Thida,

look at "queryschedperiod" option in dsm.sys (or dsm.opt where dsm.sys is
not used). By default it is 12 hours but you can make it 1 hour. When this
time expires the client contacts the server and looks for new schedules.
This is for polling mode.
In prompted mode the client is always ready to answer server requests (i.e.
schedules). But this also means selected TCP port to be always opened on
the client. Sometimes this might not be desirable for security reasons.

(prompt/client polling/any)

Thanks Rajesh,
        I've check dsm.opt in client it was not define in..... is it
default
"client polling"?
And if I set to be prompted both client and server, Can I set schedule in
server with out restart client schedule process? Will it be backed up?
        Now every time if I change schedule I need to restart dsmc sched
every time (except it will run after 12 hrs from previous schedule)

root@sgsap13 # vi /usr/lpp/adsm/bin/dsm.opt
"/usr/lpp/adsm/bin/dsm.opt" 28 lines, 670 characters

Thida,
You have to set up Prompted at both the Server and the Client options. If
you want to have a mix of both Polling and Prompted, set up Schedmode as
ANY
on the Server. At the client side you have to have an option
SCHEDMODE  PROMPTED in the dsm.opt file.
What the poblem with your config seems to be is that you have set up
Prompted on the Server and on the client side it is setup as Polling.
