Larry:

Unfortunately, the use of the DSMCUTIL is still the only method available
for scheduler installation --- most of us ended up writing batch files to
make the install quick and relatively painless for NT-based clients. There
were quite a few of us making noise about the new DSMCUTIL when the new
V3R11 files came available. However, if memory serves correctly, IBM stated
it would be changing this back to its V2 format, albeit ugly and
novell-like (or at least that was the consensus the last time it was
complained about), but I don't know that this has transpired.

Check out the README files associated with the webshell --- they're fairly
concise (in other words you don't have to have ESP to figure out anything
unusually cryptic).

Good luck!

Larry,
I went over this with an ADSM techie sometime ago.  You've got it right.
The command line DSMCUTIL program is the only way to install the service
under the new version.  :-(
Sorry I don't have any insight on your second question.
Good luck,

Subject:  ADSM 3.1 Scheduler NT Service



I just installed ADSM 3.1 Level 0.1 on an NT client.  I seem to remember
in ADSM 2.0 that the installation provided a menu for installing the
ADSM scheduler in NT services.  The new ADSM installation does not
provide this option in the installation.  I had to use the Dsmcutil
utility to install the service.  Is this the normal procedure for this
version of the client software?
Also, I am now wondering how I start the client Webshell,  from services
or a startup script.
