[tsmuser13]

Hi friends

we are having prblems with our AIX backup schedule from last one week. the backup schedule for our our AIX machine is being missed everyday and when i check the log i get the following message:

09/27/10 10:24:40 ANS2050E TSM needs to prompt for the password but cannot prompt because the process is running in t
he background.
09/27/10 10:24:41 ANS2050E TSM needs to prompt for the password but cannot prompt because the process is running in t

09/27/10 10:24:49 ANS1977E Dsmcad schedule invocation was unsuccessful. This command will be tried again in 10 minutes

dsmc q sched -se=tsm
as root should set the encrypted password again in /etc/security/ADSM
Not sure if you have to restart the scheduler afterwards

hi Jeroen

many thanks for your reply. I am glad to say your command worked. Although i had to re-start the scheduler afterwards.

Again, really thankful for you help and advice.

cheers
