Hi all. I've got a client option set defined on the server for my UNIX clients. The include-exclude specifications fulfill most everything I need. However there are some UNIX clients which have a few special case needs. As such these boxes have a local inclexcl file specified in the dsm.sys. I've had no luck with getting a combined list to function correctly on the client. Per the manuals, FORCE/OVERRIDE have no affect in multi line specifications such as includes/excludes.
Here's the server cloptset (server level 4.1.4): INCLEXCL 0 No include /.../* unix INCLEXCL 1 No include /BACKTRACK*:*/.../* sqlback INCLEXCL 2 No include /pipe/.../* adsmpipe INCLEXCL 3 No include /ora*/oradata/.../* oracle INCLEXCL 4 No include /oraarc*/.../* oracle INCLEXCL 5 No include /oraexp/.../* oracle INCLEXCL 6 No exclude /.../tmp/.../* INCLEXCL 7 No exclude /.../.sh_history output from q inclexcl (client level 4.2.1) with an empty local include-exclude list: *** FILE INCLUDE/EXCLUDE *** Mode Function Pattern (match from top down) Source File ---- --------- ------------------------------ ----------------- No exclude filespace statements defined. No exclude directory statements defined. Excl All /.../.sh_history Server Excl All /.../tmp/.../* Server Incl All /oraexp/.../* Server Incl All /oraarc*/.../* Server Incl All /ora*/oradata/.../* Server Incl All /BACKTRACK*:*/.../* Server Incl All /.../* Server No DFS include/exclude statements defined. Now here's my local include-exclude file contents: Exclude /adsmchi/.../* Exclude /fixdist/.../* And then the output of the q inclexcl again: *** FILE INCLUDE/EXCLUDE *** Mode Function Pattern (match from top down) Source File ---- --------- ------------------------------ ----------------- No exclude filespace statements defined. No exclude directory statements defined. Excl All /.../.sh_history Server Excl All /.../tmp/.../* Server Incl All /oraexp/.../* Server Incl All /oraarc*/.../* Server Incl All /ora*/oradata/.../* Server Incl All /BACKTRACK*:*/.../* Server Incl All /.../* Server Excl All /fixdist/.../* /etc/adsm/inclexcl.list Excl All /adsmchi/.../* /etc/adsm/inclexcl.list No DFS include/exclude statements defined. So my question is since this list is processed top down, how will I ever exclude the last two dirs? The only way I can see this would work is to remove the include /.../* line (sequence 0) on the server cloptset and make the mgmtclass it points to (unix) the default. Is there another way? Comments? Sorry for the length of the posting. Confused! Al Barth ******************* PLEASE NOTE ******************* This message, along with any attachments, may be confidential or legally privileged.
