TIVARC.BAT and TIVADM.BAT establish environment variables that point to the location of sample Client Option files. Copy and customize the variables shown in the Environment Variables table to match site requirements.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| ARCDFLT | Path to ARCMAIN command line DEFAULT file. Include the path name in quotes if there are embedded blanks in the string. This is necessary because of the way ARCMAIN processes this environment variable, but is not necessary for other environment variables.
|
| BARAM_DEFAULT | Path to command line defaults file for the Teradata Access Module for Tivoli. Override the fields defined in this file on the command line or specify an alternative default file on the command line. The format of this file is similar to the format of the ARCMAIN default file. For example, white space and blank lines outside of a quote strings is ignored, and two semi-colon characters in a row mark the rest of the line as a comment that is ignored. |
| BARAMLOG | Path to diagnostic log file for the Teradata Access Module for Tivoli. If this path variable is not defined, it defaults to the current working directory with a log name of baram_log.txt. Logging always appends to this file. Periodically purge this file to prevent it from growing indefinitely when jobs are rerun.
|
| BARAMLOGLEVEL | Numeric indicator of diagnostic logging level used for the Teradata Access Module for Tivoli. Log levels are 1 through 5, with 1 as the default. If a log level is not specified, logging defaults to 1. |
| DSMI_CONFIG | Path to the TSM client configuration file, dsm.opt. If this variable is undefined or set to the null string, the TSM API software expects to see dsm.opt in the local directory that executes the ARCMAIN or TDDSMC. For more information, see the Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows: Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User’s Guide. |
| DSMI_DIR | Directory path containing the TSM client API error messages file (dscameng.txt). Usually, this is in C:\ProgramFiles\Tivoli\TSM\baclient. |
| DSMI_LOG | Directory path for storing TSM client log messages (dsierror.log). If this variable is undefined or set to the null string, and if a log message is locally generated by TSM, dsierror.log is created in the local directory that executes the ARCMAIN or TDDSMC. For information about using this file in troubleshooting, refer to taratddsmc Command-Line Utility . |
For more information about creating ARCMAIN scripts and implementing Teradata backup and restore processes, refer to the Teradata Archive/Recovery Utility Reference (B035-2412). The usage notes apply specifically to BAR jobs that start the access module.
