Literally true: there has to be a client acceptor of some kind so that a session is initiated, which is typically via dsmCAD, which should adhere to client port specifications.
define clientaction OWGORAD4 domain=UNIX90 action=restore objects=/user/bill/myfile.txt ... Will this create a 1 time job that will push the file or directory listed in "objects" to the client machine?
Yes - It will incite the initiation of a session. You want SCHEDMODe PRompted, for the server to do the initiating, which gets it done more, um, promptly. When using PRompted, watch out for PRESchedulecmd and POSTSchedulecmd, which would thus get invoked every time. The client manual lays out the methodology of using firewalls, including defining in the server the port to be used to talk to the client.
