Greetings,

We are running a test of Client Option Sets from an AIX server running TSM
4.1.2 and an NT 4.0 Workstation running TSM 4.1.2.12.  Things *seem* to be
behaving as expected with includes/excludes.

One that exists only on the server side is working to exclude the entire
D:drive.  This is set to force=yes, and it does override an include on the
client sode.  Incl/excl rules that exist on both server and client are
giving the expected duplicate error messages in the dsmerror.log (and the
files are being excluded).

My understanding from documentation is that specifying force=yes on server
side inclexcl options will process those includes/excludes *before* the
ones in the client side dsm.opt file.  And force=no will process them
after.  In effect, force=yes puts the server side rules at the "bottom" of
the include/exclude list and force=no puts them at the "top".

We are new at this, so this may not be entirely accurate information.  Just
wanted to share our experiences so far.

Thanks,
Jennifer

What if one has all of inclexcl statements defined in the client option set
and none in the dsm.opt file?

Note that INCLEXCL and DOMAIN are additive options such that
Force has no effect.  That is, Force pertains only to
singular options.
