Tivoli ADSMPipe

Pipe data directly into Tivoli as backup or archive data instead of storing it to the filesystem; useful for backing up MySQL/PostgreSQL databases to Tivoli as they are not supported by the Tivoli Data Protection suite.

Dependencies

• The Tivoli API package (TIVsm-API / TIVsm-API64)
• GNU Make, the GCC compiler, and a functioning ncompress utility.
• (Optional) The rpmbuild tool for building RPM packages.
• (Optional) The debbuild tool for building DEB packages.

Building Distribution-specific Packages

Clone the repository as usual. Run make with PLATFORM defined, but supply the tar, rpm, or deb target in place of all. The build will place the resulting package in the project root directory (where the Makefile is) and the packages should be ready to install. Ensure you have the Tivoli API packages installed or the program will not function.
