If you can get to the client to create a file,
can't you just run dsmc query inclexcl ?
Oh, I see - Richard's trick lets you see what the CURRENTLY RUNNING
client
used, when it woke up a month ago or whenever.
But you could just restart dsmc and try again.

Zoltan -
As you indicate, the reality seems to contradict the include-exclude
options shown by a current query.
Whereas you are running the TSM scheduler directly, rather than via
CAD, you have a persistent dsmc scheduler process performing your
backups, using option values which it grabbed when it initated. It
would be desirable to see what those actual settings are, to fully
verify the situation. That's somewhat challenging, but can be
accomplished via the following procedure:
- Create an ASCII file on the client, giving it a name such as /tmp/
tsmcmd,
containing:
Query SYSTEMInfo -FILEName=/tmp/TSM.systeminfo
- On the TSM server, invoke the command:
define clientaction YourNodename action=macro objects=/tmp/
tsmcmd
After the client action completes, the resulting /tmp/TSM.systeminfo
file will contain an INCLEXCL section which will show what the
prevailing dsmc process is using for includes and excludes.
