I figured this to be the case, but wanted more confirmation. We'll dig more into the command file itself.

Look carefully at the "consistent client return codes" feature of ITSM v5.1 clients. In version 4.2 and below even if preschedulecmd failed the backup was run (and completed). If you want this behavior wrap your command in a script which always returns zero return code (as described in B/A Client's guide). However it is better to dig down the actual reason for non-zero return code.

We have a node that runs a nightly cmd file to do shutdown a DB, do some cleanup, run a TSM backup, then start the DB back up again. Ever since I went 5.1.0.1 version on the client the backups return a code of 77. Prior to the upgrade from a 4.x version, this didn't happen. I understand that it has to do with how the command file returns a success or fail code. But how is the newer version interpreting this differently? The processing from the application side appears to be finishing as expected, and we get a backup of the node every night. Just the return code in the logs and event viewer. The only other thing that is occurring is this item from dsmerror.log that occurs at the same time as the command ends. 01/02/2003 01:08:11 ANS1005E TCP/IP read error on socket = 484, errno = 10035, reason : 'Unknown error'. Thoughts??
