If you have run into the following problem that we are having with the Windows 
NT
scheduler client and can offer a solution, we would appreciate it very much.

Server: AIX version 1.2.0.9
Client: Windows NT 2.1.0.2
Scheduler: Started in a command line window with the dsmc schedule command. This
            window is then either left as is or minimized.
Problem: The scheduler would get hung in limbo and never seem to wake up to poll
         the server or perform backups at the scheduled time. One symtom that we
         have seen with an open window is that the timer stops decrementing.
         Another symtom is that the window starts rolling after we restored the
         window which had been minimized.

I have reported problem to IBM and verified that the way we are starting the
scheduler is valid, meaning that the scheduler does not have to be started as a
Window NT service. So far, we have not gotten any response other than running a
services trace.

Also, has anybodyelse noticed the dramatic increase in response time from the
ADSM level 2 support? Is this the result of a re-organization or down-sizing 
that
we are just noticing?
