Tivoli Header
Tivoli Storage Manager Using the Application Program Interface
The X/Open API enables an application client to use the TSM storage
management functions. The X/Open API consists of a set of function
calls that an application client can use to perform the following
operations:
- Start or end a TSM session.
- Assign management classes to objects before storing them on a TSM
server.
- Backup or archive objects to a TSM server.
- Restore or retrieve objects from a TSM server.
- Query a TSM server for information about objects that are stored on the
server.
- Delete backed-up and archived objects from a TSM server.
When you, as an application developer, install the X/Open API, you receive
the following:
- The following files that an end user of an application would need:
- The X/Open API shared library
- Sample client options files
- Documentation.
- The source code for the three X/Open API header files that your
application needs.
- The source code for a sample application and the makefile to build
it.
