Several Sessions running on TSM server with no active processes are using scratch tapes

Hi everyone.
My tsm server is filled with sessions but no proceses are running. For example:

tsm: OSSTSM01>q sess

Sess Comm. Sess Wait Bytes Bytes Sess Platform

792 Tcp/Ip MediaW 30.4 H 404 1.0 K Node WinNT
1,208 Tcp/Ip Run 0 S 11.0 K 496 Admin WinNT

This all sessions are running but no processes are active on the tsm server. The problem is that all these sessions are using scratch tapes.

What should i do?

Thanks in advance.
