You probably need to enable omsets. They are disabled by default when you start a remote session. We have a pickable script in the Process_Eng environment, under the SftMnt pulldown so an engineer can enable if so desired. Script file reads: dmcmd script dmcmd enable omsets Roger B.

I have also tried the alternative "omset" to set the DMCMD global of the display manager, with no luck there either. Has anybody found a work-a-round?
