Error description

• When running "generate dedupstats" with a wildcard for nodename,
  it can be seen in the outputs in activity log that node names,
  with no data in that
  storage pool, are reported against.
  
  For example, run 'generate dedupstats' against a
  directory-container storage pool called containerpool01 with
  wildcard for nodenames,
  and node name NODE01 has no data in this directory-container
  storage pool, then the following can be seen in activity log.
  
  GENERATE  DEDUPSTATS containerpool01 *
  
  ANR0984I Process 282 for GENERATE DEDUPSTATS started in
  the BACKGROUND
  
  ANR0896I Generated 4 statistics reports about data
  deduplication for node NODE01 in  pool CONTAINERPOOL01.
  
  query process will also show NODE01 being processed by 'generate
  dedupstats'.
  
  The node being incorrectly processed does not affect the results
  of 'generate dedupstats' command
  and 'query dedupstats' will report for nodes only with data in
  the directory-container storage pool.
  
  Ignore the messages for node name(s) with no data in the
  associated storage pool
  
  
  IBM Spectrum Protect versions affected:
  IBM Spectrum Protect Server 7.1.3 and higher,and 8.1 and higher
  on all supported platforms
  
  Initial Impact: Low
