Option setting for maxdsndirlevels

[cjpete8]

What are the values that can be coded for option maxdsndirlevels? Is zero a valid value?

More information on the setting can be found here:
http://dovetail.com/docs/sftp/dsn-deter ... ndirlevels

but I notice that we don't list the option in the tables with all of the other options, nor do we list the default.
We will correct this.

The default is "NOmaxdsndirlevels", which means that this feature is not enabled.
Also, if you set maxdsndirlevels=0 then the feature will be disabled.

I had read the doc in the manual, but I was more concerned with what the values can be set at.
Also, I'm thinking of setting maxdsndirlevels to 1 or 2 at a system wide level so it will always assume a dataset vs a directory. Do you see any issues with do this?

I don't see a problem doing this with a new setup. maxdsndirlevels=2 seems like a good default.

You would have to be careful if you changed the site-wide default - you could in theory break jobs or remote clients that depending on doing a "cd" to a level > maxdsndirlevels.
