Nick, The 6.2 Windows Backup/Archive Installation and User's Guide, page 209, says dsmcad is the preferred scheduling method. Also, Tivoli Storage Manager traditional scheduler services "Requires higher use of system resources when idle" and "Restart the traditional scheduler periodically to free system resources previously used by system calls."
The scheduler service has a memory leak. It is unlikely that DSMCAD is deprecated.

A colleague insists that TSM service once told him that DSMCAD would be deprecated and that we need to convert to using the TSM Scheduler routinely. The TSM 6.3 client manuals, however, refer to both techniques as valid choices. Has anyone ever been told by IBM that DSMCAD had been or will be deprecated, either in general or in very specific cases? Alternately, can anyone point to current IBM recommendations in favor of DSMCAD?
