im viewprefs displays preferences and configuration options for Integrity Lifecycle Manager. These settings are used to determine default behaviors for other commands. You can only view one set of preferences at a time.

This command takes the universal options available to all im commands, as well as some general options. See the options reference page for descriptions. For an easy way to see a list of commands and values that may be set, type the im viewprefs command, either piped through |more or redirected to a file, for example:

Alternatively, the --gui option presents a dialog box that lets you view and configure the preferences.

specifies whether to show all preferences.

identifies the command that preferences are to be viewed for.

specifies whether to display a list of valid values for the preferences.

specifies whether to show the ask preference. Each preference option may be set to either --ask or --noask. When the command itself is run, any option set to --ask and that is not explicitly set with command line options will be queried. If this --ask option is set, then you do not specify a value for the preference at the same time, but instead the pref=value must supply one of the following four valid ask values:

asks the user the first time only, and then uses the provided value every time after.

never asks the user for a response, but uses the current setting (which may be specified by a preference).

asks the user for each element of the selection, providing the most recently used value as the default.

asks the user for each element of the selection, resetting the default to the value specified by the preference.

controls whether to view the preference for the graphical user interface, the command line interface, or an unspecified interface. By default, --ui=cli is implied when using im viewprefs. To view preferences for GUI behavior, however, you should specify --ui=gui. For example, to view the preference for the im printissue command, type:

These correlate to settings in theIntegrityClient.rc file that have the gui.im. or cli.im. prefix, or the im. prefix when it is unspecified.
