Re: Backup schedule thru ESP

The RunAsService option allows a client process which is started during an
interactive logon session to remain running when the
account running the interactive session logs off. This option is useful when
scheduling background
batch jobs or for allowing a long running client process started by an
interactive user to remain
running when the account which started it logs off. If may or may not be needed
when the client
process is started via a service such as the NT Schedule service (depends on
when the job starts,
what account the service runs under, etc.). In general this option should
always be turned on when
running dsmc as a batch job although it is not always needed.

This option is currently undocumented (I added it when I wrote the ADSM client
service) but will be
will be documented the next time the books are updated.

Hope this answers your question ...

I saw your posting on ADSM-L... What is the purpose of the "runasservice" option
to the dsmc command???

Try running the following batch file with the NT AT command.
Comments should be self explanatory.
Hope this helps ....

Environment
ADSM server -  NT 4.0 SP3
          ADSM 3.1.2
Distributed server - NT 4.0 SP3
                Oracle Dbase
Is anyone using ESP workload manager extension for Windows NT V1.1 to start
an incremental backup. We are trying to coordinate the following:
1. Mainframe runs a job on CIS
2. next we need a batch job on NT distributed server to run
3. then ADSM backup to run - which I have pre and post schedule commands to
shut down and restart Oracle dbases
4. then another batch job on NT distributed server
We would like to use ESP to schedule all of this. My question is how to
start an incremental via bat file, when user not logged on to NT server. I
have a bat file that works while logged on , but how can I get the ESP
agent to execute bat file to start incremental. (Does this make sense??)
