INCLUDE and EXCLUDE (without any '.' extensions) affect binding of files
only, not directories. If your directories are being bound to 8YR_CLASS,
then it is either because you have a DIRMC statement that specifies this
class, or it happens to be the class with the longest RETONLY setting.

Some questions:

1) What versions of TSM are you running on the TSM client and the TSM
server?

2) Is the client options set associated with the specific node name? Issue
QUERY NODE with the F=D option for the node name in question to confirm
that this is the case.

3) What does the complete client options set look like? I'm not sure if
you have provided the entire set or just an extract.

4) Do you have an include-exclude file for the client node? What does it
look like?

5) From the client machine, what is the output from this command:

QUERY INCLEXCL

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.

        Subject:        Clientoption Sets not binding proberly to a management 
class --Again--



Due to lack of overwhelming response (0) I'm gonna send this again...
Please help if you can..

Hello,
I'm having trouble using client option sets.
I want to bind all files in the "/web/prod/web_logs" directory on a unix
server to a specific
management class called "8YR_CLASS".  When I do a backup all Directories
are binding to this
8YR_CLASS but the files are going to the default mgm class.
I must be missing something here...
This is my clientopt...


Option                     Sequence  Override  Option Value
                             number
-------------------------  --------  --------
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
INCLEXCL                         10       Yes  include
INCLEXCL                         10       Yes  include
"/web/prod/web_logs/.../* 8YR_CLASS"
INCLEXCL                         11        No  include
"/web/prod/web_logs/* 8YR_CLASS"

This is the output from ls -lR for the /web directory just to give you an
idea of what files I'm testing with..

Only the directories are binding to the 8YR_CLASS... I want the files to
bind, not the directories..

Any help would be greatly appreciated..
