The TSM Scheduler provides the capability for TSM to process scheduled operations. For client nodes running on non-Windows platforms, the scheduler is installed when the client or application client software is installed. The scheduler can be started by using the DSMC SCHEDULE command. For Windows NT clients and application clients, the TSM Scheduler must be installed separately.
For more information about installing the TSM Scheduler, see Tivoli Storage Manager Installing the Clients.
