If you have a test server you can run the os2 admin gui against that
and set the include specifications there.  I am assuming that it is
much smaller and therefore all the displays will work.

I have done this a number of times when I didn't want it to happen, i.e.
I ran against the test server and set the include spec to '*', thus making
a much larger display than I normally wanted on the production server
(1400 nodes).

To run against a test server add the -tcpport=nnnn parameter and/or
the -tcpserver={name/nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn}
