IT24327: EXPORT NODE CONTAINING ARCHIVE DATA RESULTS IN ENDING STATISTICS BEING INCORRECT

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

When exporting a node's archive data, this completes
successfully, but the reported amount of bytes that have been
exported far exceeds the actual amount of bytes within the
occupancy table for that node.

Example :

EXPORT NODE MYNODE DEVCLASS=MYDEVCLASS FILEData=ARCHIVE

Would show the following similar output within the activity log
:

ANR0609I EXPORT NODE started as process 27. (SESSION: 6203,
PROCESS: 27)

ANR0631I EXPORT NODE: Copied 20317899 megabytes of data.
(SESSION: 6203,PROCESS: 27)
ANR0986I Process 27 for EXPORT NODE running in the BACKGROUND
processed  9,084 items for a total of 21,304,861,321,613 bytes
with a completion  state of SUCCESS at 22:38:35.

Checking the Q OCCUPANCY output for the node, will show the
node has far less data stored within the filespaces and show
the filespaces hold archive data. The export command
specifying filedata=archive or filedata=allactive would be
affected if the filespaces contain archive data.

This will not affect backup data, nor will this affect the
actual data being exported. This is purely a reporting issue.
