Take TSM DB backup if you notice these messages in TSM activity log

TSM DB should be backedup in regular intervals in order to recover in case of any disaster. A best practice is to schedule regular backups of the server database, and verify that they occur as scheduled. You can also monitor the server activity log for the following messages, which might indicate the need to back up the database. Take action as the message help suggests

TSM Actlog messages which requires TSM DB backup immediately

1) ANR0293I
Reason for the message being issued
The server is performing an online reorganization for the table referenced in the message.
Online table reorganization consumes log space. As a result of the log use because of database reorganization, a database backup might become necessary to manage the available active log space.
Suggested action
Monitor the available space in the active log and archive log storage paths. If the space available in the storage path for either log begins to fill up, issue a BACKUP DATABASE command with the TYPE=FULL parameter. A full database backup causes the pruning of obsolete archive files in the archive log space.
