Parameters

-d distribution
Specifies the name of an individual ODF distribution to be scheduled. This parameter is only used when using the external scheduling process. When you use the -d parameter, the -r parameter must also be specified. Do not use the -S or -T parameter when you use this parameter.
-e
This parameter will submit the distribution specified by the -d and -r parameters for report bundle processing. When you use the -e parameter, the -d and -r parameters must also be specified.
-f
Process report bundle if needed. This option will ensure that the selection criteria specified in the SQL statement of the report bundle definition is found in the available report before creating the report bundle processing request. This option will eliminate processed report bundles ending in error message ARS04414E and distributions ending in error because the SQL specified was not found in the report. If none of the available reports match the SQL statement, then the distribution will be marked complete and no processed reports will be created.
-h instance
The name of the Content Manager OnDemand instance to process. The ARSODF program will attempt to locate the specified instance name in the ARS.INI file (AIX®, Linux®, z/OS®, or IBM® i servers; the registry for Windows servers) to obtain the TCP/IP address, host name or host name alias of the system on which the instance is running. If the ARSODF program cannot locate the instance name in the ARS.INI file, then the specified value is treated as a host name. You must specify this parameter and name the instance if:
  •  Windows only:Linux only:z/OS only:AIX only:The name of your Content Manager OnDemand instance is not ARCHIVE.
  • IBM i only:The name of your Content Manager OnDemand instance is not QUSROND or the instance name specified as your default in the QDFTINST data area.
  • You are running more than one instance on the same system and you need to specify an instance other than the default instance.
The ARSODF program also supports the -I parameter. You can use either parameter to specify the name of the instance to process. If you specify both, the value of the last parameter specified is used.
-I instance
The name of the Content Manager OnDemand instance to process. The -I parameter provides the same function as the -h parameter. If you specify both, the value of the last parameter specified is used.
-p password
The password for the user that is specified with the -u parameter. If the user is not assigned a password, enter a null password (that is, specify -p ""). If you do not specify the -p parameter while you specify the -u parameter, then the program retrieves the password for the user ID from the stash file specified in ARS.INI file for that instance.
-r recipient
Specifies the name of an individual ODF recipient to receive the distribution to be scheduled. If you are not using the -e parameter, the -r parameter can also specify the name of a recipient list. This parameter is only used when using the external scheduling process. When you use the -r parameter, the -d parameter must also be specified. Do not use the -S or -T parameter when you use this parameter.
-S
Start ODF processing. See Running ODF for more information.
-T
Terminate ODF processing. See Running ODF for more information.
-u userid
The Content Manager OnDemand user that is permitted to perform the specified function. The ARSODF program requires the following permissions:
  • The user ID that you specify is a valid Content Manager OnDemand user in the instance that you name with the -h or -I parameter.
  • The user ID is a Content Manager OnDemand System Administrator or has ODF Administration authority.
  • The user ID is authorized to the application group and application to be distributed.
If you do not specify the -p parameter with the -u parameter, the ARSODF program retrieves the password for the user ID from the stash file specified in the ARS.INI file for that instance.
-v
Enables verbose mode, which displays all messages (informational and error). By default, the ARSODF program displays error messages.
-1 trace_file
Specify a fully qualified trace file name as directed by IBM Software Support.
-2 level
Specify a value as directed by IBM Software Support.
