Error description
The "Emailaddress" parameter of the "register admin" command is now used for the new "email alert" function introduced with Tivoli Storage Manager 6.3.4 . But the "Administrator Reference" manual still shows misleading information for this keyword. Example: 1.) The "register admin" command shows : "EMAILADdress Specifies more contact information. The information that is specified by this parameter is not acted upon by Tivoli Storage Manager." 2.) The "query admin" from the same manual shows : "Email Address Applies only to IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Express and is shown for compatibility purposes." This should be corrected . Now "emailaddress" is really used for the email alert function. Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: 6.3.4 and 7.1 All documentations are affected, infocenter, pdf manuals and server help Initial Impact: Low Additional Keywords: TSM , email address OC , operation center , smtp sc239775-05 sc239776-05 sc239777-05 sc239778-05 sc239779-05
