Current specs are:

Server:  RS/6000, TSM 4.1.4.1, AIX 4.3.3
Client:  TSM 4.1.4, AIX 4.3.3

Our vendor that supports the application running on this box wanted
shrdynamic for serialization to back a large comma delimited file.  Even
though the management class associated with the file has shrdynamic set, it
continues to skip the file because it changes in the middle of backup.  From
what I have read and the definitions below the file should get backed up but
the integrity wouldn't necessarily be intact.  Is that a wrong assumption?
Shrdynamic Specifies that if the file or directory is being modified during
a backup attempt, Tivoli Storage Manager backs up the file or directory
during the last attempt even though the file or directory is being modified.
Tivoli Storage Manager attempts to perform a backup as many as four times,
depending on the value specified for the CHANGINGRETRIES client option.
Dynamic Specifies that a file or directory is backed up on the first attempt
by Tivoli Storage Manager, regardless of whether the file or directory is
being modified during backup processing.

Does anyone know why the file would continue to skip?  If I need to provide
more information please let me know.
