Schedules can be classic or enhanced, depending on how
the interval to the next execution is defined.
Classic schedules allow the period to be as small as an hour. Enhanced
schedules allow actions to be executed on specific days.
To view schedules that are defined for your client node, enter:
dsmc query schedule
The
backup-archive client displays detailed information about all scheduled work for your client node.

The schedule name, WEEKLY_INC,
starts a weekly incremental backup in the /proj file
system.
The schedule name, WEEKLY_INC, starts
a weekly incremental backup on the e: and f: drives.
The schedule name, DAILY_INC, starts a daily incremental backup. The next incremental
backup starts in 30 minutes. Because no objects are listed, the client runs the incremental backup
on your default domain. The schedule has no expiration date.
To more accurately determine the status of scheduled events, the
query
schedule output for an enhanced schedule, on
IBM® Storage Protect 5.3 client and above, includes new fields.
These fields are always displayed, even if it is a classic schedule or a version 5.3 client session
with a pre-version 5.3 server, but the new fields are blank. Note that for a down-level (prior to
version 5.3) client, the server reports the period as indefinite and the day of week as an illegal
day.

schedule output.
