APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The ANR1650W message is observed intermittently and frequently
  in the activity log, even though the replication operation
  finishes without errors.
  
  To synchronize data and eliminate the warning, replication must
  be manually executed with the parameter:
  FORCERECONCILE=FULL
  
  The warning temporarily disappears after one or more
  replications but often reappears in subsequent cycles.
  
  This behaviour may indicate inconsistencies between source and
  target server object tracking.
  
  DB2 Validation:
  Affected systems may observe this condition if the following DB2
  query on the Spectrum Protect server returns a non-zero result:
  
  $ db2 "select count from tsmdb1.replicating_objects nrrg where
  nrrg.copytype=1 and not exists (select objid from
  tsmdb1.backup_objects imbk where imbk.objid=nrrg.objid) with ur
  for read only"
  
  $ db2 "select count from tsmdb1.replicating_objects nrrg where
  nrrg.copytype=2 and not exists (select objid from
  tsmdb1.archive_objects imt where imt.objid=nrrg.objid) with ur
  for read only"
  
  A non-zero count from this query indicates that there are
  objects still listed in the replicating objects table on the
  source server which no longer exist on the source server. As a
  result, the next replication cycle attempts to replicate these
  stale entries again, causing the ANR1650W warning to be issued.
  
  IBM Storage Protect Versions Affected:
  IBM Storage Protect Server on all supported platforms.
  
  Additional Keywords: partially replicated data, replication,
  

Local fix

• Replication must be manually executed with the parameter:
  FORCERECONCILE=FULL
