IBM Spectrum Protect Server V8.1 Fix Pack 5 (V8.1.5) Downloads
APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
If an IBM Spectrum Protect server administrative schedule is defined with the WAIT=YES parameter the schedule MAXRUNTIME parameter is ignored. As an example, the following two admin schedules will honor the MAXRUNTIME parameter backup stgpool <SRCPOOL> <TRGTPOOL> backup stgpool <SRCPOOL> <TRGTPOOL> wait=no. The maxruntime parameter is ignored with the following schedule definition: backup stgpool <SRCPOOL> <TRGTPOOL> wait=yes. The behaviour is expected and working as designed, however a message should be issued so the administrator is aware that the command will run to completion. The notion is that if WAIT=YES is specified, that it should run to completion because there is an expected "next" dependent action in a script or such that is awaiting that completion. IBM Spectrum Protect Versions Affected: 7.1.1 and newer, 8.1 Initial Impact: Low Additional Keywords: schedule TSM DURATION
Local fix
do not specify WAIT=YES if you want the MAXRUNTIME to be in effect
