ManagedservicesThe managedservices option specifies whether the Tivoli Storage Manager clientacceptor service manages the scheduler, the Web client, or both.Restriction: You cannot use the dsmcad for scheduling when you set thesessioninitiation option to serveronly.The client acceptor daemon serves as an external timer for the scheduler. When thescheduler is started, it queries the server for the next scheduled event. The event iseither executed immediately or the scheduler exits. The client acceptor daemonrestarts the scheduler when it is time to execute the scheduled event.Note:1. If you set the schedmode option to prompt, the server prompts the clientacceptor daemon when it is time to run the schedule. The scheduler connects toand disconnects from the server when the client acceptor daemon is firststarted.The dsmc schedule command cannot be used when both schedmode promptand commmethod V6Tcpip are specified.2. Set the passwordaccess option to generate in your client options file (dsm.opt)and generate a password, so Tivoli Storage Manager can manage yourpassword automatically.Using the client acceptor daemon to manage the scheduler service can provide thefollowing benefits:vvMemory retention problems that can occur when using traditional methods ofrunning the scheduler are resolved. Using the client acceptor daemon to managethe scheduler requires very little memory between scheduled operations.The client acceptor daemon can manage both the scheduler program and theWeb client, reducing the number of background processes on your workstation.Supported ClientsThis option is valid for all clients. The Tivoli Storage Manager client API does notsupport this option. The server can also define this option.Options FilePlace this option in the client options file (dsm.opt). You can set this option on theWeb Client tab of the Preferences editor.Syntax►► MANAGEDServices mode ►◄ParametersmodeSpecifies whether the client acceptor daemon manages the scheduler, the Webclient, or both.webclientSpecifies that the client acceptor daemon manages the Web client.Chapter 12.
