Administrator's Reference


Using Administrative Client Options

In all administrative client modes, the administrative client options modify your administrative client session responses.

The following administrative client options can be specified with the DSMADMC command and are valid from an administrative client session only:

-ID=userid
Specifies the administrator's user ID.

-PAssword=password
Specifies the administrator's password.

-NOConfirm
Specifies that you do not want TSM to request confirmation before processing commands that affect the availability of the server or data managed by the server.

-Quiet
Specifies that TSM does not display standard output messages to your screen. However, when you use this option, certain error messages still appear.

-CONsolemode
Specifies that TSM runs in console mode. All unsolicited server console output is echoed to your screen.

-MOUNTmode
Specifies that TSM runs in mount mode. All server removable-media mount messages are echoed to your screen.

-Itemcommit
Specifies that TSM commits commands inside a script or a macro as each command is processed.

-OUTfile=filename
Specifies that output from a server query is redirected to a specified file. In batch mode, output is redirected to a file you specify and the format of the output matches the format of the output on your screen.

In interactive, console, or mount mode sessions, output displays on your screen.

-OUTfile
Specifies that output from a server query is formatted one line per query. This option is available in batch mode only.

-COMMAdelimited

Specifies that any tabular output from a server query is to be formatted as comma-separated strings rather than in readable format. This option is intended to be used primarily when redirecting the output of an SQL query (SELECT command). The comma-separated value format is a standard data format which can be processed by many common programs, including spreadsheets, data bases, and report generators.

-TABdelimited
Specifies that any tabular output from a server query is to be formatted as tab-separated strings rather than in readable format. This option is intended to be used primarily when redirecting the output of an SQL query (SELECT command). The tab-separated value format is a standard data format which can be processed by many common programs, including spreadsheets, data bases, and report generators.

Besides the options listed here, you can also specify any option that is in the client options file. Each option must be preceded with a hyphen and delimited with a space.
