There are two ways to schedule Lotus Notes Connect Agent on NT:
1. If you are to schedule databases backup on an online Lotus Notes server,
use the Lotus Notes scheduler.
2. If you are to schedule databases backup on an offline Lotus Notes server
or on a Lotus Notes client workstation, use the ADSM backup/archive client.
Below are instructions on how to schedule databases backup in each case.
1. By using the Lotus Notes scheduler on an online Lotus Notes server:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
On your Lotus Notes server workstation, open the server's names.nsf database.
On the navigation panel, select Server/Programs/Add Program. A blank Program
document will be opened up. Fill in the required information. For example,
to incrementally backup all databases in the server's data directory each day
at 12:00am, set up the following parameters:
program name: dsmnotes.exe
Command line: incr * -adsmpw=mypw
Server to run on: <your server name>
Comments: <your comments>
Enabled/Disabled: ENABLED
Run at times: 12:00AM each day
Days of week: Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat
Save the Program document.
For more information on setting up the Program document in the names.nsf
database, refer to your Lotus Notes Admin books.
2. By using the ADSM backup/archive client:
-------------------------------------------
Prereq: A node id for the backup/archive client
A node id for the ADSMConnect agent
Admin access to the ADSM server
The easiest way to set up the scheduler is by using the ADSM admin GUI.
From the admin GUI, choose Central Scheduler/BA Schedules. From the
BA Schedules window, select Edit/Add. The Add window will come up. Fill
in the required parameters:
Policy Domain : <your policy domain>
Schedule name : <your schedule name>
Description: <your description>
Associated nodes: <your client node id>
Objects: dsmnotes incr * -adsmpw=mypw
Action: COMMAND
Timing: <Fill in the backup time info>
Add the schedule to the BA Schedules window.
On the NT command window type:
dsmc sched
to activate the scheduler.
The process seems to be complicated but it is pretty straight forward
if it is done through the ADSM admin GUI.

Subject: Re: Lotus Notes Connect Agent on NT
I have also tried many things to get the ADSM scheduler under NT to
schedule the dsmnotes incr command. No success so far. I keep
getting a return code of 1 on the schedule. I have opened a pmr with
IBM. Will let you know if anything good develops.
Has anyone gotten this to work?
Thanks,
