Do you have postschedule or preschedule commands?
If so, you session could be waiting for the command
to complete.

Subject: Backup Session on Win2K Client running 5.1.5.2


TSM Server 5.1.7.0
Server OS AIX 5.1

TSM Client 5.1.5.2
Client OS Win 2000

One of our nightly backups is running throughout the night and keeping a 
session open until I kill it the next day.  We occasionally have a couple more 
that have the same behavior but is ALWAYS the case with this one particular 
server.  The session would run forever if I didn't kill it.  We have tried 
restarting services on the client and rebooting the client server to no avail.  
Support pointed me to APAR IC33672 but although we are running in schedmode 
prompted, none of the other conditions exist for us (i.e. server has not bee 
restarted) and most of our servers are completing successfully every night.  
Could the issue be with TSM server?  Could an upgrade of the client possibly 
correct the issue?  

Just wanted to see if anyone on the list has experienced this same issue and 
can shed some light on this...please let me know if I need to provide any 
additional info...

Thanks!
