Adding Variables (XML)

Variables that can be added in the DSMC can also be added via XML file:

• User-defined variables
• Drive mapping
• Administration permissions. Only DSM's own administration accounts can be added.

Adding User-Defined Variables

Add the entry in section CustomVariables .

Format of the entry:

<VARIABLE name="NAME" type="TYPE" value="VALUE" />

• For NAME, enter the required name. The name can only be assigned once.
• For TYPE, enter one of the three possible types: STRING, INI_VALUE or REG_VALUE.
• Specify the required value. Observe the correct syntax for each type.

User-defined variables may not be renamed via the XML file. If you change the name, a new user-defined variable is created. The old one is also retained.

Adding drive mapping

Add the entry in section DriveMappings .

Format of the entry:

<VARIABLE name="NAME" type="STRING" value="VALUE" />

• For NAME, enter the required drive name. It can only be assigned once.
• Specify the required value which must be entered in the following format: \\<Server\<Share>.
• <VARIABLE name="G:" type="STRING" value="\\es-es133\DSM$" />

Adding administration permission

You can only add DSM's own administration accounts.

1. Add the entry for the account in section AccessControl.
   Format of the entry:
   <VARIABLE name="NAME" type="ACE" value="VALUE" />
• For NAME, enter the required account name.
• For VALUE, specify the required access permissions.
• <VARIABLE name="abo" type="ACE" value="S:RW; C:RW; P:RWE; DB:RW; A:RW" />
2. Add the entry for the password in section Passwords.
   Format of the entry:
   <VARIABLE name="NAME" type="STRING" value="VALUE" PASSWORD="YES" />
• For NAME, use the account name.
• For VALUE, specify the required password (in plain text). The password is encoded during import.
• <VARIABLE name="abo" type="STRING" value="fspogd67" PASSWORD="YES" />
