Curtis,

On all servers we use a service (a.k.a. dsmc sched).

Richard,

The technote comes very close, but on this machine backups all went ok,
but when I look in the dsmsched.log the service hangs between
communication with the server when the next schedule is due (we let them
poll every hour). I will give the solution from the technote a go (just to
be on the safe side).

Richard.

See IBM site Technote 1192096 for one, known cause of that problem.
