A better process might be to put the Reclamation last on the list of
things to run. In other words instead of stopping reclamation to do
other things, do all other things first and then run reclamation.
Or you could create a script to get the process number for reclamation
processes and then cancel them one by one. But, that's not the safest
way to do it, because a process won't stop until it's ready anyway.
If your script keeps trying to cancel the same process over and over
without a check, it could cause other issues.
You could do something like:
If reclaim is running
Get reclaim process num
Cancel process num
If reclaim is running
Update sched starttime=now+00:05
Otherwise exit
This would wait 5 mins before running the script again. If you have
multiple processes you would need a way to check uniqueness, and handle
lists of numbers. It could get messy, and you'd need a fairly high
level of scripting skills. I'd think if you did this at the OS level,
instead of using TSM's scripts you might be able to do it with more
control and simplicity.
So, I'd go back to the do other things, then run reclamation if it's at
all possible.
