    Thank you for submitting this enhancement request, and please accept my apology for the long delay in replying, we have provided this function to automatically turn on CBT (when the appropriate pre-requisites are met) with 6.2.2 back in 2011, there might be something in your specific environment that needs to be addressed and this should be treated via the PMR/APAR route and not as a product enhancement, please open a support call on this issue.

    Thanks for submitting this enhancement request, we did not see enough details in this requirement to have a significant discussion and a meaningful response, please provide more details about this requirement including the business reason (impact to SLAs, reduced RPO etc.), technical functionality  (what are you trying to achieve, and why do you think it should be done in this specific way etc.), some additional details about your current environment (for example a TSM 6.2 server running on AIX, the client is running on RHEL etc.) and any particular reason why the current implementation and best practices aren't meeting your requirements we believe that what you're describing in your request is the actually the way TSM for VE 6.3 is currently behaving
