivalent.
mcBindKey *mcBindKeyP (O)
This is the address of an mcBindKey structure where the management class
information is returned. The application client can use the information that is
returned here to determine if this object fits within a multiple object
transaction, or to perform a management class query on the management class
that is bound to the object.
Return codes
dsmChangePW
The dsmChangePW function call changes a Tivoli Storage Manager password. On a
multiple-user operating system such as UNIX or Linux, only the root user or the
TSM-Authorized user can use this call.
On Windows operating systems, you can specify the password in the dsm.opt file.
In this situation, dsmChangePW does not update the dsm.opt file. After the call to
dsmChangePW is made, you must update the dsm.opt file separately.
If dsmChangePW is called for some other reason, the session remains open regardless
of the return code.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmChangePW (dsUint32_t dsmHandle,
char *oldPW,
char *newPW);
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
char *oldPW (I)
The old password of the caller. The maximum length is
DSM_MAX_VERIFIER_LENGTH.
char *newPW (I)
The new password of the caller. The maximum length is
DSM_MAX_VERIFIER_LENGTH.
Return codes
dsmCleanUp
The dsmCleanUp function call is used if dsmSetUp was called. The dsmCleanUp
function call should be called after dsmTerminate. You cannot make any other calls
after you call dsmCleanUp.
Syntax
dsInt16_t DSMLINKAGE dsmCleanUp
(dsBool_t mtFlag);
Parameters
dsBool_t mtFlag (I)
This parameter specifies that the API was used either in a single thread or a
multithread mode. Possible values include:
dsmDeleteAccess
The dsmDeleteAccess function call deletes current authorization rules for backup
versions or archived copies of your objects. When you delete an authorization rule,
you revoke the access a user has to any files that are specified by the rule.
When you use dsmDeleteAccess, you can only delete one rule at a time. Obtain the
rule ID through the dsmQueryAccess command.
Syntax
dsInt16_t DSMLINKAGE dsmDeleteAccess
(dsUint32_t dsmHandle,
dsUint32_t ruleNum) ;
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
dsUint32_t ruleNum (I)
The rule ID for the access rule that is deleted. This value is obtained from a
dsmQueryAccess function call.
dsmDeleteFS
The dsmDeleteFS function call deletes a file space from storage. To delete a file
space, you must have the appropriate permissions that your Tivoli Storage
Manager administrator gave you. To determine whether you have the necessary
permissions, call dsmQuerySessInfo. This function call returns a data structure of
type ApiSessInfo, that includes two fields, archDel and backDel.
Note:
v On a UNIX or Linux operating system, only a root user or a TSM-Authorized
user can delete a file space.
v If the file space that you need to delete contains backup versions, you must have
backup delete authority (backDel = BACKDEL_YES). If the file space contains
archive copies, you must have archive delete authority (archDel =
ARCHDEL_YES). If the file space contains both backup versions and archive
copies, you must have both types of delete authority.
v When using an archive manager server, a file space cannot actually be removed.
This function call returns rc=0 even though the file space was not actually
deleted. The only way to verify that the file space has been deleted is to issue a
filespace query to the server.
v The Tivoli Storage Manager server delete file space function is a background
process. If errors other than those detected before passing a return code happen,
they are recorded in the Tivoli Storage Manager server log.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmDeleteFS (dsUint32_t dsmHandle,
char *fsName,
unsigned char repository);
Return codes
dsmDeleteObj
The dsmDeleteObj function call inactivates backup objects, deletes backup objects,
or it deletes archive objects in storage. The dtBackup type inactivates the currently
active backup copy only. The dtBackupID type removes from the server whichever
object ID is specified. Call this function from within a transaction.
Before you send dsmDeleteObj, send the query sequence that is described in
“Querying the Tivoli Storage Manager system” on page 33 to obtain the
information for delInfo. The call to dsmGetNextQObj returns a data structure named
qryRespBackupData for backup queries or qryRespArchiveData for archive queries.
These data structures contain the information that you need for delInfo.
The value of maxObjPerTxn determines the maximum number of objects that you
can delete in a single transaction. To obtain this value, call dsmQuerySessInfo.
Note: Your node must have the appropriate permission that your Tivoli Storage
Manager administrator set. To delete archive objects, you must have archive delete
authority. You do not need backup delete authority to inactivate a backup object.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmDeleteObj (dsUint32_t dsmHandle,
dsmDelType delType,
dsmDelInfo delInfo)
Name Description
dtArchive The object to delete was previously archived.
To use this delete type, you must have a Tivoli Storage Manager
server, V3.7.4 or later.
dtBackup The object to inactivate was previously backed up.
To use this delete type, you must have a Tivoli Storage Manager
server, V3.7.3 or later.
dtBackupID The object to delete was previously backed up.
To use this delete type, you must have a Tivoli Storage Manager
server, V3.7.3 or later.
Return codes
The dsmEndGetData function call starts after all objects that you want to restore are
processed, or ends the get process prematurely. Call dsmEndGetData to end a
dsmBeginGetData session before you can continue other processing.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmEndGetData (dsUint32_t dsmHandle);
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
dsmEndGetDataEx
The dsmEndGetDataEx function call provides the total of LAN-free bytes that were
sent. It is an extension of the dsmEndGetData function call.
Syntax
Parameters
dsmEndGetDataExIn_t *dsmEndGetDataExInP (I)
Passes the end get object dsmHandle that identifies the session and associates
it with subsequent calls.
dsmEndGetDataExOut_t *dsmEndGetDataExOutP (O)
This structure contains this input parameter:
totalLFBytesRecv
The total LAN-free bytes that are received.
Start the dsmEndGetObj call after an end of data is received for the object. This
indicates that all data was received, or that no more data will be received for this
object. Before you can start another dsmGetObj call, you must call dsmEndGetObj.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmEndGetObj (dsUint32_t dsmHandle);
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
Return codes
dsmEndQuery
The dsmEndQuery function call signifies the end of a dsmBeginQuery action. The
application client sends dsmEndQuery to complete a query. This call either is sent
after all query responses are obtained through dsmGetNextQObj, or it is sent to end
a query before all data are returned.
Note: The Tivoli Storage Manager continues to send the query data from the
server to the client in this case, but the API discards any remaining data.
Once a dsmBeginQuery is sent, a dsmEndQuery must be sent before any other activity
can start.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmEndQuery (dsUint32_t dsmHandle);
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
Enter the dsmEndSendObj function call to indicate the end of data from the
dsmSendObj and dsmSendData calls. A protocol violation occurs if this is not
performed. The exception to this rule is if you call dsmEndTxn to end the
transaction. Doing this discards all data that was sent for the transaction.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmEndSendObj (dsUint32_t dsmHandle);
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
Return codes
dsmEndSendObjEx
The dsmEndSendObjEx function call provides additional information regarding the
number of bytes processed. The information includes: total bytes sent, compression
information, lan-free bytes, and deduplication information.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmEndSendObjEx (dsmEndSendObjExIn_t *dsmEndSendObjExInP,
dsmEndSendObjExOut_t *dsmEndSendObjExOutP);
Parameters
dsmEndSendObjExIn_t *dsmEndSendObjExInP (I)
This parameter passes the end send object dsmHandle that identifies the
session and associates it with subsequent calls.
dsmEndSendObjExOut_t *dsmEndSendObjExOutP (O)
This parameter passes the end send object information:
Name Description
totalBytesSent The total number of bytes that are read from the application.
objCompressed A flag that displays if the object was compressed.
totalCompressedSize The total byte size after compression.
totalLFBytesSent The total LAN-free bytes that were sent.
objDeduplicated A flag that displays if the object was deduplicated by the API.
totalDedupSize Total bytes sent after deduplication.

Return codes
dsmEndTxn
The dsmEndTxn function call ends a Tivoli Storage Manager transaction. Pair the
dsmEndTxn function call with dsmBeginTxn to identify the call or set of calls that are
considered a transaction. The application client can specify on the dsmEndTxn call
whether the transaction must be committed or ended.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmEndTxn (dsUint32_t dsmHandle,
dsUint8_t vote,
dsUint16_t *reason);
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
dsUint8_t vote (I)
Indicates whether the application client commits all the actions that are done
between the previous dsmBeginTxn call and this call. The following values are
possible:
DSM_VOTE_COMMIT /* commit current transaction */
DSM_VOTE_ABORT /* roll back current transaction */
dsmEndTxnEx
The dsmEndTxnEx function call provides group leader object ID information for you
to use with the dsmGroupHandler function call. It is an extension of the dsmEndTxn
function call.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmEndTxnEx (dsmEndTxnExIn_t *dsmEndTxnExInP
dsmEndTxnExOut_t *dsmEndTxnExOutP);
Parameters
dsmEndTxnExIn_t *dsmEndTxnExInP (I)
This structure contains the following parameters:
dsmHandle
The handle that identifies the session and associates it with subsequent
Tivoli Storage Manager calls.
dsUint8_t vote (I)
Indicates whether or not the application client commits all the actions that
are done between the previous dsmBeginTxn call and this call. The possible
values are:
DSM_VOTE_COMMIT /* commit current transaction */
DSM_VOTE_ABORT /* roll back current transaction */
Use DSM_VOTE_ABORT only if your application has found a reason to stop the
transaction.
dsmEndTxnExOut_t *dsmEndTxnExOutP (O)
This structure contains the following parameters:
102 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager: Using the Application Programming Interface
dsUint16_t *reason (O)
If the call to dsmEndTxnEx ends with an error or the value of vote is not
agreed to, this parameter has a reason code indicating why the vote failed.
Note: The return code for the call might be zero, and the reason code
might be non-zero. Therefore, the application client must always check for
errors on both the return code and the reason (if (rc || reason)) before
you can assume a successful completion.
If the application specifies a vote of DSM_VOTE_ABORT, the reason code
is DSM_RS_ABORT_BY_CLIENT (3). See Appendix A, “API return codes
source file: dsmrc.h,” on page 143 for a list of the possible reason codes.
Numbers 1 through 50 in the return codes list are reserved for the reason
codes. If the server ends the transaction, the return code is
DSM_RC_CHECK_REASON_CODE. In this case, the reason value contains
more information on the cause of the abort.
groupLeaderObjId
The group leader object ID that is returned when the
DSM_ACTION_OPEN flag is used with the dsmGroupHandler call.
Return codes
dsmGetData
The dsmGetData function call obtains a byte stream of data from Tivoli Storage
Manager and places it in the caller's buffer. The application client calls dsmGetData
when there is more data to receive from a previous dsmGetObj or dsmGetData call.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmGetData (dsUint32_t dsmHandle,
DataBlk *dataBlkPtr);
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
DataBlk *dataBlkPtr (I/O)
Points to a structure that includes both a pointer to the buffer for the data that
is received and the size of the buffer. On return, this structure contains the
Return codes
dsmGetBufferData
The dsmGetBufferData function call receives a byte stream of data from the Tivoli
Storage Manager through a Tivoli Storage Manager buffer. After each call the
application needs to copy the data and release the buffer through a call to
dsmReleaseBuffer. If the number of buffers held by the application equals the
numTsmBuffers specified in the dsmInitEx call, the dsmGetBufferData function
blocks until a dsmReleaseBuffer is called.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmGetBufferData (getDatatExIn_t *dsmGetBufferDataExInP,
getDataExOut_t *dsmGetBufferDataExOutP) ;
Parameters
getDataExIn_t * dsmGetBufferDataExInP (I)
This structure contains the following input parameter.
dsUint32_t dsmHandle
The handle that identifies the session and associates it with a previous
dsmInitEx call.
getDataExOut_t * dsmGetBufferDataExOutP (0)
This structure contains the following output parameters.
dsUint8_t tsmBufferHandle(0)
The handle that identifies the buffer received.
char *dataPtr(0)
The address to which Tivoli Storage Manager data was written.
dsUint32_t numBytes(0)
Actual number of bytes written by Tivoli Storage Manager.
104 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager: Using the Application Programming Interface
Return codes
dsmGetNextQObj
The dsmGetNextQObj function call gets the next query response from a previous
dsmBeginQuery call and places the response in the caller buffer.
The dsmGetNextQObj call is called one or more times. Each time the function is
called, either a single query record is retrieved, or an error or a DSM_RC_FINISHED
reason code is returned. If DSM_RC_FINISHED is returned, there is no more data to
process. When all query data is retrieved, or if no more query data is needed, send
the dsmEndQuery call to end the query process.
The dataBlkPtr parameter must point to a buffer that is defined with the
qryResp*Data structure type. The context in which dsmGetNextQObj is called
determines the type of structure that is entered on the query response.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmGetNextQObj (dsUint32_t dsmHandle,
DataBlk *dataBlkPtr);
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
DataBlk *dataBlkPtr (I/O)
Points to a structure that includes both a pointer to the buffer for the data to
be received and the size of the buffer. This buffer is the qryResp*Data response
structure. On return, this structure contains the number of bytes that is
transferred. The structure that is associated with each type of query is
described in the following table. For more information about the type
definition of DataBlk, see the following topic: Appendix B, “API type

DSM_RC_ABORT_NO_MATCH 2 No match for the query was
requested.
DSM_RC_FINISHED 121 Finished processing (start
dsmEndQuery). There is no more data
to process.
DSM_RC_UNKNOWN_FORMAT 122 The file that Tivoli Storage Manager
attempted to restore or retrieve has an
unknown format.
dsmGetObj
The dsmGetObj function call obtains the requested object data from the Tivoli
Storage Manager data stream and places it in the caller's buffer. The dsmGetObj call
uses the object ID to obtain the next object or partial object from the data stream.
The data for the indicated object is placed in the buffer to which DataBlk points. If
more data is available, you must make one or more calls to dsmGetData to receive
the remaining object data until a return code of DSM_RC_FINISHED is returned.
Check the numBytes field in DataBlk to see whether any data remains in the buffer.
Objects should be asked for in the order that they were listed on the
dsmBeginGetData call in the dsmGetList parameter. The exception is when the
application client needs to pass over an object in the data stream to get to an object
later in the list. If the object that is indicated by the object ID is not the next object
in the stream, the data stream is processed until the object is located, or the stream
is completed. Use this feature with care, because it might be necessary to process
and discard large amounts of data to locate the requested object.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmGetObj (dsUint32_t dsmHandle,
ObjID *objIdP,
DataBlk *dataBlkPtr);
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
ObjID *objIdP (I)
A pointer to the ID of the object to restore.
DataBlk *dataBlkPtr (I/O)
A pointer to the buffer where the restored data are placed.

v DSM_GROUP_ACTION_REMOVE- removes a member from a group
memberType.
The group type of the object. Values include:
v DSM_MEMBERTYPE_LEADER - group leader
v DSM_MEMBERTYPE_MEMBER - group member
*uniqueGroupTagP
A unique string ID that is associated with a group.
Return codes
dsmInit
The dsmInit function call starts an API session and connects the client to Tivoli
Storage Manager storage. The application client can have only one active session
open at a time. To open another session with different parameters, use the
dsmTerminate call first to end the current session.
To permit cross-node query and restore or retrieve, use the -fromnode and
-fromowner string options. See “Accessing objects across nodes and owners” on
page 25 for more information.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmInit (dsUint32_t *dsmHandle,
dsmApiVersion *dsmApiVersionP,
char *clientNodeNameP,
char *clientOwnerNameP,
char *clientPasswordP,
char *applicationType,
char *configfile,
char *options);
Parameters
dsUint32_t *dsmHandle (O)
The handle that identifies this initialization session and associates it with
subsequent Tivoli Storage Manager calls.
dsmApiVersion *dsmApiVersionP (I)
A pointer to the data structure identifying the version of the API that the
application client is using for this session. The structure contains the values of
the three constants, DSM_API_VERSION, DSM_API_RELEASE, and
DSM_API_LEVEL, that are set in the dsmapitd.h file. A previous call to
dsmQueryApiVersion must be performed to ensure that compatibility exists
between the application client API version and the version of the API library
that is installed on the user's workstation.
110 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager: Using the Application Programming Interface
char *clientNodeNameP (I)
This parameter is a pointer to the node for the Tivoli Storage Manager session.
All sessions must have a node name associated with them. The constant,
DSM_MAX_NODE_LENGTH, in the dsmapitd.h file sets the maximum size
that is permitted for a node name.
The node name is not case-sensitive.
If this parameter is set both to NULL and passwordaccess is set to prompt, the
API attempts to obtain the node name first from the options string that was
passed. If it is not there, the API then attempts to obtain the node name from
the configuration file or options files. If these attempts to find the node name
fail, the UNIX or Linux API uses the system host name, while APIs on other
operating systems return the DSM_RC_REJECT_ID_UNKNOWN code.
This parameter must be NULL if the passwordaccess option in the dsm.sys file
is set to generate. The API uses the system host name.
char *clientOwnerNameP (I)
This parameter is a pointer to the owner of the Tivoli Storage Manager session.
If the operating system on which the session starts is a multi-user operating
system, an owner name of NULL (the root user) has the authority to back up,
archive, restore, or retrieve any objects belonging to the application, regardless
of the owner of the object.
The owner name is case-sensitive.
This parameter must be NULL if the passwordaccess option in the dsm.sys file
is set to generate. The API then uses the login user ID.
Return codes

dsmInitEx
The dsmInitEx function call starts an API session using the additional parameters
that permit extended verification.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmInitEx (dsUint32_t *dsmHandleP,
dsmInitExIn_t *dsmInitExInP,
dsmInitExOut_t *dsmInitExOutP) ;
Parameters
dsUint32_t *dsmHandleP (O)
The handle that identifies this initialization session and associates it with
subsequent Tivoli Storage Manager calls.
dsmInitExIn_t *dsmInitExInP
This structure contains the following input parameters:
dsmApiVersion *dsmApiVersionP (I)
This parameter is a pointer to the data structure that identifies the version
of the API that the application client is using for this session. The structure
contains the values of the four constants, DSM_API_VERSION,
DSM_API_RELEASE, DSM_API_LEVEL, and DSM_API_SUBLEVEL that
are set in the dsmapitd.h file. A previous call to dsmQueryApiVersionEx
must be performed to ensure that compatibility exists between the API
version of the application client and the version of the API library installed
on the user's workstation.
char *clientNodeNameP (I)
This parameter is a pointer to the node for the Tivoli Storage Manager
session. All sessions must have a node name associated with them. The
114 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager: Using the Application Programming Interface
char *configfile (I)
Points to a character string that contains the fully-qualified name of an API
configuration file. Options specified in the API configuration file override
their specification in the client options file. Options files are defined when
Tivoli Storage Manager (client or API) is installed.
For a description and use of configuration files, see “Understanding
configuration and options files” on page 1 and the Tivoli Storage Manager
Backup-Archive Client Installation and User’s Guide for your operating system.
char *options (I)
Points to a character string that can contain user options such as:
v Compressalways
v Servername (UNIX and Linux only)
v TCPServeraddr (non-UNIX)
v Fromnode
v Fromowner
The application client can use the options list to override the values of
these options that the configuration file sets.
The format of the options is:

Return codes
dsmQueryAccess
The dsmQueryAccess function call queries the server for all access authorization
rules for either backup versions or archived copies of your objects. A pointer to an
array of access rules is passed in to the call, and the completed array is returned. A
pointer to the number of rules is passed in to indicate how many rules are in the
array.
Syntax
dsInt16_t DSMLINKAGE dsmQueryAccess
(dsUint32_t dsmHandle),
qryRespAccessData **accessListP,
dsUint16_t *numberOfRules) ;
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
qryRespAccessData **accessListP (O)
A pointer to an array of qryRespAccessData elements that the API library
allocates. Each element corresponds to an access rule. The number of elements
in the array is returned in the numberOfRules parameter. The information that
is returned in each qryRespAccessData element includes the following:
Name Description
ruleNumber The ID for the access rule. This identifies the rule for deletion.
AccessType The backup or archive type.
Node The node on which you gave access.
Owner The user to whom you gave access.
objName The high-level, or low-level file space descriptors.
dsmQueryApiVersion
The dsmQueryApiVersion function call performs a query request for the API library
version that the application client accesses.
All updates to the API are made in an upward-compatible format. Any application
client with an API version or release less than, or equal to, the API library on the
end user's workstation operates without change. Be aware before you proceed that
should the dsmQueryApiVersion call return a version or version release older than
that of the application clients, some API calls might be enhanced in a manner that
is not supported by the end user's older version of the API.
The application API version number is stored in the dsmapitd.h header file as
constants DSM_API_VERSION, DSM_API_RELEASE, and DSM_API_LEVEL.
Syntax
void dsmQueryApiVersion (dsmApiVersion *apiVersionP);
Parameters
dsmApiVersion *apiVersionP (O)
This parameter is a pointer to the structure that contains the API library
version, release, and level components. For example, if the library is version
1.1.0, then, after returning from the call, the fields of the structure contain the
following values:
dsmApiVersionP->version = 1
dsmApiVersionP->release = 1
dsmApiVersionP->level = 0
dsmQueryApiVersionEx
The dsmQueryApiVersionEx function call performs a query request for the API
library version that the application client accesses.
All updates to the API are made in an upward-compatible format. Any application
client that has an API version or release less than or equal to the API library on the
end user's workstation operates without change. See Summary of Code Changes in
the README_api_enu file for exceptions to upward compatibility. If the
dsmQueryApiVersionEx call returns a version or version release that is different from
that of the application client, be aware before you proceed that some API calls
might be enhanced in a manner that is not supported by the end user's older
version of the API.
The application API version number is stored in the dsmapitd.h header file as
constants DSM_API_VERSION, DSM_API_RELEASE, DSM_API_LEVEL, and
DSM_API_SUBLEVEL.
Syntax
void dsmQueryApiVersionEx (dsmApiVersionEx *apiVersionP);
120 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager: Using the Application Programming Interface
Parameters
dsmApiVersionEx *apiVersionP (O)
This parameter is a pointer to the structure that contains the API library's
version, release, level, and sublevel components. For example, if the library is
Version 5.5.0.0, then, after returning from the call, the fields of the structure
contain the following values:
v ApiVersionP->version = 5
v ApiVersionP->release = 5
v ApiVersionP->level = 0
v ApiVersionP->subLevel = 0
dsmQueryCliOptions
The dsmQueryCliOptions function call queries important option values in the user's
option files. A structure of type optStruct is passed in the call and contains the
information. This call is performed before dsmInitEx is called, and it determines
the setup before the session.
Note: For more information about options, see the Tivoli Storage Manager
Backup-Archive Client Installation and User’s Guide for your operating system.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmQueryCliOptions
(optStruct *optstructP);
Parameters

The dsmQuerySessOptions function call queries important option values that are
valid in the specified session in dsmHandle. A structure of type optStruct is passed
in the call and contains the information.
This call is started after a successful dsmInitEx call. The values that are returned
might be different from the values returned on a dsmQueryCliOptions call,
depending on values that are passed to the dsmInitEx call, primarily optString,
and optFile. For information about option precedence, see “Understanding
configuration and options files” on page 1.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmQuerySessOptions
(dsUint32_t dsmHandle,
optStruct *optstructP);
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmhandle(I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
optStruct *optstructP (I/O)
This parameter passes the address of the structure that the API completes. The
application client is responsible for allocating storage for the structure. On
successful return, the fields in the structure are completed with the appropriate
information.

The msg parameter displays the message prefix return code in parentheses ( ),
followed by the message text. For example, a call to dsmRCMsg might return the
following:
ANS0264E (RC2300) Only root user can execute dsmChangePW or dsmDeleteFS.
For some languages where characters are different in ANSII and OEM code pages,
it might be necessary to convert strings from ANSII to OEM before printing them
out (for example, Eastern European single-byte character sets). The following is an
example:
dsmRCMsg(dsmHangle, rc, msgBuf);
#ifdef WIN32
#ifndef WIN64
CharToOemBuff(msgBuf, msgBuf, strlen(msgBuf));
#endif
#endif
printf("
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmRCMsg (dsUint32_t dsmHandle,
dsInt16_t dsmRC,
char *msg);
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
dsInt16_t dsmRC (I)
The API return code of the associated message text. The API return codes are
listed in the dsmrc.h file. See Appendix A, “API return codes source file:
dsmrc.h,” on page 143 for more information.
char *msg (O)

message files, the API returns a message string in the national language.
Return codes
124 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager: Using the Application Programming Interface
dsmRegisterFS
The dsmRegisterFS function call registers a new file space with the Tivoli Storage
Manager server. Register a file space first before you can back up any data to it.
Application clients should not use the same file space names that a backup-archive
client would use.
v On UNIX or Linux, run the df command for these names.
v On Windows, these names are generally the volume labels that are associated
with the different drives on your system.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmRegisterFS (dsUint32_t dsmHandle,
regFSData *regFilespaceP);
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
regFSData *regFilespaceP (I)
This parameter passes the name of the file space and associated information
that you need to register with the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
Note: The fstype field includes the prefix, “API:”. All file space queries
display this string. For example, if the user passes myfstype for fstype in
dsmRegisterFS, the actual value string on the server is returned as
API:myfstype when queried. This prefix distinguishes API objects from
backup-archive objects.
The usable area for fsInfo is now DSM_MAX_USER_FSINFO_LENGTH.
Return codes
dsmReleaseBufferSyntax
dsInt16_t dsmReleaseBuffer (releaseBufferIn_t *dsmReleaseBufferInP,
releaseBufferOut_t *dsmReleaseBufferOutP) ;
Parameters
releaseBufferIn_t * dsmReleaseBufferInP (I)
This structure contains the following input parameters.
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
dsUint8_t tsmBufferHandle(I)
The handle that identifies this buffer.
char *dataPtr(I)
The address to which the application is written.
Return codes
dsmRenameObj
The dsmRenameObj function call renames the high-level or low-level object name.
For backup objects, pass in the current object name and changes either for
high-level or low-level object names. For archive objects, pass in the current object
file space name and object ID, and changes either for high-level or low-level object
names. Use this function call within dsmBeginTxn and dsmEndTxn calls.
The merge flag determines whether or not a duplicate backup object name is
merged with the existing backups. If the new name corresponds to an existing
object and merge is true, the current object is converted to the new name and it
becomes the active version of the new name while the existing active object that
had that name becomes the top most inactive copy of the object. If the new name
corresponds to an existing object and merge is false, the function then returns the
return code, DSM_RC_ABORT_DUPLICATE_OBJECT.
126 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager: Using the Application Programming Interface
The dsmRenameObj function call tests for these merge conditions:
v The current dsmObjName object and the new high-level or low-level object must
match on owner, copy group, and management class.
v The current dsmObjName must have been backed up more recently than the
currently active object with the new name.
v There must be only an active copy of the current dsmObjName with no inactive
copies.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmRenameObj (dsmRenameIn_t *dsmRenameInP,
dsmRenameOut_t *dsmRenameOutP);
Parameters

duplicate named objects. The values are either true or false.
ObjID;
The object ID for archive objects.
dsmRenameOut_t *dsmRnameOutP
This structure contains the output parameters.
Return codes
dsmReleaseBuffer requires that dsmInitEx was called with the UseTsmBuffers set to
btrue and a non-zero value was provided for numTsmBuffers. dsmReleaseBuffer
should also be called if the application is about to call dsmTerminate and it still
holds Tivoli Storage Manager buffers.

128 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager: Using the Application Programming Interface
dsmRetentionEvent
The dsmRetentionEvent function call sends a list of object IDs to the server, with a
retention event operation to be performed on these objects. Use this function call
within dsmBeginTxn and dsmEndTxn calls.
Note: The Tivoli Storage Manager server must be at the Version 5.2.2.0 level or
higher for this function to work.
Before you send dsmRetentionEvent, send the query sequence that is described in
“Querying the Tivoli Storage Manager system” on page 33 to obtain the
information for the object. The call to dsmGetNextQObj returns a data structure
named qryRespArchiveData for archive queries. This data structure contains the
information that is needed for dsmRetentionEvent.
Syntax
extern dsInt16_t DSMLINKAGE dsmRetentionEvent(
dsmRetentionEventIn_t *ddsmRetentionEventInP,
dsmRetentionEventOut_t *dsmRetentionEventOutP
);
Parameters
dsmRetentionEventIn_t *dsmRetentionEventP
This structure contains the following input parameters:
dsUint16_t stVersion;
This parameter indicates the structure version.
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
dsmEventType_t evenType (I);
This parameter indicates the event type. See the beginning of this section
for the meaning of these possible values: eventRetentionActivate,
eventHoldObj, eventReleaseObj
Return codes
dsmSendBufferData
The dsmSendBufferData function call sends a byte stream of data to Tivoli Storage
Manager through a buffer that was provided in a previous dsmReleaseBuffer call.
The application client can pass any type of data for storage on the server. Usually
this data are file data, but it is not limited to file data. You can call
dsmSendBufferData several times, if the byte stream of data that you are sending is
large. Regardless of whether the call succeeds or fails, the buffer is released.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmSendBufferData (sendBufferDataIn_t *dsmSendBufferDataExInP,
sendBufferDataOut_t *dsmSendBufferDataOutP) ;
Parameters
sendBufferDataIn_t * dsmSendBufferDataInP (I)
This structure contains the following input parameters.
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
dsUint8_t tsmBufferHandle(I)
The handle that identifies the buffer to send.
char *dataPtr(I)
The address to which application data was written.
dsUint32_t numBytes(I)
The actual number of bytes written by the application (should always be
less than the value provided in dsmReleaseBuffer).
130 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager: Using the Application Programming Interface
Return codes
dsmSendData
The dsmSendData function call sends a byte stream of data to Tivoli Storage
Manager through a buffer. The application client can pass any type of data for
storage on the server. Usually, these data are file data, but are not limited to such.
You can call dsmSendData several times, if the byte stream of data that you want to
send is large.
Note: The application client cannot reuse the buffer that is specified in
dsmSendData until the dsmSendData call returns.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmSendData (dsUint32_t dsmHandle,
DataBlk *dataBlkPtr);
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
DataBlk *dataBlkPtr (I/O)
This parameter points to a structure that includes both a pointer to the buffer
from which the data are to be sent, as well as the size of the buffer. On return,
this structure contains the number of bytes that is actually transferred. See
Appendix B, “API type definitions source files,” on page 155 for the type
definition.
Return codes
dsmSendObj
The dsmSendObj function call starts a request to send a single object to storage.
Multiple dsmSendObj calls and associated dsmSendData calls can be made within the
bounds of a transaction for performance reasons.
The dsmSendObj call processes the data for the object as a byte stream passed in
memory buffers. The dataBlkPtr parameter in the dsmSendObj call permits the
application client to either:
v Pass the data and the attributes (the attributes are passed through the
objAttrPtr ) of the object in a single call.
v Specify part of the object data through the dsmSendObj call and the remainder of
the data through one or more dsmSendData calls.
Alternatively, the application client can specify only the attributes through the
dsmSendObj call and specify the object data through one or more calls to
dsmSendData. For this method, set dataBlkPtr to NULL on the dsmSendObj call.
Note: For certain object types, byte stream data might not be associated with the
data; for example, a directory entry with no extended attributes.
Follow all object data that is sent to storage with a dsmEndSendObj call. If you do
not have object data to send to the server, or all data was contained within the
dsmSendObj call, start a dsmEndSendObj call before you can start another dsmSendObj
call. If multiple data sends were required through the dsmSendData call, the
dsmEndSendObj follows the last send to indicate the state change.
132 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager: Using the Application Programming Interface
Note: If Tivoli Storage Manager returns code 157 (DSM_RC_WILL_ABORT), start a
call to dsmEndTxn with a vote of DSM_VOTE_COMMIT. The application should
then receive return code 2302 (DSM_RC_CHECK_REASON_CODE) and pass the
reason code back to the application user. This informs the user why the server is
ending the transaction.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmSendObj (dsUint32_t dsmHandle,
dsmSendType sendType,
void *sendBuff,
dsmObjName *objNameP,
ObjAttr *objAttrPtr,
DataBlk *dataBlkPtr);
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
dsmSendType sendType (I)
This parameter specifies the type of send that is being performed. Possible
values include:
Name Description
stBackup A backup object that is sent to the server.
stArchive An archive object that is sent to the server.
stBackupMountWait A backup object for which you want the server to wait until the
necessary device, such as a tape, is mounted.
stArchiveMountWait An archive object for which you want the server to wait until
the necessary device, such as a tape, is mounted.
Note: Use the MountWait types if there is any possibility that your application
user might send data to a tape.
void *sendBuff (I)
This parameter is a pointer to a structure that contains other information
specific to the sendType on the call. Currently, only a sendType of stArchive has
an associated structure. This structure is called sndArchiveData and it contains
the archive description.
dsmObjName *objNameP (I)
This parameter is a pointer to the structure that contains the file space name,
high-level object name, low-level object name, and object type. See “Object
names and IDs” on page 23 for more information.
ObjAttr *objAttrPtr (I)
This parameter passes object attributes of interest to the application. See
Appendix B, “API type definitions source files,” on page 155 for the type
definition.
The attributes are:
v owner refers to the owner of the object. Determining whether the owner is
declared to be a specific name or an empty string is important when getting
the object back from Tivoli Storage Manager storage. See “Accessing objects
as session owner” on page 25 for more information.
Note: The size estimate is for the total size of the data object in bytes.
Objects with a size smaller than DSM_MIN_COMPRESS_SIZE do not
compress.
If your object has no bit data (only the attribute information from this call),
the sizeEstimate should be zero.
Note: Starting with Version 5.1.0, the copy destination within a transaction
is not checked for consistency on zero-length objects.
v objCompressed is a Boolean value that states whether or not the object data
have already been compressed.
If the object is compressed (object compressed=bTrue), Tivoli Storage
Manager does not try to compress it again. If it is not compressed, Tivoli
Storage Manager decides whether to compress the object, based on the
values of the compression option set by the Tivoli Storage Manager
administrator and set in the API configuration sources.
If your application plans to use partial object restore or retrieve, you cannot
compress the data while sending it. To enforce this, set
ObjAttr.objCompressed to bTrue.
v objInfo saves information about the particular object.

dsmSetAccess
The dsmSetAccess function call gives other users or nodes access to backup
versions or archived copies of your objects, access to all your objects, or access to a
selective set. When you give access to another user, that user can query, restore, or
retrieve your files. This command supports wildcards for the following fields: fs,
hl, ll, node, owner.
Note: You cannot give access to both backup versions and archive copies by using
a single command. You must specify either backup or archive.
Syntax
dsInt16_t DSMLINKAGE dsmSetAccess
(dsUint32_t dsmHandle,
dsmSetAccessType accessType,
dsmObjName *objNameP,
char *node,
char *owner);
Name Description
atBackup Specifies that access is being set to backup objects.
atArchive Specifies that the access is being set for archive objects.
Note: To specify all file spaces, use an asterisk (*) for the file space name.
char *node (I)
This parameter is a pointer to the node name for which access is given. For
any node, specify an asterisk (*).
char *owner (I)
This parameter is a pointer to the user name on the node to which you gave
access. For all users, specify an asterisk (*).
Return codes
The return code numbers are provided in parentheses ( ).

DSM_RC_INVALID_SETACCESS (2114) Invalid formulation of set access.
dsmSetUp
The dsmSetUp function call overwrites environment variable values. Call dsmSetUp
before dsmInitEx. The values that were passed in the envSetUp structure overwrite
any existing environment variables or defaults. If you specify NULL for a field,
values are taken from the environment. If you do not set a value, the values are
taken from the defaults.
Note:
1. If you use dsmSetUp, always call dsmTerminate before dsmCleanUp.
2. API instrumentation can only be activated if the testflag INSTRUMENT: API is
set in the configuration file and the dsmSetUp or dsmCleanUp calls are used in
the application.
136 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager: Using the Application Programming Interface
Syntax
dsInt16_t DSMLINKAGE dsmSetUp
(dsBool_t mtFlag,
envSetUp *envSetUpP);
Parameters
dsBool_t mtFlag (I)
This parameter specifies if the API will be used in a single thread, or a
multithread mode. Values include:
DSM_SINGLETHREAD
DSM_MULTITHREAD
Note: The multithread flag must be on for LAN-free data transfer to occur.
envSetUp *envSetUpP(I)
This parameter is a pointer to the structure that holds the overwrite values.
Specify NULL if you do not want to override existing environment variables.
The fields in the envSetUp structure include:
Name Description
dsmiDir A fully-qualified directory path that contains a message file on
UNIX or Linux. It also specifies the dsmtca and the dsm.sys
directories.
dsmiConfig The fully-qualified name of the client options file.
dsmiLog The fully-qualified path of the error log directory.
argv Pass the argv[0] name of the calling program if the application
must run as TSM-Authorized. See “Setting the passwordaccess
option to generate without TCA” on page 21 for more
information.
logName The file name for an error log if the application does not use
dsierror.log.
inclExclCaseSensitive Indicates whether include/exclude rules are case-sensitive or
case-insensitive. This parameter can be used on Windows only,
it is ignored elsewhere.
Return codes
dsmTerminate
The dsmTerminate function call ends a session with the Tivoli Storage Manager
server and cleans up the Tivoli Storage Manager environment.
Syntax
There are no return codes that are specific for this call.
dsInt16_t dsmTerminate (dsUint32_t dsmHandle);
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
dsmUpdateFS
The dsmUpdateFS function call updates a file space in Tivoli Storage Manager
storage. This update ensures that the Tivoli Storage Manager administrator has a
current record of your file space.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmUpdateFS (dsUint32_t dsmHandle,
char *fs,
dsmFSUpd *fsUpdP,
dsUint32_t fsUpdAct);
Parameters
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
char *fs (I)
This parameter is a pointer to the file space name.
dsmFSUpd *fsUpdP (I)
This parameter is a pointer to the structure that has the correct fields for the
update that you want. Complete only those fields that need updating.
dsUint32_t fsUpdAct (I)
A 2-byte bit map that indicates which of the fields to update. The bit masks
have the following values:
v DSM_FSUPD_FSTYPE
v DSM_FSUPD_FSINFO
138 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager: Using the Application Programming Interface
Important: For Windows operating systems, the drive letter value from
dsmDOSAttrib is also updated when FSINFO is selected.
v DSM_FSUPD_OCCUPANCY
v DSM_FSUPD_CAPACITY
v DSM_FSUPD_BACKSTARTDATE
v DSM_FSUPD_BACKCOMPLETEDATE
For a description of these bit masks, see the DSM_FSUPD definitions in the
following topic: Appendix B, “API type definitions source files,” on page 155.
Return codes
The following table lists return codes for the dsmUpdateFS function call.
Table 55. Return codes for dsmUpdateFS
Return code Return code number Description
DSM_RC_FS_NOT_REGISTERED 2061 File space name is not registered.
DSM_RC_WRONG_VERSION_PARM 2065 The API version of the application
client is different from the Tivoli
Storage Manager library version.
DSM_RC_FSINFO_TOOLONG 2106 File space information is too long.
dsmUpdateObj
The dsmUpdateObj function call updates the meta information associated with an
active backup or archive object already on the server. The application bit data is
not affected. To update an object, you must give a specific non-wildcard name. To
update an archived object, set the dsmSendType to stArchive. Only the latest named
archive object is updated.
You can only start the dsmUpdateObj call in the session state; it cannot be called
inside a transaction because it performs its own transaction. And, you can update
only one object at a time.
Note: On a UNIX or Linux operating system, if you change the owner field, you
cannot query or restore the object unless you are the root user.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmUpdateObj
(dsUint32_t dsmHandle,
dsmSendType sendType,
void *sendBuff,
dsmObjName *objNameP,
ObjAttr *objAttrPtr, /* objInfo */
dsUint16_t objUpdAct); /* action bit vector */
Parameters
The field descriptions are the same as those in dsmSendObj, with the following
exceptions:
dsmObjName *objNameP (I)
You cannot use a wildcard.
ObjAttr *objAttrPtr (I)
The objCompressed field is ignored for this call.
Return codes
dsmUpdateObjEx
The dsmUpdateObjEx function call updates the meta information that is associated
with an active backup or archive object that is on the server. The application bit
data is not affected. To update an object, you must specify a non-wildcard name,
or you can specify the object ID to update a specific archived object. You cannot
use wildcard characters when specifying the name. To update a backup object, set
the dsmSendType parameter to stBackup. To update an archived object, set the
dsmSendType parameter to stArchive.
140 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager: Using the Application Programming Interface
You can only start the dsmUpdateObjEx call in the session state; it cannot be called
inside a transaction because it performs its own transaction. You can update only
one object at a time.
Remember: On a UNIX or Linux operating system, if you change the owner field,
you cannot query or restore the object unless you are the root user. Only the
current active version of a backup object can be updated.
Syntax
dsInt16_t dsmUpdateObjEx
(dsmUpdateObjExIn_t *dsmUpdateObjExInP,
dsmUpdateObjExOut_t *dsmUpdateObjExOutP);
Parameters
dsmUpdateObjExIn_t *dsmUpdateObjExInP
This structure contains the following input parameters:
dsUint16_t stVersion (I)
The current version of the structure that is used.
dsUint32_t dsmHandle (I)
The handle that associates this call with a previous dsmInitEx call.
dsmSendType sendType (I)
The type of send that is being performed. The value can be:
stBackup
A backup object that is sent to the server.
stArchive
An archive object that is sent to the server.
dsmObjName *objNameP (I)
A pointer to the structure that contains the filespace name, high-level
object name, low-level object name, and object type. You cannot use a
wildcard.
ObjAttr *objAttrPtr (I)
Passes object attributes to the application. The values that are updated
depend on the flags in the objUpdAct field. The objCompressed attribute is
ignored for this call.
The attributes are:
v owner changes the owner if a new name is entered.
v sizeEstimate is the actual amount of data that is sent in bytes. The
value is stored in the Tivoli Storage Manager meta data for future use.
v objCompressed is a Boolean value that states whether or not the object
data have already been compressed.
v objInfo is an attribute that contains the new information to be placed in
the objInfo field. Set the objInfoLength to the length of the new
objInfo.
v mcNameP contains the name of a management class that overrides the
management class that is obtained from dsmBindMC.
dsUint32_t objUpdAct
Specifies the bit masks and actions for objUpdAct are:
DSM_BACKUPD_MC
Updates the management class for the object.
