I am not sure if anyone else has had any issues with this but I am trying to use AutoMailer Freeware 1.4.6 to send me the three files needed to recover a TSM server in the case of a crash or rebuild and I have not received one since July 11th of 2008. Everytime it goes to poll it says 'Nothing to Do'. I am not sure if anyone else uses this and has had issues or if anyone has any other suggestions on how to get these reports emailed to you but any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am guessing you are on Windows. Are you sure that the "prepare" command is running daily? The configuration files are always there so I suspect that your script may have a flaw.

Me and another guy recently took over from someone who left the company. I am not sure if they had one in the past and now it is gone or what. Is it just a regular command, possibly one that should be on the administrative scheduler? If so, would the command 'prepare' take care of it or are there other parms that need to go in as well?

Thanks for the quick response.

Just looked through and there is no prepare command defined within the Admin Schedule. I tried running the following command and received the error messages that follow after that. Once I am able to find a command that works, I will put it on the admin schedule for sure!

Are you using DRM? If you are not, the prepare command does not mean much to you. All you may need to save are the configuration files.
 
PREDATAR Control23

Yes, we are.

We are getting farther then before. Once running this command :
prepare devclass=edps_tsm planprefix=D:\DRM\RECPLANS\ instrprefix=D:\DRM\

We are now receiving this as an error message.

ANR2017I Administrator SERVER_CONSOLE issued command: PREPARE devclass=edps_tsm
planprefix=D:\DRM\RECPLANS\ instrprefix=D:\DRM\
ANR0984I Process 158 for PREPARE started in the BACKGROUND at 11:44:10.

Any ideas?

The prepare command assumes that the locations are there and available. Specify the "prepare" environment via "set" command:

set drmplanprefix; do a "help set drmplanprefix" for more details.

I use the prepare command without the optional parameters since I have defined the environment it works in.

You can see what has been set if you type the command:

q drmstatus
