Error description
A database restore may fail with ANR4593E Restore database unable to find eligible candidate to use for processing. ANR4602E No volumes found for TODATE 03/02/2015 23:59:59. or restore from the wrong backup sequence if the volume history file gets manipulated. E.g. if you save the file from a Windows editor, CTRL-M ("^M", carriage return) characters can be appended to each line which results in the ANR4593E message. Another symptom can be a change to the casing of a database backup description, e.g. from "Operation Date/Time:" to "Operation date/Time:" Tracing the restore with traceflag ICBACK will report the following for the casing symptom: 17:36:29.923 [0][icvolhst.c][8207][AssignRestoreStanzaFromVolHist]:doThisLine =0, cmpResult=-1 for line='Operation Date/Time: ' 17:36:29.923 [0][icvolhst.c][8190][AssignRestoreStanzaFromVolHist]:Read line Operation date/Time: 2015/02/19 04:04:31 from volhist file volhist.dat. This can either result in the ANR4593E message or the restore from an unexpected database backup sequence. Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: all supported Customer/L2 Diagnostics: trace with traceflag ICBACK Initial Impact: Low Additional Keywords: TSM PIT
Local fix
remove trailing CTRL-M characters if present and make sure the following casing is used for "database backup volume" volume description: Operation Date/Time: Volume Type: Volume Name: Database Backup HLA: Backup Series: Backup Op: Volume Seq: Device Class Name:
