Title: Migrating Archived documents from TSM back to either System ASP or iASP.
Post by: Sherali Bhamani on December 16, 2016, 09:15:18 AM

Few years back, we had created Tivoli Storage Manager as a separate storage manger for our CMOD running on iSeries. IBM is not going to support TSM APIs anymore on iSeries.

We like to migrate all our archived documents from TSM back to whichever other storage we select on the same instances.

The size of of TSM storage is about 16 TB over 20 instances.

What are our options for migrating to either ASP or iASP or any other storage using same instances?

The TSM APIs were out of support on IBM i effective April 30, 2015.  A support item discussing the alternatives is available in support item "Alternatives for accessing Content Manager OnDemand for i data on Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) storage nodes" at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21976801

If you are using TSM as the storage manager you have two choices:
1) Install an ODMP object server between your IBM i server and your TSM server
2) Use arsdoc get to retrieve all data stored in TSM and store it in new application groups that use ASM as the storage manager
