Tim - Do 'dsmc q opt' to verify your client options...

CAD's mission is to fire up the dsmc schedule process, where a
failure of dsmc is most commonly due to a bad options change.  If not
that, then look for a prevailing dsmc schedule process, perhaps
lingering from a prior schedule.

Hello,

Has anyone ever had trouble staring TSM services on a windows
client and received the following message in the dsmwebcl.log
and Dsmerror.log shows the following.

ANS1977E Dsmcad schedule invocation was unsuccessful - will try
again in 10 minutes.

The next backup start time/date schedule never shows up I have
tried several times and no luck.

TSM  5.3.2.1
AIX 5.3 RS/6000

TSM Windows clients version  5.3
Platform windows 2000

I  have read a couple of Threads on this but not much there.

Thanks for any help!
