path=Location where the Secure+ parameters file will be created. directory location

For example, d_dir\Server\Secure+\Nodes

passphrase=Arbitrary set of characters that encrypts the Secure+ parameters file. a string at least 32 characters long
Open Parmfile Opens a Secure+ parameters file so that you can configure it. path=Location where the Secure+ parameters file will be created. directory location

For example, d_dir\Server\Secure+\Nodes

Close Parmfile Closes the Secure+ parameters file. After this command is issued, no more updates can be performed on the Secure+ parameters file. None None
Refresh Parmfile Refreshes the Secure+ parameters file. This will close the current parameters file and reopen it, bringing in any changes since last opened. None None
Validate Parmfile Validates the Secure+ parameters file and ensures that it is a valid file. None None

name=Name of the node in the network map. Use wildcard characters to resync more than one node at a time. node name or wildcard

Wildcard values are:

Asterisk (*)—any number of characters. Example: kps.* syncs up all nodes with a name that starts with kps.

Question mark (?)—a single character. Example: k?s.* syncs up kas.* and kbs.*.
