Set API environment variables

If you installed the Tivoli® Storage Manager client API, set the following environment variables.

DSMI_DIR

Points to your installation directory. The files dsmtca, dsm.sys, and the language files must reside in the directory pointed to by DSMI_DIR. This environment variable must be present.

DSMI_CONFIG

Full path name of your own client user-options file (dsm.opt).

DSMI_LOG

Path for dsierror.log (cannot be a symbolic link).

Note: End users of applications developed with the API should consult the installation directions for that application for special path names or guidelines for options.
