Set API environment variables

Edit online

If you installed the IBM® Storage Protect API, set the following environment variables.

DSMI_DIR
Points to your installation directory. The file dsm.sys 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 (this path cannot be a symbolic link).
Note: End users of applications that are developed with the API can consult the installation directions for that application for special path names or guidelines for options.
