Extra information:
LDAP: Prints the maximum number of LDAP stakeholders that can be fetched by the MDS.
LDAPC: To enter a new stakeholder size for LDAP. The default size is 5500. This size can be increased with this command. Please note that the increase of the LDAP stakeholder size may also consume more memory. If you want to connect more than 50000 stakeholders, enter -1 as new size. This will result in an unlimited number of stakeholders that can be connected.
LM: [Log Monitor Status] All 'start' and 'end' information of each monitor will be stored in the event log when LMS is on.
Mail -[project id]: Replace [project id] by the actual project ID. This command will show the total number of e-mails sent in that project.

DFOALC: Specify how many times a retry should be attempted for a failed execution of a database feedback template
DFODDAC: Specify how long failed database feedback templates are kept on the server (in days)
TDM: TDM is used to toggle debugOn function. If the debugOn value is true in the MDS preference file, then TDM in the console will make it false internally, but will not write it to the file preference file. MDS stops showing details. Typing TDM again on the console will make MDS debug mode true.
TMM: [Toggle Mail Mode] If the degubOn is true, MDS shows lots of information which may not be useful for a specific purpose. If just mail sending information is needed, TMM may be used. If TDM is false, then TMM command will show detailed mail information when the Invitation Monitor starts.
TEM: [Toggle Error Mode] All the MDS errors are directed to error.log file found in the log directory. When ever there are errors, the MDS maintains an error log to store the error string. If the TEM is on, the MDS will store the error message in the error log file as well as it will show the message in the MDS console.
RRS: Show the status of the response report feature.
RRSC: Change the response reports e-mailing. You can also change the e-mail address to which the reports are sent with this option.
