What has changed

Scheduling wizard updated to support IBM Spectrum Protect™ client scheduler
  • If you use the scheduling wizard on MMC to create a scheduled data protection task, you can now choose a IBM Spectrum Protect client scheduler to manage the scheduled operation. When you select the IBM Spectrum Protect client scheduler check box, a macro file is created that automatically contains the relevant IBM Spectrum Protect server commands you require to create a scheduled task. You can specify IBM Spectrum Protect server details, such as administrator user details and the port and address of the IBM Spectrum Protect server. You can also edit the created macro file according to your requirements.

    You can access the scheduling wizard in MMC by clicking Manage> Scheduling in the navigation tree or from the Actions pane by clicking the Run Interactively button to change the mode to Run Scheduled.
