Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide
The managedservices option specifies whether the Tivoli Storage
Manager Client Acceptor service (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:
- 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.
- Set the passwordaccess option to generate in your
client options, so that Tivoli Storage Manager generates your password
automatically. See Passwordaccess for more information.
Using the managedservices option can provide the following
benefits:
- Memory retention problems that may occur when using traditional methods of
running the scheduler are resolved. Using the CAD to manage the
scheduler requires very little memory between scheduled operations.
- The CAD can manage both the scheduler program and the Web client, reducing
the number of background processes on your workstation.
- By default, if you do not specify the managedservices option,
the CAD manages the Web client to provide backward compatibility.
Supported Clients
This option is valid for all Windows clients.
