Thank you for submitting this request. This is a recognized requirement and a solution appears to be desirable. This request is not in a committed release plan for this year, but the theme is aligned with our multi-year strategy, and will be a candidate for a future release. IBM’s plans may change and no commitment is made that a solution will be provided.
The RFE is actually probably more for the TSM clients
From the server, the update is called with a onetime schedule, which executes a batch file with some parameters.
It would be nice, if a sort of option like "use dsm.opt file comm parameters" could be specified - and the batch-file in the client update thehn would grab the tcpserveraddress and tcpport parameters from the config file for the specified node.
I have not tested whether the batch files supports if the clients connect via SSL (this parameter probably alos needs to be an optional parameter - or should be checked in the options file)
