Arnaud,

The extra quotes around the log file name are only needed if you are
running the command from a script or AIX command line. Below I've
used your define schedule command on my TSM server. It fails only
because I don't have a domain named AIX.

[p7tsm:myid] /home/myhome #dsmadmc -id=xxxxx -password=***** def
sched aix
test_sched  act=command  objects='"/tmp/test.sh >/tmp/test.log.`date
'+%d.%m.%Y'` 2>&1"' durunits=minutes duration=10 startt=22:00 peru=o priority=1

ANS8001I Return code 11.

ANS8002I Highest return code was 11.

If you've already started dsmadmc then don't put in the extra quotes.
Below is your define schedule command that I've run and again it
fails only because I don't have a domain named AIX.

tsm: ADSM>def sched aix
test_sched  act=command  objects="/tmp/test.sh >/tmp/test.log.`date
'+%d.%m.%Y'` 2>&1" durunits=minutes duration=10 startt=22:00 peru=o priority=1
ANR1590E DEFINE SCHEDULE: Policy domain AIX is not defined.
ANS8001I Return code 11.

I hope this helps,
Rick

Rick,

Thanks a lot for your feedback. Unfortunately, your solution does
not seem to be working :

>def sched aix
test_sched  act=command
objects='"/tmp/test.sh >/tmp/test.log.`date '+%d.%m.%Y'` 2>&1"'
durunits=minutes duration=10 startt=22:00 peru=o priority=1
ANR2004E Missing value for keyword parameter - +%d.%m.%Y'`.
ANS8001I Return code 3.

Cheers.

Arnaud

Arnaud,

It was unclear whether you wanted the log file on the TSM host or
client. However, I'm assuming that you want to log the output when
the script runs on the client. You'll need to put extra quotes around
the object for this to work. See below:

def sched aix
test_sched  act=command  objects='"/tmp/test.sh >/tmp/test.log.`date
'+%d.%m.%Y'` 2>&1"' durunits=minutes duration=10 startt=now peru=o priority=1
