Delphix Toolkits (dxToolkit and dxmToolkit)

I have been using dxtoolkit from my C: drive but finally got around to putting it on a Share drive so others can use it and we have one copy of dxtookit. 
When I execute a script that is stored in my userid folder, it changes directory to dxtoolkit2 in the Share folder and runs dx_get_appliance on each of the engines for the purpose of logging in and prompts me to enter the password for each engine. All good to this point.

It's fine for me to use it but i I'd like others to use it too. I tried using null in for the userid (like we do for password) hoping it would prompt me to enter the userid but that didnt work.

What is everyone else doing to solve this situation? 

TY, Joe

Hi Joseph.

 You can specify an alternative config file to use either by providing a "-configfile" argument on the command line, or by setting the "DXTOOLKIT_CONF" environment variable, this way each of your staff members will be able to have their own config file in their home directory.

Hello,

I think you have to give it a path. All of these variations work for me:

.\dx_get_snapshots -engine neal1800 -configfile .\dxtools.conf

.\dx_get_snapshots -engine neal1800 -configfile c:\temp\dxtools.conf

.\dx_get_snapshots -engine neal1800 -configfile "c:\temp\dxtools.conf"

If the path has spaces in it, you might have to use quotes.

Hope this helps,

Neal
