If the CLI option /configfile points to non existent file the tdpsqlc command should end in error..

If we have in a sqlfull.bat script:

tdpsqlc backup * full /configfile=someconfig.cfg

and the file "someconfig.cfg" does not exist, the command runs along with default config and returns with rc=0.

Problem with that is if "somconfig.cfg" once existed and pointed to an MSSQL-instance ie. "SQLSERVER NODE\INSTANCE" and somebody deletes this file the schedule will run fine and the missing backup of NODE\INSTANCE will go undetected. I just happened to find that out in our environment where such a configfile was deleted more than a year ago. Luckily no restore of that instance was needed in that period.

If you have /configfile=<file> and <file> does not exist the command should end in error.

That would also be consistent with how TSM behaves elsewhere. For example "dsmc -optfile=file" will fail with rc=12 if "file" does not exist..
