How do I view the TSM Help for a Command

TSM provides a very powerful and easy way for you view help on TSM Commands. On the Main Toolbar there is a blue circle with a question mark in it. Press this to access the TSM Command help dialog.

TSM Studio needs a list of commands from the TSM Server, so they first time this dialog is run TSM Studio will connect to the Reference TSM Server and download all the available commands from the TSM Server, this process only happens once and the data is stored in a local cache.  Also to note that this process only get a lists of commands but not the help text.

In the  Display Help dialog there are three fields

Reference TSM Server – This is the server that TSM Studio will use if it needs any help text

Command – This is the command to display help for

Variation– Some Commands take more than one form such as the Define Schedule Command which has the following forms  Define Schedule ( Admin ) and Define Schedule ( Client )

Press Display TSM Help Icon from Main Tool Bar

And finally the full help Tab which displays the full help desk from the Help Command

Each time the help text for a command is loaded it is stored in the local TSM Studio Cache. If for any any reason you wish to update the help text ( for example when pulling the help from a TSM Server running a different version ) then use the Reload into Cache button on the bottom of the dialog
