IC89598: ANS1115W WITH EMPTY FILE NAME CAN BE ISSUED IF BACKUP COPY GROUP POINTS TO STORAGE POOL THAT DOES NOT EXIST

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Client 7.1.1 Downloads and READMEs
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) client 6.3.2.x interim fix downloads - EOL

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During a Tivoli Storage Manager client BACKUP VM command, the
  backup may issue the following messages
  in the error log
  XX/XX/XXXX XX:XX:XX ANS1115W File '' excluded by Include/Exclude
  list
  XX/XX/XXXX XX:XX:XX ANS1115W File 'MACHINE1' excluded by
  Include/Exclude list
  In this case the object being process is not excluded. The
  management class being used
  had an invalid storage pool in the copygroup. This will occur if
  the storage pool specified does not actually
  exist.
  Note: This problem will only occur during a 'BACKUP VM' process.
  The client should provide better details about the reason it
  could not process the object(s) rather than
  issuing a message the object is excluded. The duplicate ANS1115W
  messages should be removed.
