First, use a Subject line, to track posting threads.

Second, refer to the Messages manual, or 'dsmc help', for the basic
explanation of message meanings, which in this case tells you that it
was 'dsmc sched' that itself was a background process, and because it
is running in the background it can't prompt for the password it
needs in order to proceed.

Before you run any schedules, you need to perform a basic client-
server interaction, like 'dsmc q sess', as root, to have the client
password stored locally for it to be used automatically in
schedules.  See the manuals regarding setting up scheduled processes.

It looks like it was skipped because some other process was running in

changes have occurred.  I have included part of the messages from the
