Use the Client Scheduler with the ACTION = COMMAND.  This can be used to run 
any script on the client, including scripts which do administrative functions.

Hey folks,

Is there a way to have TSM execute a command file, but one stored on the
server?

Here's what I'm trying to do:  I want to be able to do a MOVE DRM from my
desktop (where I have dsmadmc running locally), have it generate the
checkin script, and then execute that script.  The reason is that we're
using named private volumes for our offsites, but scratch tapes for our db
backups, and I want to issue the correct checkin status.

Why not just execute dsmadmc on the server?  I could, and I probably will,
but I'm eventually planning on constructing a click-and-drool applet to
make this easier for my other admins when I'm on vacation, and I prefer
location independence -- the app may run on a different box entirely.

Any ideas?

--Jim
