To have CA VM:Backup process user IDs, account numbers, ACI security groups, or file spaces differently than other data included in the job, enter options in the Command column of the Work with Exception File filename screen next to the appropriate record type. CA VM:Backup displays the Specify Options for Record Type Value screen.

This screen lists several processing options that you can set:

• To set all but the Pack, Quiesce, or Number of Tries for Consistent View of File Space options, type x next to that option. For example, although the job template file specifies backup type CMS, you can specify backup type physical for a certain user ID. To do so, type x next to the Physical option in the Backup Type field.
• To set the Pack or Quiesce option, type y or n (for yes or no) next to that option.
• In the Number of Tries for Consistent View of File Space field, enter a digit. This digit is the number of times CA VM:Backup is to verify a consistent view of the file space.

The following sections describe the Quiesce Option and the Security Algorithm and Key. You can specify these options only in an exception file.
