Re: [ADSM-L] Invoking dsmadmc from powershell

Steven,

I generally set up an array of arguments an then wrap it in a powershell 
function to abstract away all the required arguments and then put the actual 
dsmadmc call into a function.

Something like:

[Array]$dsmargs = "-tcps=$Host_Name","-tcpp=$Server ", "-id=$Admin_ID ", 
"-pa=$TSMpw", "-tabd", "-dataonly=y", ""
        
dsmadmc "select server_name, current timestamp from status"
function dsmadmc ($dsm_args, $cmd)
{
        $dsmadmc = "./dsmadmc.exe"
        $dsmargs[6]= $cmd
        & $dsmadmc $dsmargs   
}

Hi All

I have to run some security checks from time to time. Its a tedious process and 
error prone, so a smart person would automate this. I have no ability to 
install anything so I must work with what I have

for unix I can do something like this,

=======

id=SCRIPT
SVR=TSM1
pass=somethingsecret

alias admc="dsmadmc -errorlogn=./dsmerror.log -se=${SVR} -id=$id -pa=$pass 
-tabd -dataonly=y"

admc "select server_name, current timestamp from status"

admc "select location from dbspace" | xargs -I {} find  {} ! -perm -g= -o !
-perm -o= -ls

=======

The second of those lists only those database files with permissions set 
invalidly.


I'd like to do something similar with Windows.  The equivalent of find is not 
hard to do with powershell,  but I'm having trouble invoking dsmadmc with 
parameters

Does anyone have a magic incantation to accomplish this?

The best I've been able to come up with  is


$DSM_DIR="C:\Program File\Tivoli\TSM\baclient"
$dsmadmc="$DSM_DIR\dsmadmc.exe"
$env:DSM_DIR=$DSM_DIR
$env:Path=$env:Path+";"+$DSM_DIR
$SVR="TSM1"
$id="SCRIPT"
$pass="somethingsecret"
Invoke-Command -FilePath $dsmadmc -ArgumentList '-se=$SVR -id=$id -pa=$pass 
-tabd -dataonly=y "q st"''


But thats not substituting as I would like.

Thanks


Steve.
