IBM TSM - How to move the start time of a scheduled event

 

In this example we will be looking at changing the start time of an admin event.

First take a look at the status of current scheduled events, by typing the following.

q ev * t=a

The t=a (type=admin) indicates that we want to look at admin events.

An example ouput is shown below
