To start the client scheduler on your client node and connect to the server
scheduler, enter the dsmc schedule command from the operating system prompt,
as shown in Example 4-16. You will be prompted to type in the password unless
you have set the PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE option in the client option file
(dsm.opt). The scheduling requirement is one of the strongest reasons for
recommending the PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE option. If you do not
specify this you will always be prompted for a password unless you include it in a
script file or use the PASSWORD client option in the option file. Either possibility
is undesirable. There is probably no one around to enter the password, and
entering it in a script or in the option file in plain text exposes a security risk.
Since a schedule has been defined for this client, the output shows the details
and specifies when it will execute. The scheduler will remain "quiet" until
contacted by the server to start the operation.
