Hi Steve,

Not sure off the top of my head, but what you might want
to try right off are:

1.  double check your schedule and make sure that your
client (aka node) is associated with that schedule.

2.  on your client machine, make sure the schedule is
running and sending output to a log file (most default
options have this going to /var/adm/adsmsched.log).

3.  again, on the client, run dsmc sched and see if
a schedule is returned from the server - if not, it
should produce an error that points you in the right
direction.
