IT47557: QUERY FSCOUNTS DOCUMENTATION INCORRECTLY SAYS THAT FORMAT=DETAILED IS A VALID OPTION

8.1.26.000-IBM-SPSRV-LIC-Linuxx86_64-073

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• The online documentation and help from within the admin
  client, indicate that
  query fscounts has a format=detailed option.
  
  For example:
  https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/storage-protect/8.1.25?topic=comman
  ds-query-fscounts-query-number-objects
  
  and
  
  
  help query fscounts
  
  This is incorrect, as the format=detailed option is not valid,
  and if run it will report error:
  
  query fscount NODE_NAME format=detailed
  ANR3561E QUERY FSCOUNTS: Keyword parameter F is not recognized.
  The following keyword parameters are valid: NAMEType, CODEType.
  ANR3589I QUERY FSCOUNTS: For more information, issue the HELP
  QUERY FSCOUNTS command.
  
  IBM Storage Protect Versions Affected: IBM Storage Protect
  Server V8.1.4 and higher
  
  Additional Keywords: TS018249240 query fscounts
  

Local fix

• Run query fscounts without format=detailed option.
