The dsconfig command has extensive online help that is accessed using the --help option.
Use the following command to display dsconfig's global usage:
$ dsconfig --help
The global usage information does not include the list of available subcommands. To retrieve the list of subcommands, use one of the --help-xxx options, where xxx determines the group of subcommands to be displayed.
Note - Use the --help-all option used to display all of the available subcommands.
For example, to find all the subcommands relating to caching and back-end configuration, use the following command:
$ dsconfig --help-core-server
When you have determined which subcommand you want, you can get more detailed help on that subcommand by using the subcommand's --help option as follows:
$ dsconfig create-monitor-provider --help
The dsconfig command has built-in documentation for all of the components and their properties. This documentation can be accessed by using the list-properties subcommand. For example, a summary of the properties associated with a work queue can be displayed by using the following command:
$ dsconfig list-properties -c work-queue
Note - If the -c option is not specified, a summary of the properties for all components is displayed.
The summary table displays only brief usage information for each property. More detailed information are available using the verbose mode of the list-properties subcommand:
$ dsconfig list-properties -c work-queue --property num-worker-threads -v
Note - If the --property option is not specified, verbose help is provided for all the work-queue properties.
