What is the last entry in your dsmsched.log, does it show that its waiting
for the server to contact it or does it recognize that there is a schedule
for it to execute?

Subject:  AIX Client using SHMEM not backing up..


I have TSM server 4.2.1 on AIX 4.3.3 and TSM client 4.2.1 all on the same
machine (b80).

Everytime the client scheduler starts an incremental backup I get numerous
open/closed sessions on the TSM ACtlog but never any files being backed up.
I have no error message in dsmerror.log or dsmsched.log, but the backup
starts but never ends.  a Q EVENT shows me this:

Scheduled Start      Actual Start         Schedule Name Node Name
Status
-------------------- -------------------- ------------- -------------
---------
---------
12/21/01 03:00:00    12/21/01 06:54:00    INCR_ALL      B80           (?)
12/21/01 03:00:00    12/21/01 06:54:00    INCR_ALL      B80           (?)

Now the schedule is supposed to set to start at 03:00 with a 4 hours window
(this is a test environment) and a randomization of 25%.  So the late start
is a bit strange.  But the important thing is I don't backup ANY files, yet
I have no error message except for the session
connecting/idling/disconnecting..

Am I missing something?  Manual backups work fine.

Thanks for the help
