IT01023: WILDCARDED 'PREVIEW BACKUP' COMMAND LOGS ANS5250E WHEN RUN AGAINST AN EXCLUDED DIRECTORY

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

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Defining an exclude.dir statement for a directory and then
  running a wildcarded 'dsmc preview backup' command against the
  excluded directory will result in errors being logged to the
  dsmerror.log.
  For example, the following exclude.dir statement is added to the
  dsm.opt file:
  exclude.dir C:\test62
  Either of the following command syntaxes are issued:
  dsmc preview backup c:\test62\*
  dsmc preview backup c:\test62\
  The command will run normally and produce the expected
  dsmprev.txt file, however, the following errors will be seen in
  the dsmerror.log file:
  04/02/2014 10:01:13 ANS5250E An unexpected error was
  encountered.
     TSM function name : GetFileSecurityInfo
     TSM function      : CreateFile() returned '123' for file
  'C:\test62\*'
     TSM return code   : 935
     TSM file          : ntfileio.cpp (9410)
  These errors are erroneous and may be ignored.
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
