Set API environment variables
If you installed the IBM Spectrum 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.
