To all TSM 'ers:

I have found out that the previous ADSM administrator put a line in the dsm.opt
file that points to a file where the include/excludes are. Clever, but I would
never have found this out on my own or in the manual.

You can cancel this request if you want to.

Tks in advance.

  |       statements: where should they be?          |
  >--------------------------------------------------|



I have inherited TSM totally on my own now and have to learn real fast.

I need to know where the include/exclude statements should go.

The manuals say:

dsm.opt or dsmserv.opt or dsmserv.opt.smp

The previous ADSM operator was to have setup the include/excludes, but when I
look in the *.opt files, I don't see any of them there.

Is there some other file where they might be?

We are not using client option set include/exclude definitions.

I have examples in the manual, but I need to have someone give me a "real world
example" from there system and what file the example is from.

We are backing up only oracle dbs with TSM and doing full/incr backups of both
H70 RS6Ks, not other network clients are being backed up.

Env.: 2 H70 RS6K, 4.3.3, TSM 3.7.3 server, client still at 3.1.?.
