To All:

AIX 4.3.3
TSM server/client 3.7.3

We are backing up our Oracle dbs and AIX OS with TSM 3.7.3 (upgrading to
4.2 very soon!).

We have been using server-prompted schedmode for the client for some 3
years now. No problems.

We are investigating ways to make our backups more efficient and our DBA
wants to trigger the client schedule from an event.

The event is the completion of doing hotbackups of our Oracle dbs. The
event script would create a lockfile during the Oracle hotbackups, and then
remove the lockfile when the hotbackups are done.

Is there a way to then trigger the client schedule based upon the removal
of the lockfile?

Your input is appreciated??
