seeking real examples of changing schedule with bpplsched

[Amir_Tivoli]

I have this test schedule in place. What I'd like to do using any CLI command is change the Tuesday start window from 12:00 to 00:00. I've not seen any examples of how this is actually done. Man pages without examples are completely worthless, so there's no need to copy and paste useless documentation.

In the GUI, you can either directly edit a day or remove it and copy it from another. Examples of either would be useful.

I usually like to use CLI but this is one case where the GUI is easier. 

use the bpplschedrep command to modify a schedule via CLI

you have to calculate start time and duration in seconds

example from the admin guide:

bpplschedrep newpolicy full -0 79200 7200 -6 79200 7200

   -0 means start on Sunday (-1 would be Monday, and so on)

    79200 / 3600 = 22 = 10PM  (3600 seconds in an hour)

    7200 / 3600 = 2 (hours)

   -6 means stop on Saturday

so to put that in plain language, the command modifies Schedule full in Policy newpolicy to span

Sunday 10PM - midnite through Saturday 10PM - midnite

bpplsched newpolicy -U   (-L output looks messy and I advise not to use that switch)

  shows the modifed schedule

now for your particular case, this should do it

bpplschedrep test1 Default-Application-Backup -2 43200 43200

 modifies Tuesday start at noon (12 * 3600) for twelve hours (12 * 3600) backup window

Whew!  That was fun

So much easier in the GUI

Amir, did you get a chance to try this out? 

bpplschedrep test1 Default-Application-Backup -2 43200 43200
