User response
Make sure that the options file you want to use
exists, it has the read rights set for the user that is running the
operation, and it is in the standard file encoding of the system.
For example, on Windows the
expected file encoding is ANSI. Review the configuration information
in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager client manual specific
to your operating system. If the problem persists, ask your IBM Tivoli Storage Manager administrator for further assistance.
