Dear ADSM friends,
I do not know if any of you have already experienced this problem when
using DSMC incr x sel. In some way, this is a known "feature" (or a
problem, I do not know) that can lead many of US to a completely different
condition.
The case is that when I run " DSMC SEL ", ADSM does NOT BIND/REBIND the
files, so it DOES NOT check if it is active/inactive.
When I run "DSMC INCR", ADSM DOES the BIND/REBIND and of course, check if a
file has been deleted or not.
Up to now, nothing NEW, but consider the following scenario:
CASE 1
file /tmp/test.txt
date pass command issued
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
1/1/97 1 - DSMC SEL /tmp/test.txt (file will be backed up and set as
1/1/97 1 - DSMC SEL /tmp/test.txt (file will be backed up and set as
ACTIVE)
1/13/97 2 - delete the file (rm /tmp/test.txt) Server has the
file as
ACTIVE still.
1/20/97 3.1 - today (1/20/97), you want to "restore" your
machine, so you
could use DSMC -LATEST. You will get the file /tmp/test.txt. (END OF CASE
1)
***********
***********
CASE 2
file /tmp/test.txt
date pass command issued
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
1/1/97 1 - DSMC SEL /tmp/test.txt (file will be backed up and set as
1/1/97 1 - DSMC SEL /tmp/test.txt (file will be backed up and set as
ACTIVE)
1/13/97 2 - delete the file (rm /tmp/test.txt) Server has the
fiel as
ACTIVE still.
1/15/97 3 - DSMC INCR /tmp/test.txt (file will be backed up
and set as
INACTIVE)
1/20/97 4 - today (1/20/97), you want to "restore" your
machine, so you
could use DSMC -LATEST. You will NOT get the file /tmp/test.txt. (END OF
CASE 2)
*** So, you should AWARE if the LAST command issued was a INCR whether a
SEL. ***
Again, this is not a problem report. It is much a " beware of the dog ",
since I feel some of us may face this problem (or any other "misuse") of
some commands.
I wish to share my test with you just to give a hint.
If it is of any help. I will feel OK.
(By the way, have you got any interesting tests like that? You may send it
to me too)
