Reporting Outcome of the Synchronization
You can configure the maximum number of files for each BACKUP process with the
MAXBACKUP option.
Reporting Outcome of the Synchronization
For a one-time synchronization, AutoSYNC writes status information to a temporary log
file and, when the synchronization is complete, summarizes the results. Specify the
LOGFILE option to retain the log file.

Preserving Guardian LICENSE and PROGID Attributes
The LICENSE and PROGID attributes apply to object files. They are managed
carefully by the NSK file system to preserve system security. The basic security rules
that apply to all operations, including those performed by AutoSYNC, are as follows:
•
Only the local Super user ID can set the LICENSE attribute.
•
Only a file’s local owner, local group manager, or the local Super user can set the
PROGID attribute.
No remote user, even the Super user, can set the LICENSE or PROGID attributes.
If you synchronize a LICENSEd or PROGIDed object file to a destination on the same
system, the attributes are preserved if you have the authority to set those attributes in
the first place. You must be the Super user to preserve the LICENSE attribute; you
must be the file owner (or the owner’s manager or the Super user) to preserve the
PROGID attribute.
If you synchronize such an object file to a remote destination, the file is moved, but
those attributes are removed. AutoSYNC issues a warning message for each file that
has its attributes removed.
To synchronize object files to a remote destination, and preserve the LICENSE and
PROGID attributes, you must:
1. Use an appropriate user ID
2. Make the destination ASYSYNC (or the ASYSYNCP if synchronizing over TCP/IP)
a privileged program that can become a local process and have local access to
