What is your QUERYSCHEDPERIOD option set to on your clients? The default is 12 hours, which means the client only checks twice a day to see what it's next scheduled event is. So lets take the following scenario... A client was scheduled for a 10:00 pm backup. It last checked with the server at 11:00 am, so it will not check again before it is scheduled to backup. You change the association from the 10:00 pm schedule to a 8:00 pm schedule. The client is not aware of this change unless you stop/start the scheduler so it will query the server and pick this up. So when 10:00 pm come along, the client connects to the server, and then it finds out that it is no longer associated with the 10:00 pm schedule, so it will not backup, it queries to see what the next event is, and in this case, that would be 8:00 pm then next day.
Had you changed the schedule to a later time, say 11:30 pm, it would indeed pick up the change and backup that night. But you may not always make the change to a later time. We set all of our clients to query every 2 hours, this way most changes will get picked up. You can go this by changing it in each OPT file on each client, or you can use CLIENT OPTIONSET on the server to send this out to all clients, but of course you will need to touch each node to do this also.... If you need more on this, let me know. Ryan Miller Principal Financial Group Tivoli Certified Consultant Tivoli Storage Manager v4.1 -----Original Message----- From: Gill, Geoffrey L.

This always happens from my recollection. No matter what the server version I have been it's happened. The only way I've seen around this is to stop and start the scheduler on the client after the client has been assigned to the new schedule.
