Controlling command processing

You can run some Tivoli® Storage Manager commands sequentially or concurrently with other commands. You can also route commands from one server to other servers for processing.

About this task

  • Server command processing
    Tivoli Storage Manager processes administrator commands either in the foreground or in the background. Commands that process in the foreground must complete before you can issue another command. When commands are processing in the background, you can issue additional commands at any time.
  • Stopping background processes
    Use the CANCEL PROCESS command to cancel commands that generate background processes.
