APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If an IBM Spectrum Protect replication target server has
  duplicate replicated objects that map to the same source server
  object, an issue has been identified with the replication
  process so that two FORCERECONCILE runs are needed to sync the
  server objects again.
  Under the APAR condition, the first forcereconcile=yes deletes
  all the duplicate objects on the target server and the second
  replication with forcereconcile=yes is needed to resend any
  missed objects to the target server.
  
  To verify if you are exposed to this APAR, the following SQL can
  be used before you initiate a replication with
  "FORCERECONCILE=YES":
  
  db2 connect to tsmdb1
  db2 "select count(objid), repl_OBJID, nodeid from
  tsmdb1.replicated_objects group by repl_objid, nodeid having
  count(objid)>1"
  
  If you get a non empty result back, you are exposed to this
  APAR.
  
    IBM Spectrum Protect Versions Affected: 7.1.1 and newer, 8.1
    Initial Impact: Medium
    Additional Keywords: TSM REPLICATION FORCERECONCILE sync
  server objects
  

Local fix

• If you see the source server holding more objects than the
  target server and if you are in doubt about the replication sync
  state, run replicate node with "forcereconcile=yes" twice
