IT42120: DASHBOARD WARNS OF NO RECENT CATALOG BACKUP WHEN BACKUPS TARGET OBJECT STORAGE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IBM Spectrum Protect Plus supports the backing of its catalog to
  object storage or vSnap targets.   The catalog backup status
  widget on the Dashboard and Policy Overview screens will only
  report proper status of catalog backups to vSnap targets.  For
  IBM Spectrum Protect Plus deployments that rely on catalog
  backups to object storage, catalog backup status reported on
  Dashboard and Policy Overview screens will be incorrect.
  
  
  Versions affected: IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 10.1.12
  

Local fix

• IBM Spectrum Protect Plus catalog backup jobs are reported on
  the Jobs and Operations Job History tab.   The status of catalog
  backups to object storage can be determined by the status of the
  catalog backup job.
