bpsetconfig to delete an entry

Hello to everybody,

 

I need your help..  I would to delete an entry into bp.conf file on a lot of unix hosts.

Is it possible using the "bpsetconfig" ? or with this command i can only add/update a "new" configuration ?

In this last case how can i delete this entry?

bp.conf before:

CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT = 1800
LIST_FILES_TIMEOUT = 1800
Buffer_Size = 256
 

bp.con after:

CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT = 1800
LIST_FILES_TIMEOUT = 1800
 

 Many thanks to everybody

R.

    It seems that the entry "Buffer_Size = 256" *is* a valid entry in-so-much as bpsetconfig *will* allow you to add that value into the bp.conf of a client (tried other spurious entries which *did not*).

    Did a little testing & it is a straight-forward *fix*

    Using a file myfile.lis with an entry of Buffer_Size = 256 the following command updated the bp.conf of the client with that entry:

    bpsetconfig -h client <path-to-file>/myfile.lis

    Changing the entry in bpconf.lis to Buffer_Size = & re-running the same command removes the entry from the bp.conf on the client.

    Just script it if you've more than a handful of clients to amend.

    I cannot find any reference to Buffer_Size as being a valid bp.conf entry.
    Seems you will have to manually edit client's bp.conf to remove this entry.

    Hello,

     

    i tried with your suggestion but unfortunately the problem persist. I think that the only solution is to delete manually the entry into each bp.conf

    Curious in that I managed to get it to work.

    Any format or typos issues in your "Buffer_Size =" entry? That's the only reason I can think of at the moment why it doesn't work.

    I tried with

    Buffer_size = "

    Buffer_size = ""

    #Buffer_size =

    whit the same result.. The entry is still present..

    With this entry

    Buffer_Size =   

    the entry is deleted if the target host is a windows server... but it doesn't work with unix server ( in my case Linux RH and AIX server.. )  the parameter become "0"

     

    It is very strange..

    As you say, strange.

    Just tried: Master - Solaris 9 -> Client RHEL without issue (previously Solaris9 -> Solaris 10)

    NB6.5.6 throughout (sssshh, keep *that* quiet!)
