Tivoli Storage Manager Using the Application Program Interface

Using the TSM X/Open API

This section describes how to use the X/Open Application Program Interface. You should be familiar with this section before you design or write an application that uses the X/Open API.

The TSM X/Open API supports the functions in XBSA Data Movement function group. These functions include the following:

The X/Open API also supports the BSAResolveLifecycleGroup. See the X/Open Specification for detailed information on each function.

Note:

The following functions are part of the XBSA Data Movement function group, but are not currently used in the X/Open API. Calls to these functions return the code, BSA_RC_BAD_CALL_SEQUENCE.
BSACreateObjectF
BSAGetObjectF

The API package that you receive includes a sample application. Review the source code for the sample application to see examples of the X/Open API functions in context.
