The following directory exists and is skipped: file-space_name directory_path directory_name
The client tried to restore or retrieve the specified directory. The directory exists in the target restore location and the user chose not to replace the existing directory.
The directory can be skipped because the option REPLACE=NO is set, which causes all existing files and directories to be skipped. The directory can be skipped because option REPLACE=PROMPT is set, and the user chooses to skip this directory when prompted.
The directory is skipped, a message is logged in the dsmerror.log log file, and restore or retrieve processing continues with the next object.
No additional action is necessary.
To replace the files, try the operation again and set option REPLACE=ALL. You can set REPLACE=PROMPT and when prompted, choose to replace the directory.
