When the script exits the condition code (ERRORLEVEL) of the last command
executed is used as the completion code for the script. In
your example, if the first net stop/start fails and the 2nd one works....then
the script will show zero completion...but it really
half-failed. You could always make this script complete successfully just by
putting any command as the last command that will
always give an ERRORLEVEL of 0. Like ECHO. Then no matter what the rest of the
script does, it will always show as completed
successfully.
The PRESCHEDULECMD is such that if the command returns with a non-zero
condition code, TSM client does not perform the backup.
I think on the POSTSCHEDULECMD you need to check the condition code of the NET
START's to alert you if they fail to start. You could
then be pro-active and get the services going before the users discover it for
you.
This is a good place to start if you need to get it going now, but I really
think you should look at condition code checking and
alerting on errors in the long run.

Thanks to all who responded I need and appreciate all of your help. I am going
to try some if not all of your suggestions. Since I
am new at this type of scripting I am going to Start with the simplist form
first. Here are the two scripts that I placed in the
C: \program files\tivoli tsm\baclient\
REM =====================
REM =====================
REM Tivoli storage manger 5.3.4
REM COMMAND TO START SERVICES
REM ========================
@ECHO OFF
set tsm_dir=c:\Progra~1\TivoliTSM\BaClient
C:

net start "Update Services"
net start "World Wide Web Publishing Service"

REM============================
@ECHO OFF
set tsm_dir=C:\Program files\tivoli\TSM\Baclient
C:
Cd %tsm_dir%
net stop "Update Services"
net stop "World Wide Web Publishing Service"
The dsm.opt file looks like this

William, I understand your logic and condition code checking and I read the
Technote that Andrew pointed out. From what I have been
told if the commands don't work the backup will just fail with a condition
code. A couple of our backups are setup with presched
commands with ASR. If it does fail I will try your Condition Code Script.
I am going to implement this for tonights backup hopefully it will work. If
anyone cares to add anything or see any possible errors
feel free to let me know.
Again Thank you all very much.

Maybe being an ex-programmer, but you have no condition code checking
to make sure that the NET STOP/START commands completed successfully.
If you NET STOP's don't work, do you still want to run the backup? Now if the
last NET STOP command fails, then the preschedulecmd
will return with a non-zero completion code and the backup will not run. Maybe
something like this:
REM StartStuff.cmd
Set LASTCC=0
Set MAXCC=0
Set LOG_FILE=c:\some\path\StartStuff.log
Echo Script start at %date% %time% > %LOG_FILE%
Echo Net stop "Update Services" >> %LOG_FILE% Net stop "Update
Services" >> %LOG_FILE% Set LASTCC=%ERRORLEVEL% If %LASTCC% EQU 0 goto
stop2 Set MAXCC=%LASTCC% Echo Stop of the Update Services service
failed with RC=%LASTCC% >> %LOG_FILE% Goto endit
:stop2
Echo Net stop "World Wide Web Publishing Service" >> %LOG_FILE% Net
stop "World Wide Web Publishing Service" >> %LOG_FILE% Set
LASTCC=%ERRORLEVEL% If %LASTCC% EQU 0 goto endit Set MAXCC=%LASTCC%
Echo Stop of the World Wide Web Publishing Service failed with
RC=%LASTCC% >> %LOG_FILE% Echo Net start "Update Services" >>
%LOG_FILE% Net start "Update Services" >> %LOG_FILE% :endit Echo Script
completed at %date% %time% with RC=%MAXCC% >> %LOG_FILE% Exit %MAXCC%
Now the script will complete with an appropriate return code and give
you all the messages in case you need to try and figure out why it failed.

In the dsm.opt file add:
PRESCHEDULECMD "c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient\StopStuff.bat"
POSTSCHEDULECMD "c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient\StartStuff.bat"
Or
PRESCHEDULECMD c:\progra~1\tivoli\tsm\baclient\StopStuff.bat
POSTSCHEDULECMD c:\progra~1\tivoli\tsm\baclient\StartStuff.bat
In the "c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient" directory add:
StartStuff.bat
Net start "Update Services"
Net start "World Wide Web Publishing Service"
StopStuff.bat
Net stop "Update Services"
Net stop "World Wide Web Publishing Service"
Run the backup normally. The batch has 5 minutes to complete. (I
think)
Test both batch files from the command line to make sure there are not any
dependencies.
I know of no simpler way to stop and start services for a backup.

Tim,
It's defined just like your incremental sched, just set action=command
(default is incremental), then objects=<your script name>
a q sched <sched name> f=d would show:
Policy Domain Name: SPAIX
Schedule Name: STATBKTRACK-FULL

STATDBMS using SQL-BACKTRACK
Action: Command

Thanks Lawerence,
I wasn't aware of that I had planned on putting the following
commands in the dsm.opt file. I have never defined a script schedule before I
am going to have to figure out the correct syntax for
this type of script.
feel free to give example

where it is in the dsm.opt shouldn't matter, but since you want to

you might want to think about defining a schedule that executes a
script to stop your processes, does the incremental, then restarts
them.

Hello,
I need to stop two services before the incremental backup runs then
restart the services once the backup completes. I know about the
prescheduled and postscheduled commands but have never used them.
Where do I insert the commands in dsm.opt file for this to excute
successfully? The following are the two services that need to be
stopped then restarted once backup completes can someone tell me where
I
would
put in the dsm.opt file?
The dsm.opt file is below also.
1)Update Services
2) World Wide Web Publishing Service
Thanks in advance for any help!
