For the ADSM-L group: is there a set of sample scripts at IBM or any that get installed for customization? I stepped into an existing shop and didn't have to start with a blank slate as it appears Tom is facing.
In my shop, those tasks (backup, migration, expiration, node replication, reclamation, etc.) are performed via a few Administrative Scripts that include some script logic to test for various conditions. The first script schedules the second script to start at a future time (NOW+00:30 for 30 minutes), then does its own work. When the second script starts, it first tests that script 1 had completed. If the work of script 1 is still running, script 2 reschedules itself to start in "NOW+00:10" (i.e. 10 minutes out). If script 1 was done, Script 2 first creates Script 3 to start in the future, and then does its work. Likewise, Script 3 first tests to see if the work of script 2 had completed. This approach insures that each of the desired tasks runs to completion before the next task starts, and "keeps the ball rolling" so there is a minimum of idle time between the tasks. You said you're new to TSM.... is TSM also new in your environment? It sounds like you're trying to build out the first deployment. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Tom Taylor Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2013 12:38 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Maintenance script schedule problem I am trying to do the database backup, and reclamation and expiration.

Are you seeing the error when CREATING the schedule or attempting to change an existing schedule? For an existing schedule, I select the "Change Schedule Repetition" button, then "Repeat Daily (every one or more days)", the next query is for "Run the schedule every _____ days. The default is 1 day. Then, a prompt for how frequently to run: "Every day", "either Saturday or Sunday", "except Saturday or Sunday", "run on the following days". Picking "run on every day of the week" puts this in the Activity Log: UPDATE SCHEDULE <name> SCHEDULESTYLE=CLASSIC PERIOD=1, PERUNITS=days DAYOFWEEK=ANY TYPE=ADMINISTRATIVE A similar prompting appears on the sequence to create a new schedule. The "Select Repetition Options" panel asks for the date/time, active checkbox, then the "run once", "repeat hourly" and other choices. You'd pick "repeat daily" and should see the same sequence as above. What version of the Admin Center are you running? Expand the Product Information details on the "About" screen to find the installed version. I'm at Administration Center 6.3.4.000. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Tom Taylor Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2013 9:15 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Maintenance script schedule problem Hello, This is my first time posting so please let me know if I missed anything. I am also very new to TSM in general. I am running TSM Server 6.3.3 When I try to schedule the maintenance script I have created to run every day I get an error, but if I choose just one day it works fine. I am trying to edit the schedule from the TIP as I know nothing os the TSM CLI. I receive 3 errors: ANRW0137E the action cannot be completed ANRW0163E additional info from server ANR2612E UPDATE SCHEDULE: Invalid day of week - MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI,SAT,SUN. The script into says that it should be run daily, but if I check anything more than one day I receive these errors. Please help! Thomas Taylor System Administrator Jos. A.
