Changetsmpassword optional parameters

Edit online

Optional parameters follow the changetsmpassword command and positional parameters.

/CONFIGfile=configfilename
Use the /configfile parameter to specify the name of the Data Protection for Exchange Server configuration file that contains the values for the Data Protection for Exchange Server configuration options.

The configfilename variable can include a fully qualified path. If the configfilename variable does not include a path, the Data Protection for Exchange Server installation directory is used. If the /configfile parameter is not specified, or if the configfilename variable is not specified, the default value is tdpexc.cfg.

If the configfilename variable includes spaces, enclose the entire /configfile parameter entry in double quotation marks. For example: 
/CONFIGfile="c:\Program Files\file.cfg"
/LOGFile=logfilename
Use the /logfile parameter to specify the name of the activity log file that is generated by Data Protection for Exchange Server.

The logfilename variable identifies the name of the activity log file.

If the specified log file does not exist, a new log file is created. If the specified log file exists, new log entries are appended to the file. The logfilename variable can include a fully qualified path. However, if no path is specified, the log file is written to the Data Protection for Exchange Server installation directory.

If the logfilename variable includes spaces, enclose the entire /logfile parameter entry in double quotation marks. For example: 
/LOGFile="c:\Program Files\mytdpexchange.log"

If the /logfile parameter is not specified, log records are written to the default log file, tdpexc.log.

The /logfile parameter cannot be turned off, logging always occurs.

When you use multiple simultaneous instances of Data Protection for Exchange Server to perform operations, use the /logfile parameter to specify a different log file for each instance used. This function directs logging for each instance to a different log file and prevents interspersed log file records.

Attention: Failure to specify a different log file for each instance can result in unreadable log files.
/LOGPrune=numdays|No

When you prune log data, you can discard some of the generated logs according to detailed filtering criteria that you set. Depending on the option that you set for the /LOGPrune parameter, a certain number of days of data are saved. By default, 60 days of log entries are saved. The option No can be entered to disable log pruning.

Regardless of the option that you set for this parameter, you can explicitly request log pruning at any time.

Considerations:
  • For numdays, the range is 0 to 9999. A value of 0 deletes all entries in the activity log file except for the current command entries.
  • If you specify no, the log file is not pruned.
  • If you do not specify /LOGPrune, the default value is that specified by the logprune configurable option in the configuration file. The default value is 60.
  • If you specify /LOGPrune, its value is used instead of the value that is stored in the configuration file. Specifying this parameter does not change the value in the configuration file.
  • You can specify /LOGPrune without specifying numdays or no; in this case, the default value, 60, is used.
  • Changes to the value of the TIMEformat or DATEformat parameter can result in an unwanted pruning of the log file. If you are running a command that might prune the log file, and the value of the TIMEformat or DATEformat parameter is changed, complete one of the following to prevent unintentional pruning of the log file:
    • Make a copy of the existing log file.
    • Specify a new log file with the /LOGFile parameter or logfile setting.
/TSMNODe=tsmnodename
Use the tsmnodename variable to refer to the IBM Storage Protect node name that Data Protection for Exchange Server uses to log on to the IBM Storage Protect server.

You can store the node name in the IBM Storage Protect options file (dsm.opt). This parameter overrides the value in the IBM Storage Protect options file if PASSWORDACCESS is set to PROMPT. This parameter is not valid when PASSWORDACCESS is set to GENERATE in the options file.

/TSMOPTFile=tsmoptfilename
Use the tsmoptfilename variable to identify the Data Protection for Exchange Server options file.

The file name can include a fully qualified path name. If no path is specified, the directory where Data Protection for Exchange Server is installed is searched.

If the tsmoptfilename variable includes spaces, enclose the entire /tsmoptfile parameter entry in quotation marks. For example: 
/TSMOPTFile="c:\Program Files\file.opt"

The default is dsm.opt.
