Examples of each:

  Admin CLI client macros read the macro file from the client system.

  Defining TSM server scripts from a file with the script contents reads
  the file from the TSM server system.

It makes more sense if you think about which side is operating on the
contents of the file.

You seem to have that backwards.  In the admin CLI client, redirecting
output using ">" writes the output to the specified path on the client
system, not the server system.


In Geoff's case, the "checkout" command is similar to the "define script"
command, in that it's the server that is reading the file, so the file
path needs to be visible on the server.
