Enabling or disabling scheduled commandsWhere supported, you can use the schedcmddisabled option to disable thescheduling of commands by the server. Commands are scheduled by using theaction=command option on the DEFINE SCHEDULE server command.The schedcmddisabled option does not disable the preschedulecmd andpostschedulecmd commands. However, you can specify preschedulecmd orpostschedulecmd with a blank or a null string to disable the scheduling of thesecommands.You can use the schedrestretrdisabled option to prevent the Tivoli Storage ManagerServer administrator from executing restore or retrieve schedule operations.Where supported, you can use the srvprepostscheddisabled option to prevent theTivoli Storage Manager Server administrator from executing pre-schedule andpost-schedule commands when performing scheduled operations.On UNIX and Linux or Windows clients, you can use the srvprepostsnapdisabledoption to prevent the Tivoli Storage Manager Server administrator from executingpre-snapshot and post-snapshot commands when performing scheduled imagesnapshot backup operations.Related reference“Schedcmddisabled” on page 383The schedcmddisabled option specifies whether to disable the scheduling ofcommands by the server action=command option on the define schedule servercommand.“Schedrestretrdisabled” on page 390The schedrestretrdisabled option specifies whether to disable the execution ofrestore or retrieve schedule operations.“Srvprepostscheddisabled” on page 408The srvprepostscheddisabled option specifies whether to prevent the pre-scheduleand post-schedule commands specified by the Tivoli Storage Manageradministrator from executing on the client system, when performing scheduledoperations.“Srvprepostsnapdisabled” on page 409The srvprepostsnapdisabled option specifies whether to prevent the pre-snapshotand post-snapshot commands specified by the Tivoli Storage Manageradministrator from executing on the client system, when performing scheduledimage snapshot backup operations.Managing multiple schedule requirements on one systemIn certain situations it is preferable to have more than one scheduled activity foreach client system. Normally, you can do this by associating a node with morethan one schedule definition. This is the standard method of running multipleschedules on one system.You must ensure that the schedule windows for each schedule do not overlap. Asingle client scheduler process is not capable of executing multiple scheduledactions simultaneously, so if there is overlap, the second schedule to start will bemissed if the first schedule does not complete before the end of the startupwindow of the second schedule.Chapter 7.
