Hi If the application starts as a service in windows then add the following commands to the dsm.opt POSTSCHEDULECMD "net START service_name" PRESCHEDULECMD "net stop service_name"
Eg: POSTSCHEDULECMD "net START TSM SCHEDULER" PRESCHEDULECMD "net stop TSM SCHEDULER" Thanks Mohammed -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Di Genova, Mario Sent: 01 November 2005 11:15 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Essbase backup with TSM We have been asked to backup Essbase from one of our Windows 2000 client machines. This apparently involves stopping the Essbase application prior to backup and restarting it after. We plan to use the Pre and Post schedulecmd client option to run the required scripts. Does anyone have a process/script they could share which describes how you stop and start the app around the TSM backup?
