Test locations specified by x. If this option is not supplied, then dsstestlocation will test all locations within the channel.

Values of x may be one of the following:

• loc: Only location loc.
• l1-l2: All locations that fall alphabetically between l1 and l2 inclusive.
• !loc: All locations except loc.

• !l1-l2: All locations except for those that fall alphabetically between l1 and l2 inclusive.

  Character '!' can be treated as a special (reserved) character in certain shells. Therefore, use single quotes (' ') or a backslash (\) when specifying the location(s) to be excluded. For example:

  dsstestlocation -l '!myloc' myhub

  dsstestlocation -l !myloc myhub

• pattern: All locations matching the specified pattern. Pattern matching can be done using the special symbols *, ? or [characters], where '*' is any sequence of characters, '?' matches any character (exactly one), and '[]' matches a selection of characters. For example:

  • 'loc*' matches location names starting with 'loc'.
  • '*loc' matches location names ending with 'loc'.
  • 'loc?' matches location names 'loc1', 'loc2', 'loc3', but not 'loc12'.
  • 'a[c0-9]' matches location names with first letter 'a' and second letter 'c' or a digit.
  • 'a*|b*' Multiple patterns may be specified. In this case, the pattern matches location names starting with 'a' and 'b'.
• @filename: All locations listed in filename (a .txt file containing location names, one per line).

Remote hub server. Access the hub server running on a remote machine, via the REST interface.
