A single-value Info option is used to pass one value into this application. One value, and one only, must follow a single-value option; otherwise an error message is displayed if no value or more than one value passed in.
Info Option -BP (-BatchProcess)
delayed mode execution. When it presents, the 'dsrqst' command is not executed right way, but the command information is recorded into RDADB instead and the command is executed later by the centralized daemon 'dscheck'. One or multiple host names can be specified after option -BP to force the 'dsrqst' command be executed on or not on the hosts. For examples, '-d evans' to run on host 'evans'; '-d evans:mirage5' to run on hosts 'evans' and 'mirage5'; and '-d \!migage1:mirage2' to run on all configured hosts other than 'mirage1' and 'mirgae2'. Character '!' needs to be escaped for passing in on command line. A upper limit for number of tries can also be passed in with this options, 1 to 99, as '-d 2' for example. It default to 1 for cammand of 'dsrqst' if not specified.
delimiter for separating columns of multi-value Info options in input files. It is default to '<:>'.
Info Option -EL (-EmailLimit) :
defaults to 20. If present with a value larger than 0, 'dsrqst' emails status of requests up to this number.
Info Option -ES (-EqualSign) :
for an equal sign of assigning one value to either a single-value option or multi-value option in input files. It is defaulted to '<=>'.
Info Option -FN (-FieldNames) :
for a string of single letter field names. Values of the selected fields are retrieved per actions -GC (-GetControl), -GP (-GetPartition), -GR (-GetRequest) and -GF (-GetFile). Values of default fields are retrieved if this option is not specified. Valid field names are listed in corresponding action sections.
gets usage information of given requests and records into order metrics.
uses GMT dates/times as controlling times for processing request actions, instead of mountain time.
Info Option -LN (-LoginName) :
login name of the current user; it defaults to the current login DSS specialist who starts execution of 'dsrqst'. Set this option if you try to run this utility for a specialist other than yourself.
Info Option -OF (-OutputFile) :
leading an output file name into which the output result of this application is dumped. Output file format is similar to the format of the input files. If this option is not given, the result is displayed on screen.
Info Option -ON (-OrderNames) :
for a string of single letter field names use to order the results of GET actions, -GC (-GetControl), -GP (-GetPartition), -GR (-GetRequest) and -GF (-GetFile). Upper case is for Ascending order while lower case is for Descending order. This option also force reordering of data files displayed on the webpage per Action option -SF (-SetFile) when Mode option -RO (-Reorder) is present but Info option -WF (-WebFile) is omitted.
Info Option -PW (-PurgeWait) :
defaults to 7200 Seconds. It works for the Daemon mode of 'dsrqst'. When all due requests are purged already, this option value tells 'dsrqst' to wait this period of time before checking if any more requests are due to purge again. It can be provided to set a different wait interval, such as Second, Minute, Hour or Day. For example, '-PW 4H' is for 4 hours. A digital value only assumes a unit of Second, and '-PW 3600' means 3600S, for example.
Info Option -AO (-ActOption) :
for setting Action and Mode options in input files. It is default to ''.
Info Option -TS (-totalSize) :
sets default size in GB, the maximum disk space, for 'dsrqst' to stage temporary online data. Requests in queue are put on hold if the total data online reaches this limit already, until older requests are purged and data files are removed, so that free disk space is large enough for next request to be processed.
specify a download directory on RDA Server to stage the temporary data files for the download/archive activity.
