Bill,

thanks for your help! I  think I have resolved the problem with the service! Since we run the ADSM-Client without a password, I let this parameter blank! It seems that this was the problem. After given him a password, the service started.

 

Well, trimming the log file this way is not exactly what I'm looking for: We have an Operator who checks if the BACKUP is doing well. He needs only the final statistics: how many files transfered, what are the files where the backup failed; he don't need other details!  Is it possible to control the output that way?

Erwin,

 

You can trim the log file with the option

 

schedlogretention x

 

where x is a number of days prior to today.  I usually put in an errorlogretention at the same time to make certain the error log doesn't grow unbounded, also.

 

I've never had trouble removing the schedule with dsmcutil.  Try a dsmcutil list command to ensure that it really got removed.  If not, the remove command should look like:

 

dsmcutil remove /name:"ADSM Scheduler" 

 

with whatever you named the service between the "".

Hello,

 

I have two problems:

 

1)  I started the ADSM-scheduler  (Client Version 3.1)  on WinNT 4.0 as a service.  Then I removed it with the command  'dsmcutil rem' and now  I'm not able to start it again. 

2) The Log-File is a monster, especialy after a full: Is there a possibility to control the output of the Log-File (reduce it to the essentials!)?

 

 Is there anyone out there who can offer advice on this!

 

Thanks in advance

Erwin
