When you run the schedule command,
all messages that regard scheduled work are sent to the dsmsched.log file
or to the file you specify with the schedlogname option
in your client options file (dsm.opt). If you do not specify a directory
path with the file name in the schedlogname option,
the dsmsched.log resides in the current working directory.

in the /Library/Logs/tivoli/tsm/ directory.
Important: To prevent log write failures and process termination
in certain cases, set the DSM_LOG environment variable to name a directory
where default permissions allow the required access.
