IC91540: "DSMC Q BACKUPSET" MAY NOT LIST ALL BACKUPSETS

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V6.3 Fix Pack 5 (6.3.5.000) Server Downloads

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A list of backupsets from a Tivoli Storage Manager Client ("dsmc
  query backupset") may not show all the generated backupsets
  that are instead all correctly visible and listed on the Tivoli
  Storage Manager Server ("query backupset").
  
  
  
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics:
  To check if you are affected by this APAR you need to run a
  Tivoli Storage Manager client "service verbdetail " trace though
  the original defect is within the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
  
  A client  "SERVICE VERBDETAIL" trace collected on Tivoli Storage
  Manager Client while running the "dsmc query backupset"  will
  show the following message:
  
  highlev.cpp(2405): hlQueryBackupSet: cannot
  process:<backupset_name>  Skipping. Uplevel server generated
  backupset.
  
  
  This issue occurs even if the client is at a known level that
  supports the server level that contains the backupset.
  
  
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
  Tivoli Storage Manager Server V.6.x on all platforms
  
  
  
  Initial Impact:
  Medium
  
  
  
  Additional Keywords:
  TSM DSMC QUERY BACKUPSET LIST VISIBLE
