Environment variables
Generally, setting the environment variables is an optional task. Setting these variables makes it more convenient for you to use the command line.
- Set language environment variables
The Tivoli Storage Manager client automatically detects the language of the system locale and displays in that language. - Set processing environment variables
There are some circumstances where you must set environment variables to ensure that Tivoli Storage Manager applications can locate the files that are needed to perform client operations, and that applications can create log files that record events and errors that occur during Tivoli Storage Manager operations. - Set Bourne and Korn shell variables
Enter the environment variables in the .profile file (Korn shell) or .bash_profile file (Bourne shell) in your $HOME directory. - Set C shell variables
For the C shell, add the DSM_CONFIG, DSM_LOG and DSM_DIR variables to the .cshrc file in your $HOME directory. - Set API environment variables
If you installed the Tivoli Storage Manager client API, set the following environment variables.
