The most effective way to not run a schedule on a certain recurring day is to build an admin schedule which runs a TSM script - The name of your scheduled backup will be different than mine which in this case is "powkarpr2":
tsm: AFCOPS2>q sched updatemontly type=a f=d Schedule Name: UPDATEMONTHLY Description: Command: run updatemonthly Priority: 4 Start Date/Time: 03/31/01 10:00:00 Duration: 1 Hour(s) Period: 4 Week(s) Day of Week: Saturday Expiration: Active?: Yes Last Update by (administrator): GEORGE Last Update Date/Time: 03/23/01 13:17:34 Managing profile: It will run the TSM script "updatemontly" ------------------------------------------------------------ tsm: AFCOPS2>q script updatemontly f=d Name: UPDATEMONTLY Line Number: 1 Command: upd sched satdomain powkarpr2 startd=+1 Last Update by (administrator): GEORGE Last Update Date/Time: 03/23/01 13:12:13 George Lesho AFC Enterprises Kent Monthei <Kent.J.Monthe To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: (bcc: George Lesho/Partners/AFC) Sent by: Subject: Scheduling a client backup to NOT "ADSM: Dist occur 1 day a month - how-to Stor Manager" recommendations needed <[EMAIL PROTECTED] IST.EDU> 03/05/02 02:37 PM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" We have an NT client that's associated with a Solaris TSM Server's daily backup schedule. On the 3rd of every month, an application process runs on the NT client that clashes badly with TSM's scheduled backup, so we've been asked to disable the TSM backup of this client on the 3rd of each month. There's no way to schedule this per-month exception using the Client Schedule parameters. Could someone recommend a tried/tested method for accomplishing this? -rsvp, thanks Kent Monthei GlaxoSmithKline
