We almost never use these options because of their lack of error checking.
Even if the command run with the preschedulecmd option fails, ADSM will
blunder onward and attempt to perform the backup. Even if the command run with
the postschedulecmd option fails, ADSM will report successful completion of
the overall backup process. Given these fundamental design deficiencies, we
generally run scripts that shut down databases, execute a 'dsmc incremental',
and restart databases, with appropriate error checking at each stage of the
process.
