Goran, Unless they've changed things recently, dsmcad *only* works with the parameter '-optfile='.
Don't believe the older documentation either (see apar IC32030). To make life interesting, on Solaris at least, dsmcad will accept *anything* supplied on the command line, ignore it, and then sit there in the process table doing nothing whatever. It may even grab a listen port as well - which it will ignore. For example "dsmcad -trash=rubbish -garbage" will appear to work. The httpport must be specified in the dsm.sys file, the appropriate stanza of which is in turn pointed to by the dsm.opt file. This is what one of ours looks like: root 319 1 0 Jan 08 ? 0:02 /bin/dsmcad -optfile=/bin/dsm_tv7.opt Regards Dave One should forgive one's enemies, but not before they are hanged. ____________________________________________________ Dave Frost Technical Consultant SunGard Availability Services (UK) Limited London Technology Centre Heathrow Corporate Park Hounslow UK.
