"testflag DISABLEATTRIBUPDATE"

I read this tsmblog article:
http://tsmblog.org/serendipity/index.php?/archives/81-UPDATED-vs-BACKED-UP.html

I remember reading about this testflag on the IBM Support site  and I
thought I remember reading about it on adsm-l somewhere, but searching
Google or IBM for "DISABLEATTRIBUPDATE" doesn't return anything anymore.

Anyway, for posterity:

By default TSM will not keep a history of permission changes, which
doesn't make sense to me!
In the past I've had to do complete system restores after a virus messed
up permissions.

This testflag in the dsm.opt file will disable that and backup the file
for any change (including permission changes)


Does anyone know how to get a testflag into a client option set?
(My last resort will be to try adding "-testflags=DISABLEATTRIBUPDATE" to
the options of all my schedules)



Regards,
Shawn
