IT09752: MAC DSMJ ANS0267E INVALID COMMAND LINE OPTION/VALUE: '-PSN_0_114716'

IBM Spectrum Protectâ„¢ client 7.1.3.x interim fix downloads

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• MAC Backup-Archive Client 7.1.2 starting DSMJ from icon/gui
  error message ANS0267E Invalid command line option/value:
  '-psn_0_114716' is generated. MAC OS Level 10.8.5
  
  Starting at MAC OS 10.2 if an application is loaded, by clicking
  on its icon, the Process Manager adds one extra argument  which
  is the "process serial number" (PSN). This argument is preceded
  with "-", thereby looking exactly as Tivoli Storage Manager
  Client option.  DSMJ can take additional arguments when started
  and they are parsed and checked for their validity and then
  passed to the dsmagent.  This argument is not a valid client
  option and fails with the ANS0267E.
  
  This issue seems to happen only on some OS X versions.   Mac OS
  X 10.10.2 and OS X 10.10.3 this doesn't occur whereas it does on
  OS X 10.8.5.
  
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics (if applicable)
  NONE
  
  *NOTE*
  the "-psn_0_xxxxxx" is the process number and can be different
  with each Backup-Archive Client
  
  Platforms affected:
  MAC  7.1.2
  
  Initial Impact: Medium
  
  Additional Keywords:   Operating System MacIntosh
  
   |MDVREGR 7.1.2.0|
  

Local fix

• Launch dsmj from a command line
