IT00973: TEMPORARY XML FILES NOT DELETED AFTER 'BACKUP VM'

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Client 7.1.1 Downloads and READMEs

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• At each VM backup, xml data is generated in the user temp
  directory as a result of the Advanced Directory Protection check
  done by the client within the VM guest.
  For example in  C:\Users\xTSMService\AppData\Local\Temp\2\
  a directory <vmname>-vss_manifestsxx.zip_unzip containing
  several xml files is generated and should be deleted when the
  backup completes.
  This might not happen and will therefore fill up the directory.
  This is seen only on Windows datamovers, not on Linux.
  
  Note: The directory the files are saved in is
  dependent on the Windows TEMP environment variable.
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
  Tivoli Storage Manager Client 7.1 on Windows
  
  Initial Impact: Low
  
  Additional Keywords: zz71 TSM4VE AD TDP4VE writer.xml backup.xml
  vmware active directory
  

Local fix

• Until the fix is available, it is safe to delete these
  <vmname>-vss_manifestsxx.zip_unzip directories and their
  contents after the backup is completed.
