Goran,

Unless they've changed things recently, dsmcad *only* works with the
parameter '-optfile='.

Don't believe the older documentation either (see apar IC32030).

To make life interesting, on Solaris at least, dsmcad will accept
*anything* supplied on the command line, ignore it, and then sit there in
the process table doing nothing whatever.  It may even grab a listen port
as well - which it will ignore.  For example "dsmcad -trash=rubbish
-garbage" will appear to work.  The httpport must be specified in the
dsm.sys file, the appropriate stanza of which is in turn pointed to by the
dsm.opt file.

This is what one of ours looks like:

 root   319     1  0   Jan 08 ?        0:02 /bin/dsmcad
-optfile=/bin/dsm_tv7.opt


Regards

Dave

[ADSM-L] dsmcad vs. dsmc sched






hi all,
just a quick one ...

i'm aware that dsmc sched can work with -se or -virtualnodename parameter
but does dsmcad works this way also ?
i belive not coz it invoces the dsmc shed command, right ?

that would be the anwser to my problems, i'm having big trouble setting
mulitple schedules on server with multiple databases and so on via tsm
central scheduler ... in unix client pdf the section "against" setting
multiple schedules is much bigger that "pro's" :-)
anyways ... i'ts time for me to represent some statistics and tables for
each and any schedule and of course i cannont collect them from 200
servers
from dsmerror.log and dsmsched.log :-)

damn.
hmm ... okay. thanks for listening
