One solution will be to have the TSM server kick off one and the OS to kick off the other one via crontab or any scheduler program... Allen Barth allen.barth@DB.

Re: dsmcad scheduler and multiple tasks
Hi, Al. I've read some of the other suggestions, but I think the easiest way would be to create two command files. first.cmd start c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient\dsmc.exe inc [whatever] second.cmd start c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient\dsmc.exe inc [whatever] The start will cause the scheduler to fork the dsmc process and exit, thusly freeing the scheduler up for when the second is supposed to run. Then create command schedules that run the cmd files and associate them with the node. You'd still have 1 node, 1 scheduler, central schedules. The only problem is that the dsmc processes won't return an RC to the scheduler, but if that's acceptable, then it should be fine. Good luck.

dsmcad scheduler and multiple tasks
Hello list. Is there any way, or is it possible, to get more than one scheduled event to occur on a client during the same time (or overlapping times) in which the scheduler is controlled via dsmcad?
