Dear Woolmilkporc,<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Thank a lot for your quick response. Yes the quotation marks were missed due to copy paste and BASEBKPFULL &nbsp;is our sintaxis for the script.<br />
<br />
One more question. This script contain The following commands:<br />
<br />
line1 BACKUP DB DEV=LTO5 type=FULL scratch=yes Wait=Yes<br />
line-5 if (rc_ok)<br />
line 8 delete volhist type=dbb todate=-1<br />
line 10 backup devconfig<br />
line 15 backup volhistory<br />
line 20 expire i<br />
line 25 Exit.<br />
<br />
Do you think its ok to execute it twice a day? Your opinion will be really aprecciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot for all your help-<br />
<br />
Santiago.

Do you use DRM? If so (and only if so), you should not use DEL VOLH to delete DBB versions, you should set the DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS parameter instead. <br />
Besides that, the script can well run twice a day. The DEL VOLH command run in the afternoon will not find anything to delete, but this will not result in an error message.<br />
Only one EXPIRE I process can run at any given time, so if the process started in the morning hasn't yet finished the second process will not start, but this won't do any harm either.

Woolmilkporc, <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Here is an update: i changed the act=yes parameter to act=command. So the entired command is the following: <br />
<br />
<b>def sched BASEBKPFULL T=A CMD=&quot;RUN BASEBKPFULL&quot; ACT=Command Desc=&quot;Full Backup TSM Database using BASEBKPFULL script&quot; Per=1 Peru=DAYS STARTTIME=15:00:00 Dur=10 duru=minutes DAYOFWEE<br />
K=ANY</b><br />
<br />
And this is the error:<br />
<br />
<b>ANR2651E DEFINE SCHEDULE: Invalid combination of one or more of the following parameters: cmd, type, action, objects, options.<br />
ANS8001I Return code 3.</b><br />
<br />
Any sugestion?
</div>


<div>
ACT (&quot;ACTION&quot;) is not allowed for administrative schedules. <br />
What you want to specify is ACTIVE=YES which cannot be abbreviated. Sorry that I overlooked this in your and my postings (again, a copy-and-paste &nbsp;thing!)
</div>


<div>
Wool,<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;No problem! Please can you copy here the right sintax for the complete command please?
</div>


<div>
Here you go:<br />
<br />
def sched &nbsp;BASEBKPFULL &nbsp;T=A &nbsp;CMD=&quot;RUN BASEBKPFULL&quot; <b>ACTIVE=yes</b> &nbsp; Desc=&quot;Full Backup TSM Database using BASEBKPFULL script&quot; Per=1 Peru=DAYS &nbsp; STARTTIME=15:00:00 Dur=10 duru=minutes DAYOFWEEK=ANY

how to run a TSM script twice a day?

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
