IT19406: EMPTY DATA MOVER FIELD IN THE SCHEDULER SETUP WIZARD

Download Information: Version 8.1.2 IBM Spectrum Protectâ„¢ for Virtual Environments

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Editing a schedule in the GUI wizard might sometimes display an
  empty data mover drop down list instead of the expected
  configured data mover.
  That can happen if the existing schedule definition on the
  server was edited using the server command 'UPDATE SCHEDULE'
  and the 'OPTIONS' value '-DOMAIN.VMFULL' was changed to contain
  only :
  "VMFOLDER=<vSphere foldername>"
  In that case, the schedule itself will work as expected, but
  further editing the schedule via the GUI wizard will display an
  empty data mover field.
  
  IBM Spectrum Protect Versions Affected:
  All supported IBM Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments -
  Data Protection for VMware on Windows and Linux
  
  Initial Impact: Low
  
  Additional Keywords: tsm tdp4ve tsm4ve gui wizard schedule
  empty drop down list
  

Local fix

• Edit the schedule back to the original values and proceed for
  further editions to use only the GUI wizard.
  or
  If the need exists to have only the VMFOLDER parameter in the
  DOMAIN.VMFULL client option, do not use the GUI.
