    IBM has evaluated the request, and has determined that it can not be implemented at this time or does not align with the current multi-year strategy. This request may be resubmitted for consideration after 18 months from the date of submission. The request submitter will automatically be notified by email when the request qualifies for reconsideration and resubmission.
    This was disabled due to the security enhancements made in Spectrum Protect 8.1.2. See this article for details:

    hi
    have you set the include.encryption client optionset, in combination with encryption yes?

    we recommend our clients for our clients using our SPFS product - a filesystem for spectrum protect

    eg
    cloptset:

    ENCRYPTION YES
    INCLEXCL INCLUDE.ENCRYPTION /.../*

    for more details, contact check out the spfs product examples
