Boris,

The sample is just that - a sample of how to interface the tsm api. The seed is
just a string that gets replicated up to the file length you specify. The idea
being that to test the api we want to send data over to the server. The seed is
data that will be sent over. For instance, the seed 'abcd' is replicated n times
until the file length specified is reached. I hope this helps.

Subject:  HELP! The tsm api option value????




Hello all,

I'm trying to run dapismp - tsm api sample exe file.
After I configured the Signon and established the session with tsm server,
I tried archive the file. But I don't understand one of the parameters -
seed string.
Can someone explain me what the seed string parameter meaning?

TNXS
