We've just decided to get rid of the whole TSM scheduler for the most part and go with an external schedular for TSM backups (AutoSys). It fixes the whole "last day of the month, or quarter or whatever" problem easily. It also lets us quit using the TSM scheduler on our clients. This may not be the right answer for you, but it looks like it's going to work fine for us.

You might be able to develop & schedule a little script which a) does a 'delete schedule' b) goes through a loop that performs a 'define schedule' for the 31st/30th/29th/28th (in that order) c) after each 'define schedule' attempt, checks the Return Code (or output of 'q sched') d) exit if/when the 'define schedule' is successful.
Then schedule the script to run on any of the 1st through 28th day of the month.

cc: Subject: Schedule for the last day of the month...every month
I have a client that wants to do monthly backups on the last day of the month. A co-worker did some testing and creating a schedule for say 5/31/3002 with PERU=MONTH. The June event gets scheduled for 6/30, but then remains the 30th day from then on. Until Feb next year when it moves to the 29th.
Outside of creating a schedule for each month with a PERU=YEAR, is there a way to do a schedule on the last day of every month??
