Issue/Introduction

I would like to run some reports on a different DM then the one my reporter normally connects to, is there a command I can type to switch my reporter to point a different Domain Manager or Enterprise Server?

Environment

Client Automation - All versions

Resolution

Yes, you can run the command 'dsmreporter manager:<domain manager name>' and it will launch pointing to that server. If required, it will prompt for credentials.

NOTE: This will only work if launching DSMREPORTER.EXE with no parameters with no switches works to connect to a default server first as that connection is made internally before the redirection to the required server. If there is no working default server connection, this command will fail.
