Windows operating systems

Change processing options used by the scheduler service

When you configure the Tivoli® Storage Manager central-scheduling services (the scheduler, the client acceptor, or the remote client agent), some of the processing options that you specify are defined in the Windows registry.

The following options can also be specified in the client options file (dsm.opt).

When the client scheduler runs as a foreground process using the dsmc sched command, the options in the client options file are used. However, when the scheduler runs as a Windows service, the options in the registry are used instead. If you are using the scheduler service and change an option in the dsm.opt file, you must update the corresponding value in the registry as well.
To update the Windows registry value:
Use the Setup wizard in the client GUI. For more information, see Configuring the scheduler.
Alternatively, you can use the dsmcutil utility to change the registry value. For example: dsmcutil update scheduler /name: <service name> /node: <new node name> /password: <new node password>.
Note: After updating the registry, you must restart the scheduler service for the changes to take effect. If you are using client acceptor daemon-managed scheduling this is not necessary because the scheduler is restarted by the client acceptor daemon for each backup.
