Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide

Managedservices

The managedservices option specifies whether the Tivoli Storage Manager Client Acceptor daemon (CAD) manages the scheduler, the Web client, or both.

Note:
The Tivoli Storage Manager Client API does not support this option.

See Configuring the CAD to Manage the Scheduler for instructions to set up the CAD to manage the scheduler.

The CAD serves as an external timer for the scheduler. When the scheduler is started, it queries the server for the next scheduled event. The event is either executed immediately or the scheduler exits. The CAD restarts the scheduler when it is time to execute the scheduled event.

Notes:

  1. If you set the schedmode option to prompt, the server prompts the CAD when it is time to run the schedule. The scheduler will connect and disconnect to the server when the CAD is first started.

  2. Set the passwordaccess option to generate in your client options, so that Tivoli Storage Manager generates your password automatically. See Passwordaccess for more information.

  3. The CAD console displays information about the next scheduled event.

Using the managedservices option can provide the following benefits:
