To release DB space I am using for TSM 5.5:
1) estimate dbreorgstats
2) dsmserv UNLOADDB devclass=<class> volumenames=<vols>
3) dsmserv LOADFORMAT ...........
4) dsmserv LOADDB devclass=<class> volumenames=<vols>
5) dsmserv AUDITDB fix=yes, if required

It takes time, but works fine.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Reduce DB in 6.2.2.2

Hi,

I have a TSM-Server instance with a 188 GB Database:
Space Used by Database(MB): 188,032

Although deleting several (big) filespaces which are not needed anymore, 
database ist not shrinking. I thought with 6.1 (an 6.2) this is done 
automatically?

Best Regards,
Alex
