Schedule automatic updates for backup-archive clients

With IBM Spectrum Protect™ Version 8.1.2, you can schedule deployment of software updates to systems that already have the backup-archive client installed.

You can use IBM Spectrum Protect server commands to schedule updates for one or more backup-archive clients. The updates can be fix packs or new releases. This feature was available in previous releases of IBM Spectrum Protect, but an improved procedure is available for V8.1.2.
