The following prompt is displayed at the bottom of thescreen:Press 'Q’ to quit, 'C’ to continuous scroll, or 'Enter’ tocontinue.ExamplesOptions file:scrollprompt yesCommand line:-scrollp=yesThis option is valid on the initial command line and in interactive mode. If youuse this option in interactive mode, it affects only the command with which it isspecified. When that command completes, the value reverts to the value at thebeginning of the interactive session. This is the value from the dsm.opt file unlessoverridden by the initial command line or by an option forced by the server.Use the sessioninitiation option to control whether the server or client initiatessessions through a firewall. The default is that the client initiates sessions. You canuse this option with the schedule command.For the client scheduler, it is unnecessary to open any ports on the firewall. If youset the sessioninitiation option to serveronly, the client will not attempt to contactthe server. All sessions must be initiated by server prompted scheduling on the portdefined on the client with the tcpclientport option. The sessioninitiation optiononly affects the behavior of the client scheduler running in the prompted mode. Ifyou set the sessioninitiation option to serveronly, with the exception of clientacceptor daemon-managed schedulers, the command-line client, backup-archiveclient GUI, and Web client GUI still attempts to initiate sessions.Important: You cannot use the dsmcad for scheduling when you set thesessioninitiation option to serveronly.Note: If you set the sessioninitiation option to serveronly, the client setup wizardand scheduler service are unable to authenticate to the Tivoli Storage Managerserver. In this case, you can execute scheduler from the command line (dsmcschedule) and enter the password for your node when prompted or use thefollowing dsmcutil command to write the password into the Windows Registry:dsmcutil updatepw /node:nnn /password:ppp /validate:noTo avoid this problem, when configuring the client scheduler using the setupwizard, ensure that the Contact the TSM Server to validate password checkbox onthe TSM Authentication page is unchecked.A similar problem can occur if an encryption key is required for backupoperations. In this case, you can execute the scheduler from the command line(dsmc schedule) and enter the encryption key when prompted. After the passwordand encryption key are updated, you must restart the scheduler.458 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients: Installation and User's Guide
