Using the TSM Studio Console

The TSM Studio console provides a way to see the console from a single or multiple TSM Servers in one window. Messages can be color coded, filtered or the entire window paused so the messages can be analyzed.

Goto with the Group or TSM Server in the TSM Servers Navigation Window expand down to the Monitor Category and double click on Console

The console window will now be opened and messages from that select TSM Server ( or the TSM Servers in the Group selected will be displayed )

Filtering Messages – The simplest way to stop a message from showing in the console window is to highlight that message, right click on the console window to bring up the context menu and select Filter Message from the menu. This will stop all messages with the selected Message Number from displaying

For more advanced filtering click on the Filter option from the console context menu. This will display the Advanced Filtering Dialog, you can choose to create Exclude Filters which will exclude they console messages that match the input pattern or create Include Filters which will include the console messages that match the input pattern. Include Filters override the Exclude Filters.
