The removeoperandlimit option specifies
that Tivoli® Storage Manager removes
the 20-operand limit.
If you specify the removeoperandlimit option
with the incremental, selective,
or archive commands, the 20-operand limit is not
enforced and is restricted only by available resources or other operating
system limits.
The
removeoperandlimit option
can be useful if you generate scripts which can invoke the command-line
client with a large number of operands. For example, you can prescan
a directory tree looking for files to back up. As each
eligible file
is discovered, it is added to the operand list of a
selective command.
Later, this
selective command is submitted by a
controlling script. In this case, specifying the
removeoperandlimit option
removes the 20-operand limit.
Note: - The removeoperandlimit option must be
placed immediately after the incremental, selective,
or archive command before any file specifications.
- This option does not accept a value. If this option is specified
on a command, the 20-operand limit is removed.
- Because it
adversely affects performance to allow the shell to
expand wild cards, use the removeoperandlimit option
in backup or archive operations in which wild cards are not used.
- The removeoperandlimit option is valid only
on the incremental, selective,
or archive commands in batch mode. It is not valid
in the client options file (dsm.opt) or dsm.sys file.
Supported Clients
This option is valid
for all UNIX and Linux clients.
