Hi Beatrice

I have the following recommendations, as to where things usually go wrong;

1. Check error log on the client (usually dsmerror.log - but can be
something you have specified yourself), and actlog on the server for more
information.
2. Is the scheduler on your Exchange-server running? Why not?
3. Under what user/permissions is your client scheduler for exchange
running? I usually run the client schedulers through the system account. Are
you sure the user you are using for the scheduler has necessary rights to do
an Exchange Backup. When you start a backup by manually running the cmd, you
run it as the user you logged into windows with.

Hope you can use this :-)

Subject: TDP and proper way to define "objects"


Hello,

We have installed TDP for Exchange on one of our servers and created a
"schedule" specifically for the Exchange piece like it says in the manual.

We also created the "schedule" on the TSM server (AIX). The schedule backup
has never run since we created it and it failes with RC=1. If we run the
Exchange "cammnad.cmd" file manually on the NT, the backup runs. It just
does not run through the scheduler.

My question, when I set the schedule on the TSM server I used "" for the
Object= parameter; something like this:

Object="d:\program files\tsm\tdpexchange\exchange.cmd"

Should I have put "quotations" for the "program files" piece?

Am I missing something else? Permissions? Users?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Beatriz
