IT09632: MISLEADING ANS4007E ERROR GENERATED DURING THE ATTEMPTED RESTORE OF A SYMBOLIC LINK

IBM Spectrum Protectâ„¢ Client 7.1.4 Downloads and READMEs

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The attempted restore of a symbolic link may fail due to the
  following error:
  
     ANS4007E Error processing '/path': access to the object is
     denied
  
  The ANS4007E error suggests a permissions problem, but this
  error may also be generated due to either of the following
  conditions:
  
     o a file or directory by the same name already exists
     o the filesystem is read-only
  
  The client should generate a more meaningful message that better
  describes the reason for the failure.
