Technically it is plural, TESTFLAGS. But even amongst developers, TESTFLAG is commonly used (I'm the only one I know who uses the plural), so that is a minor nit that must have crept in to the doc. Regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Product Development Le

In the original document I read, you are supposed to put this in the dsm.opt, not the dsm.sys (For Unix) Also, it looks like both work: dsmc i FILE -testflag=DISABLEATTRIBUPDATE dsmc i FILE -testflags=DISABLEATTRIBUPDATE Regards, Shawn Shawn Drew

Hi Shawn, thanks for your compliment :-) I must admit I would expected this to be an option that could be added to the cloptset, but I was not able to figure it out. So I've added a workaround and adjusted the text of the article: You can add "TESTFLAG DISABLEATTRIBUPDATE" in dsm.sys. When ch
