Scheduling options

This topic discusses the options that you can use to regulate central scheduling. Tivoli® Storage Manager uses scheduling options only when the Scheduler is running.

Table 1 lists the scheduling options that are available.

Table 1. Scheduling options

Option	Description
managedservices	Specifies whether the Storage Manager client acceptor daemon manages the Web client, the scheduler, or both.
managedservices	Specifies whether the Storage Manager client acceptor service manages the Web client, the scheduler, or both.
maxcmdretries	Specifies the maximum number of times the client scheduler attempts to process a scheduled command that fails.
postschedulecmd/postnschedulecmd	Specifies a command to process after running a schedule.
preschedulecmd/prenschedulecmd	Specifies a command to process before running a schedule.
queryschedperiod	Specifies the number of hours the client scheduler waits between attempts to contact the server for scheduled work.
retryperiod	Specifies the number of minutes the client scheduler waits between attempts to process a scheduled command that fails or between unsuccessful attempts to report results to the server.
runasservice	Forces the client command process to continue running, even if the account that started the client logs off. Use this option on all Windows clients.
schedcmddisabled	Specifies whether to disable the scheduling of generic commands specified by your Tivoli Storage Manager administrator.
schedcmduser (server defined only)	The scheduler executes commands under a uid of 0, however, there might be some users who have a different user ID. In this case, your Tivoli Storage Manager administrator can define schedules and allow these schedules to be executed under a uid other than 0, using this option. The Tivoli Storage Manager Client API does not support this option.
schedlogmax Schedlogmax	Specifies the maximum size of the scheduler log and Web client log, in megabytes.
schedlogname Schedlogname	Specifies the path and file name where you want to store schedule log information.
schedlogretention	Specifies the number of days to keep log file entries in the schedule log and the Web client log, and whether to save pruned entries.
schedmode	Specifies which schedule mode to use, polling or prompted.
schedrestretrdisabled	Specifies whether to prevent the Tivoli Storage Manager Server administrator from executing restore or retrieve schedule operations.
sessioninitiation	Use the sessioninitiation option to control whether the server or client initiates sessions through a firewall. The default is that the client can initiate sessions.
srvprepostscheddisabled	Specifies whether to prevent the Tivoli Storage Manager Server administrator from executing pre-schedule and post-schedule commands when performing scheduled operations.
srvprepostsnapdisabled	Specifies whether to prevent the Tivoli Storage Manager Server administrator from executing pre-snapshot and post-snapshot commands when performing scheduled image snapshot backup operations.
tcpclientaddress	Specifies a TCP/IP address if your client node has more than one address, and you want the server to contact an address other than the one that was used to make the first server contact. The server uses this address when it begins the server prompted scheduled operation. See schedmode prompted (Schedmode) for details.
tcpclientport	Specifies a TCP/IP port number for the server to contact the client when the server begins the server prompted scheduled operation. See schedmode prompted (Schedmode) for details.
