Nevermind - I think I'm defaulting to a different node, when I log into TSM. That's the reason why the query hangs. I haven't figured out how to set it to the appropriate node..

A "query contents" helped..it returned file_names which were identical to my RMAN piece names. As what one wd expect..

I think I'm on the right track. I should be able to figure it out from here. Need to pore over the TSM admin manual..

Thanks for your help, Jodie.
