Do you have SharedMem  set as the comm method  in your dsm.sys file?

COMMmethod             TCPip  or  SharedMem

What is the last entry in your dsmsched.log, does it show that its waiting
for the server to contact it or does it recognize that there is a schedule
for it to execute?

Subject:  AIX Client using SHMEM not backing up..


I have TSM server 4.2.1 on AIX 4.3.3 and TSM client 4.2.1 all on the same
machine (b80).

Everytime the client scheduler starts an incremental backup I get numerous
open/closed sessions on the TSM ACtlog but never any files being backed up.
I have no error message in dsmerror.log or dsmsched.log, but the backup
starts but never ends.  a Q EVENT shows me this:

Scheduled Start      Actual Start         Schedule Name Node Name
Status
-------------------- -------------------- ------------- -------------
---------
---------
12/21/01 03:00:00    12/21/01 06:54:00    INCR_ALL      B80           (?)
12/21/01 03:00:00    12/21/01 06:54:00    INCR_ALL      B80           (?)

Now the schedule is supposed to set to start at 03:00 with a 4 hours window
(this is a test environment) and a randomization of 25%.  So the late start
is a bit strange.  But the important thing is I don't backup ANY files, yet
I have no error message except for the session
connecting/idling/disconnecting..

Am I missing something?  Manual backups work fine.

Thanks for the help
