Hi Bill, I saw the same behavior on schedules of type=command. I launched a backup script and even if the script exits with a return code of 8 (exit 8) the event is showed as COMPLETED instead of FAILED. The current versions are: TSM Server 5.1.6.0 on AIX 4.3.3 TSM Client 5.1 on AIX 4.3.3
I think that with the version 4 of TSM the event used to be considered FAILED when the launched command exited with a return code of 8. Regards, Mike Angels -----Messaggio originale----- Da: Bill Boyer [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Inviato: giovedi 25 settembre 2003 16.33 A: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oggetto: POSTSCHEDULECMD failed, but event was successful TSM Client 5.1.6.7 on Windows2000 SP4 TSM Server 5.1.7.1 on AIX 4.3.3 I have coded a PRE and POSTSCHEDULCMD that stops some Oracle services, backups up and then restarts the services. My POSTSCHEDULECMD keeps track of the highest return code and then EXIT %MAXCC%. Testing with this today, my POSTSCHEDULECMD did and EXIT 2, and you see that in the DSMSCHED.LOG file. The problem is that the event itself didn't Fail. Executing Operating System command or script: c:\progra~1\tivoli\tsm\scripts\orastart.cmd 09/24/2003 22:17:10 Finished command. Return code is: 2 09/24/2003 22:17:10 ANS1903W The POSTCHEDULECMD command failed. 09/24/2003 22:17:10 Scheduled event '@166' completed successfully. 09/24/2003 22:17:10 Sending results for scheduled event '@166'. 09/24/2003 22:17:10 Results sent to server for scheduled event '@166'. According to the TSM Client doc: For Windows NT, 2000, XP systems: If the postschedulecmd command does not complete with return code 0, the client will report that the scheduled event completed with return code 8 (unless the scheduled operation encounters a more severe error yielding a higher return code). Why didn't my schedule event finish with Fail?? Anyone seen this behavior? Bill Boyer "Some days you are the bug, some days you are the windshield." - ??
