IC85215: HSM FOR WINDOWS BACKUP BEFORE MIGRATE FAILS FOR FILES WITH TRAILING DOLLAR SIGN

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Problem Description:
  HSM for Windows does not migrate files with file names, that end
  with a dollar sign, if backup-before-migrate is active. If such
  a file is found  migration stops. In some situations HSM for
  Windows considers a file ending on a dollar sign as a directory
  and appends a trailing backslash to it.
  
  Affected Products: HSM for Windows 6.3.0.0 - 6.3.0.1 (inclusive)
  
  Customer/L2 diagnostics (if applicable): Check the trace file of
  the migrating application (dsmgui.log or dsmclc.log). Search ff
  entries like:

   E: Backup failed for '\\myserver\u$\user\mydir\myfile$\*':
      Errno-value:    0x03000005 (E: Backup problem)
      Originator:     Backup, error code 4L (0x00000004L): <No
  originator error text>
      Message-number: ANS27498E
      Message-text:   The file \\myserver\u$\user\mydir\myfile$\*
  could not be backed up.
      Explanation:    Backup failed for some file.
      System action:  The file will be excluded from migration.
      User response:  Check the B/A client log file(s) for a
  reason. If backup failed due to a global failure, also check the
  log files of the program you ran for migration.
  
  In this sample "myfile$" is a file name.
  
  Additional Keywords: HSM for Windows, Backup-before-migrate,
  Files with trailing dollar sign
  

Local fix

• Create migration jobs, that do not address files ending with a
  dollar sign.
