I'm running TSM 5.1.5 on OS/390 and backing up Win2K servers running the 5.1.5 client. I issue a "define clientaction nodename action=command object='dsmc backup systemobject'" from the server to each of my clients at the beginning of my backup cycle, followed by a "define clientaction nodename action=incremental" command. The first command gets scheduled right away, but it appears that in many cases the scheduled command takes hours to finish and get out of the way so that the incremental backup can begin. All I see in the server log is that the session times out and that eventually it reconnects and the schedule completes. I don't see any errors in the client log. Any ideas on what might be going on? I do see that the schedule prompter keeps bugging the client to start the incremental; is it possible that this is causing a problem for the client scheduler?
