Maybe being an ex-programmer, but you have no condition code checking to make
sure that the NET STOP/START commands completed
successfully. If you NET STOP's don't work, do you still want to run the
backup? Now if the last NET STOP command fails, then the
preschedulecmd will return with a non-zero completion code and the backup will
not run. Maybe something like this:
REM StartStuff.cmd
Set LASTCC=0
Set MAXCC=0
Set LOG_FILE=c:\some\path\StartStuff.log
Echo Script start at %date% %time% > %LOG_FILE%
Echo Net stop "Update Services" >> %LOG_FILE%
Net stop "Update Services" >> %LOG_FILE%
Set LASTCC=%ERRORLEVEL%
If %LASTCC% EQU 0 goto stop2
Set MAXCC=%LASTCC%
Echo Stop of the Update Services service failed with RC=%LASTCC% >> %LOG_FILE%
Goto endit
:stop2
Echo Net stop "World Wide Web Publishing Service" >> %LOG_FILE%
Net stop "World Wide Web Publishing Service" >> %LOG_FILE%
Set LASTCC=%ERRORLEVEL%
If %LASTCC% EQU 0 goto endit
Set MAXCC=%LASTCC%
Echo Stop of the World Wide Web Publishing Service failed with RC=%LASTCC% >>
%LOG_FILE%
Echo Net start "Update Services" >> %LOG_FILE%
Net start "Update Services" >> %LOG_FILE%
:endit
Echo Script completed at %date% %time% with RC=%MAXCC% >> %LOG_FILE%
Exit %MAXCC%
Now the script will complete with an appropriate return code and give you all
the messages in case you need to try and figure out
why it failed.

In the dsm.opt file add:
PRESCHEDULECMD "c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient\StopStuff.bat"
POSTSCHEDULECMD "c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient\StartStuff.bat"
Or
PRESCHEDULECMD c:\progra~1\tivoli\tsm\baclient\StopStuff.bat
POSTSCHEDULECMD c:\progra~1\tivoli\tsm\baclient\StartStuff.bat
In the "c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient" directory add:
StartStuff.bat
Net start "Update Services"
Net start "World Wide Web Publishing Service"
StopStuff.bat
Net stop "Update Services"
Net stop "World Wide Web Publishing Service"
Run the backup normally. The batch has 5 minutes to complete. (I think)
Test both batch files from the command line to make sure there are not any
dependencies.
I know of no simpler way to stop and start services for a backup.

Tim,
It's defined just like your incremental sched, just set action=command (default is
incremental), then objects=<your script name>
a q sched <sched name> f=d would show:
Policy Domain Name: SPAIX
Schedule Name: STATBKTRACK-FULL
Description: The weekly full backup of selected tables on
STATDBMS using SQL-BACKTRACK
Action: Command
Options:
Objects: /home/sybase/dump/dbbkup.s

Thanks Lawerence,
I wasn't aware of that I had planned on putting the following commands in
the dsm.opt file. I have never defined a script
schedule before I am going to have to figure out the correct syntax for this
type of script.
feel free to give example
Tim

where it is in the dsm.opt shouldn't matter, but since you want to

you might want to think about defining a schedule that executes a
script to stop your processes, does the incremental, then restarts
them.

Hello,
I need to stop two services before the incremental backup runs then
restart the services once the backup completes. I know about the
prescheduled and postscheduled commands but have never used them. Where
do I insert the commands in dsm.opt file for this to excute
successfully? The following are the two services that need to be
stopped then restarted once backup completes can someone tell me where
I
would
put in the dsm.opt file?
The dsm.opt file is below also.
1)Update Services
2) World Wide Web Publishing Service
Thanks in advance for any help!
