Supported Clients
This option is valid for all clients.
Syntax
Parameters
- file_name
- Specifies an alternate client options file, if you use the fully qualified path name. If you
specify only the file name, the client assumes the file name specified is located in the current
working directory. The default is dsm.opt.
Restriction: Specify the full path when you use this option with the client acceptor daemon (dsmcad), because the client acceptor daemon changes its working directory to root ("/") after initialization.
Examples
- Command line:
-
dsmc query session -optfile=myopts.opt

This option is valid only on the initial command line. It is not valid in interactive mode.
