ALTER SYNCFILESET
Note that the interval is the time to delay from the completion of one 
synchronization until the start of the next synchronization.
KEEPB[ACKUPINFILE] | NO KEEPB[ACKUPINFILE]
instructs AutoSYNC to retain (or stop retaining) BACKUP and RESTORE input 
files. By default, these files are temporary and they are purged after the 
synchronization has completed.
This option is used for troubleshooting only. 
The name of the input file is in the format of ZBKnnnnn for BACKUP and 
ZRSnnnnn for RESTORE, where nnnnn is a serial number. The files are 
placed in the MapDB subvolume. The exact file name is displayed in the 
syncuser’s log file SLnnnggg.
Input files are not created if no files require synchronization. For BACKUP, the 
input file is always created when files are synchronized. For RESTORE, the 
input file is created only when files are synchronized and the MAPNAMES 
option is specified.
For OSS file sets, the BACKUP input files is an entry-sequenced file that 
contains the names of the files and directories to be synchronized, in addition 
to internal file information.
KEEPS[ECURITY] | NO KEEPS[ECURITY]

destination file.
KEEPSECURITY overrides the SECURE and NETWORKSECURE options.
LIST[ALL] | NO LIST[ALL]
includes all file names that are processed by BACKUP and RESTORE in the 
log.
OPENU[PDATE] [ n [ SECONDS | MINUTES | HOURS ] 
  | NO OPENU[PDATE]
specifies that a source file that is opened for update is eligible for 
synchronization. By default, AutoSYNC does not synchronize files that are 
opened for update. OPENUPDATE overrides the default behavior.
n [ SECONDS | MINUTES | HOURS ]
the interval during which the source file must remain unchanged to be 
considered for synchronization. The default unit of time is MINUTES. If 
omitted, the openupdate interval is the same as the synchronization 
interval.
The time elapsed is computed from the last time the file was modified. The 
candidate files can be opened for WRITE or READ-WRITE access. The
