Yes, you've discovered a new feature. If you are using PRESCHEDULECMD,
then presumably you have some operation that you wish to complete prior to
the scheduled TSM operation (i.e. shut down a database before incremental
backup runs). In 5.1, we changed PRESCHEDULECMD so that if the command
does end with return code 0, then the scheduled operation will not run.
This change was based on user requirements.
>From the use rmanual, in the section on what's new in 5.1:
==================================================
Reliable, consistent, and documented return codes
have been added to the command line client and the
scheduler. This facilitates automation of client
operations via user-written scripts. By using the
QUERY EVENT command with the FORMAT=DETAILED
option, administrators can now distinguish between
scheduled backups that completed successfully with
no skipped files and scheduled backups that
completed successfully with one or more skipped
files. Also if you use the processing option
preschedulecmd to run a command, and that command
returns a non-zero return code, the scheduled
event will not run. This ensures that scheduled
events will not run if prerequisite commands do
not complete successfully. See Return Codes from
the Command Line Interface,
Preschedulecmd/Prenschedulecmd, and
Postschedulecmd/Postnschedulecmd for more
information.
==================================================
Alternatively, if the command does not need to complete prior to running
the scheduled operation, you can use PRENSCHEDULECMD, which runs
asynchronously, and whose return code is not tracked.

Right off the bat on the 5.1 client on WinXP -
preschedulecommand scripts actually return an error level (I'm seeing
RC=12)
that will halt the schedule where they did not with version 4.

Hi Andy!
The 5.1.01 ODBC driver installation does not work. During installation one
is prompted for the location of the file Tivoli Storage Manager ODBC
Driver.msi. If you point to that file (by default:
C:\TEMP\tsmcli\win32\odbc\disk1) it says that it's not a valid
installation
package...

Yes, and be sure to get the 5.1.0.1 Windows clients from the FTP site, vs.
the 5.1.0.0 clients shipped on the CD. As someone pointed out yesterday,
we now have a 4.2.1.32 client to address APAR IC33211 (The TSM V4.2
Windows NT-based client acceptor service may crash if improperly formatted
data is received from the HTTP port), and this APAR is fixed in 5.1.0.1 as
well.
For ODBC driver users, be sure to get the 5.1.0.1 ODBC driver as well.

Andy

Got mine on Monday. I really liked the TSM 5.1 cd with 4.2 functional
