Querying results of scheduled commands
TSM Server 5.2 on AIX 5.1 TSM Backup/Archive client 5.2 on Windows We have a TSM schedule with an action of command which initiates a command file on a Windows platform. The command file starts a notes backup using TDP for Domino which runs successfully. However, the schedule completes one second after starting, although the actual notes backup has only just started. I see from another posting that our problem lies with the fact that the script is running asynchronously instead of synchronously ie control is returned to the command file after STARTING the notes backup, not after the backup has completed. However the notes backup script follows the structure in the sample command file provided - I would have thought the sample would be appropriately constructed to provide meaningful results to the TSM Server. Can anyone suggest what steps need to be taken to get the desired result? This is the command file, domino.cmd. set dom_dir=C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\domino cd /d %dom_dir% start /B domdsmc selective * /subdir=yes /adsmoptfile=dsm.daily.opt /logfile=domdsm.daily.log dominc.daily.log And here is the schedule Policy Domain Name: DOMINO Schedule Name: 1800_FULL Description: Action: Command Options: Objects: C:\domino.daily.cmd What would I need to do for the script to complete AFTER the domdsmc command has run (and therefore get a meaningful result in response to my q event)? Thanks for your ideas. Regards, Eric Winters Sydney Australia

Re: Expiration
I am having a problem with expiration taking all night to complete! Has anybody seen this? Any suggestions? We used to run expiration during our daytime batch schedule. As our database grew this became a problem. When we tried to run other processes during expiration we ran into log pin problems. Our solution was to script expiration so that it runs for one hour, every other hour, so we get around 12 hours of expiration run every day. This tipically results is several completed expiration processes per day. Since doing this expiration issues disappeared. rick

ANR1163W. Bug?!
Hi ALL, I have found bunch strange messages recently in my act log ANR1163W Offsite volume 758ABP still contains files which could not be moved.. When I did restore stg primary_pool copy=copy_pool preview=yes it completed successfully after few seconds. No volumes requested to restoring, like primary pool is consistent with copy pool. I searched ADSM.ORG and found that in previous discussions about this message were proposed variants to remove or audit offsite volumes or even remove whole storage pool. I did not tried it yet, but before do that can somebody tell me how to make sure that my primary pool is okay. What is that, bug? May be somebody heard something about fixes? I have AIX 4.3.3, adsm server 5.1.8. Clients are mixture of AIX,HP,Windows on versions 5.1.5 and 5.2. The problem appeared during reclamation of offsite storage. Audit db usually takes 3+ days to complete with complete shutdown of all backups. So should be really bad reason to stop the backup process. Thank you in advance for any comments and ideas. Yuriy.
