Problem conclusion

• IBM Spectrum Protect Plus handling of agent options has been
  improved to accept empty user input for the "Exclude Files"
  option.  Furthermore, a "Set all options to inherit" button has
  been provided to set all resource options, including "Exclude
  Files", to inherit from the parent resource.
