Hi Richard, the dsmwebcl.logs shows nothing all it says is ok I am ready to 
backup, however in the morning it will just show the same thing the schedule 
was ready to backup but the Backup never runs? See below it showed it was ready 
to backup at midnite but it didn't backup. This morning it just shows that the 
schedule was ready for backup.

Dsmerrorlog shows this which is nothing and the dates are a few days old

'Ctrl-C' console event.

I don't see anything in the TSM Server Activity log, I did this search before 
the other day and it just shows the ANR2716E message and ANR2578W message. No 
other strange messages appear and as I mentioned the other two servers are now 
backing up ok. Don't know why the other 2 didn't backup the dsm.opt file 
parameters were the same.

tsm: query actlog begindate=today-1 begintime=09:30:00 endtime=12:30:0
 search=clientname
 
Date/Time            Message

                      DOPclientname has missed its scheduled start up window.


I edited the dsm.opt files of the two that are still having issues we will see 
what happens.

Timothy -

We've been advising you to examine two key logs in this problem: the 
dsmwebcl.log produced by CAD, and especially the TSM server Activity Log, which 
contains the most important information about the schedule attempts.
What is recorded in those logs at the schedule times?
