 on this issue for the 3.1, but not for the 3.7.1 client, on AIX 4.3.3.

It looks like the inclexcl is processed differently for the web GUI, the
dsm interface, and the command line.  It seems that the web GUI only
processes the local inclexcl, and dsm interface processes both the local
and the CLIOPTSET, and the command line isn't affected by exclude.fs and
exclude.dir options.

The 3.7 manual is fuzzy on the processing & application of different
exclude options.

Anyone else already sleighed this dragon?

thanks
lisa

        Subject:        TSM web pages changed



Attempting to use my TSM web page bookmarks just now, I ran
into "Page Not Found" errors.  Tivoli has overhauled the
web site - but failed to add compensatory redirects, so all
of the many TSM customers who go clicking for information will
hit a wall.  Really poor web engineering.

The new entry point to manuals and software is:
http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/tivolimain.html .
More bad web engineering here, as you need a ridiculously
wide window to have the whole thing show up.

I've filed a problem report with their web support.
I'm dismayed at the management who's letting stuff like
this go to production.  Many are the problems in Tivoli.
