process on the workstation. Once you start the client scheduler, further
intervention is not necessary.
Note: The schedule start time is based on the server clock, not the client
clock. This makes it easier for you to manage schedule start times for clients
in different time zones.
With regard to scheduling, you may also want to:
Display information about available schedules.
Display information about work that the schedule has completed.
Modify scheduling options in the client options file.
Note: Make sure that you have the Tivoli Storage Manager administrative
command-line client installed and that the client-server communication is
working correctly before you attempt to start the client scheduler service.
You cannot start the client scheduler from the Tivoli Storage Manager GUI.
4.7.1 Starting the client scheduler
You can start the Tivoli Storage Manager client scheduler either manually or with
each system start. If you change the client options files while the client scheduler
is running, it must be stopped and re-started to pick these up.
However, for Windows clients, if you chose to have the scheduler managed by
the Client Acceptor Daemon (CAD), in step 3 on page 151, this is not required.
CAD reads the client options file whenever an operation, such as scheduled
incremental backup, is performed; therefore, it can pick up options file changes
dynamically.
Manual start
Note: The client scheduler can only be started by a Tivoli Storage
Manager-authorized user. This is a user who has administrative authority for
the Tivoli Storage Manager client on a workstation. This user changes
passwords, performs open registrations, and deletes file spaces.
You can manually start up the Tivoli Storage Manager scheduler if it was
accidentally stopped, if you want to re-start it to pick up a changed client option,
or if you want to force it to run immediately, for example, while testing a new
function.
