IC84698: CLIENT-SIDE DEDUPLICATED DATA MAY FAIL TO IMPORT TO THE TARGET SERVER

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Under some circumstances, client-side deduplicated objects will
  be exported to the media without a corresponding deduplication
  flag in the data stream. As a result, when importing data into a
  target Tivoli Storage Manager server, it will invalidly attempt
  to store the objects in a non-deduplicated format. The following
  error will be encountered in the activity log when this
  condition occurs:
