Schedule Start

Command

SCHEDULE START

Description

Sets criteria to start the transmission of data from the source to the target

Syntax

SCHEDule <target> START [STARTTIME = <mm/dd/yy> <hh:mm>] [MEMLIMIT = <percent>] [QUEUESIZE = <bytes>] [EVERY <number> <time_units>]

Options

• target—Name of the target or an IP address on the target.
• mm/dd/yy—Date in month/day/year format indicating when the transmission will begin
• hh:mm—Time in hour:minute format using the 24-hour clock indicating when the transmission will begin
• percent—Any number between 0 and 100 indicating the percentage of system memory that must be in use to initiate the transmission process
• bytes—Number of bytes that must be in the source disk queue to initiate the transmission process
• number—Any number indicating how often the transmission process will be repeated
• time_units—Minutes (min), hours (hr), or days (day)

Examples

• schedule beta start starttime=03/11/07 03:30, queuesize=10000, every 6 hr
• sched beta start queuesize=100000000

Notes

• The start option EVERY cannot be used by itself and cannot be the first option in a string of options.
• If you use more than one start option, the transmission will begin when the first start option value is met. Additionally, each option after the first must be separated by a comma, as illustrated in the Examples.
• Target names, except for IP addresses, that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be enclosed in quotation marks.
