IT21056: DUPLICATE ANS1899I MESSAGES ARE ISSUED DURING SYSTEM STATE BACKUP

IBM Spectrum Protectâ„¢ Client 8.1.4 Downloads and READMEs

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During system state backup, duplicate ANS1899I messages may be
  issued. This can happen when the backup progress is minimal. The
   client issues ANS1899I message when 500 objects were processed,
   however sometimes the count is not increased despite the fact
  that some objects were processed, and as result the client
  prints ANS1899I message twice or more.
  
  Example:
  
  05/03/2017 18:29:27 ANS1899I ***** Examined   109,000 files
  *****
  05/03/2017 18:29:27 ANS1899I ***** Examined   109,000 files
  *****
  05/03/2017 18:29:27 ANS1899I ***** Examined   109,000 files
