We have not had an issue with the clients set to prompted and issuing a define clientaction NODE action=i on the TSM server. Sometimes there is a few minutes between the command and the start of the job.

I need to do this periodically to test client options, debug connection problems and the like. To date I have not been successful. My procedure has been: associate a node with a test schedule; update the test schedule starttime parameter to 'now' or some arbitrary time; run 'dsmc q sched' on the client. The starttime expires, but nothing happens. I have tried both schedmode polling and prompted on the client. In both cases there is no server/client communication. Our randomization percentage is set to 50. The client is running dsmcad. How does one get a schedule to start at will? Both server and client run on Linux. The first at 5.4.0.3 and the second at 5.5.1.10 With my thanks, Keith Arbogast This e-mail (including any attachments) is confidential and may be legally privileged.
