Error processing 'file_space_namepath_namefile_name'. Name exceeds an internal TSM limit.

Explanation

During a file operation, TSM encountered a filename where at least one component of the file name (file_space_name, path_name or directory_name or file_name) exceeded an internal TSM maximum. The internal TSM limits should not be confused with the operating system limits for file_space_name, path_name or directory_name, file_name.

Reduce the size of the filename so that it is smaller that the TSM internal limits.
