Examples: Display information about scheduled work

Schedules can be classic or enhanced, depending on how the interval to the next execution is defined.

Classic schedules allow the period to be as small as an hour. Enhanced schedules allow actions to be executed on specific days.

To view schedules that are defined for your client node, enter: AIX operating systemsHP-UX operating systemsLinux operating systemsOracle Solaris operating systemsMac OS X operating systemsWindows operating systems

AIX operating systemsHP-UX operating systemsLinux operating systemsOracle Solaris operating systemsMac OS X operating systemsThe schedule name, WEEKLY_INC, starts a weekly incremental backup in the /proj file system.

Windows operating systemsThe schedule name, WEEKLY_INC, starts a weekly incremental backup on the e: and f: drives.

The schedule name, DAILY_INC, starts a daily incremental backup. The next incremental backup starts in 30 minutes. Because no objects are listed, Tivoli Storage Manager runs the incremental backup on your default domain. The schedule has no expiration date.

To more accurately determine the status of scheduled events, the query schedule output for an enhanced schedule, on Tivoli Storage Manager Version 5.3 client and above, includes new fields. These fields are always displayed, even if it is a classic schedule or a Tivoli Storage Manager Version 5.3 client session with a pre-Version 5.3 server, but the new fields are blank. Note that for a down-level (prior to Tivoli Storage Manager Version 5.3) client, the server reports the period as indefinite and the day of week as an illegal day. Table 2 displays sample enhanced query schedule output.
