Error description

• Error Description:  When OpenVMS files are backed up using the
  client option of  "compress yes" and is stored in a directory
  container pool, it is not able to be restored. No messages are
  reported on the server activity log. However if the backup is
  directed to a file pool, this problem is not seen. Also, if a
  backup without the option of  "compress yes" is performed to a
  directory container pool, the problem will not occur.
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: All 7.1.3.000 servers
  and later
  
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics: Verify that the client option "compress
  yes" is being used and that the data is being stored in a
  Directory Container pool.
  
  The following is seen when performing the restore:
  
  ABC> restore sys$login:login.com test.txt/log/sum
  %ABC-I-QRYPASS, 13:42:17.87 Scanning catalog for
  restore/retrieve candidates
  %ABC-I-RSTPASS, 13:42:17.92 Restoring/retrieving file data from
  the server
  %ABC-W-PROCERR, error processing $1$DGA65:[TEST]TEST.TXT;153
  -ABC-W-OBJHDRLOST, file information from server is incomplete
  
  Initial Impact: Low
  
  Additional Keywords: restore OpenVMS compress compression dir
  container directory
  

Local fix

• Do not use the "compress yes" option or backup data to a FILE
  storage pool.
