+====== TSM Accounting ======
+with the administrative switch "SET ACCOUNTING ON" TSM starts accounting on every client session, unfortunately the information on what ist accounted is not documentend in each TSM / ISP version :-(
+It could be found e.g. [[https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSATMW_6.4.0/com.ibm.itsm.srv.doc/t_account_records_tsm_monitoring.html]]:

+Tivoli® Storage Manager accounting records show the server resources that are used during a session. This information lets you track resources that are used by a client node session.
+^ Task ^ Required Privilege Class ^
+| Set accounting records on or off | System |
+At installation, accounting defaults to OFF. You can turn accounting on by using the ''SET ACCOUNTING'' command. When accounting is set to ON, the server creates a session resource usage accounting record whenever a client node session ends.
+  * //AIX operating systems, HP-UX operating systems, Linux operating systems, Oracle Solaris operating systems//\\ Accounting records are stored in the dsmaccnt.log file.\\ The ''DSMSERV_ACCOUNTING_DIR'' environment variable specifies the directory where the accounting file is opened. If this variable is not set when the server is started, the ''dsmaccnt.log'' file is placed in the current directory when the server starts.\\ For example, to set the environment variable to place the accounting records in the /home/engineering directory, enter this command:\\ ''export DSMSERV_ACCOUNTING_DIR=/home/engineering''
+  * //Windows operating systems//\\ Accounting records are stored in a file named dsmaccnt.log, which is located in the server directory.
+The accounting file contains text records that can be viewed directly or can be read into a spreadsheet program. The file remains opened while the server is running and accounting is set to ON. The file continues to grow until you delete it or prune old records from it. To close the file for pruning, either temporarily set accounting off or stop the server.
+There are 31 fields, which are delimited by commas (,). Each record ends with a new-line character. Each record contains the following information:
