Use the interactive mode to process a series of administrative
commands.
About this task
To start an administrative client session in interactive mode,
a server session must be available. To ensure the availability of server sessions
for both administrative and client node sessions, the interactive mode of
the administrative client is disconnected if one or more of the following
conditions is true:
- The server was stopped using the HALT command.
- Commands were not issued from the administrative client session for the
length of time specified with the IDLETIMEOUT server option.
- The administrative client session was canceled with the CANCEL SESSION
command.
You can use continuation characters when using interactive mode.
For more information, see Using continuation characters to enter long commands.
To
start an administrative session in interactive mode, enter:
dsmadmc
Do
not enter a server command with the DSMADMC command. Doing so will start the
administrative client in batch, not interactive, mode. For example, do not
enter:
dsmadmc server_command
You can automatically restart your administrative client session by entering
another command each time the tsm: servername > prompt appears.
