Schedlogname

The schedlogname option specifies the path and file name where you want to store schedule log information.

Use this option only when you want to store schedule log information. This option applies only when the scheduler is running.

If this option is not used, the dsmsched.log file is created in the same directory as the dsmerror.log file.

When you run the schedule command, output from scheduled commands appears on your screen. Output is also sent to the file you specify with this option. If any part of the path you specify does not exist, the client attempts to create it.

Supported Clients

This option is valid for all clients. The IBM Spectrum Protect™ API does not support this option.

Options File

AIX operating systems Linux operating systems Oracle Solaris operating systems Mac OS X operating systems Place this option in the client system-options file (dsm.sys) within a server stanza. You can set this option on the Scheduler tab, in the Schedule Log text box, in the Preferences editor.

Windows operating systems Place this option in the client options file (dsm.opt). You can set this option on the Scheduler tab, in the Schedule Log text box, in the Preferences editor.

Note: Set the DSM_LOG environment variable to name a directory where the log is to be placed. The directory specified must have permissions which allow write access from the account under which the client is run. The root directory is not a valid value for DSM_LOG.

Syntax

Parameters

filespec

Specifies the path and file name where you want to store schedule log information when processing scheduled work. If any part of the path you specify does not exist, the client attempts to create it.

Windows operating systems If you specify a file name only, the file is stored in your current directory. The default is the current working directory with a file name of dsmsched.log.

AIX operating systems Linux operating systems Oracle Solaris operating systems Mac OS X operating systems If you specify a file name only, the file is stored in your current directory. The default is the current working directory with a file name of dsmsched.log. The dsmsched.log file cannot be a symbolic link.

For Mac OS X, if you specify a file name only, the file is stored in your default folder. The default directories are:
