Richard Thanks


On archive and the 10-28 archive, I performed the list
q ar docgw21\migrate:gwc11282008/* -sub=yes
and
q ar docgw21\migrate:gwc10312008/* -sub=yes

Both listings stop after reaching barely a 1/4 into the directory COHQ/OFFILES



q ar docgw21\migrate:gwc11282008/cohq/ofuser/* -sub=yes
I get no files matching search criteria were found.

If they perform that search at this directory level,
q ar docgw21\migrate:gwc11282008/cohq/ofuser/* -sub=yes
they get no files matching search criteria were found.


The q filespace command lists 2 filespaces for each of these restores
docgw21\migrate: and dochub1\migrate:


Examine your retention values: the files of interest might have aged out.

These files are in the Archive Domain so they should be there forever or at 
least a very long time. BTW Do you happen to know how to check the retentions 
using the ISC?


Thanks

Experiment via 'dsmc query archive' before attempting 'dsmc retrieve', to 
verify the existence of your quarry.

Make sure you are either the owner of the files or a superuser, for the access 
attempt to work.
You could also try putting braces around the filespace-specific portion of the 
path name, which at least on other platforms is a way of keeping the client 
from being confused as to how much of the path is the filespace name.  (You can 
do 'dsmc query filespace' to verify what's out there.)
