Greetings, In order for a Define Clientaction to work right away, you have to either restart the scheduler service (or daemon) so it checks for the next schedule, or run the client in 'schedmode prompted' mode. I don't think you mentioned if you were in 'schedmode prompted' or not. If not, add that to your options file and restart the service. It should start within five minutes. We do 5-10 of these every day at least. Another problem that can happen is IP problems between the server and client, like not being able to resolve the host name, or some such. But if regular schedules have been running OK, it probably isn't that. The activity log will show you if the TSM server is trying to start the schedule, and if the client is ignoring the server, or rejecting the connection, or whatever. You should check the activity log. It you are in 'schedmode polling' instead of 'prompted', you won't get anything in the activity log, because the TSM server is content to wait until the client happens to check to see if a new schedule has been created for it.
