The owner of an archive is the ID that performed the archive, given
     that user id had at least read access to the file to begin with.  To
     see the archive and/or retrieve it you must either be the ID that
     archived the file, be root, OR from the id that archive the file
     perform a "set access archive /oracle/data/backup/*/*   *    *"

     OK in reading a little further... are the files in subdirectories?
     if so, you must add the -subdir=yes to the query request...
     the webclient might default to subdir=yes...

     later,
          Dwight

Hi,

On an AIX ADSM-client, I have been trying to display (and retrieve) the
files that I archived, using the command line interface. So far I haven't
been able to see anything but directories. Please tell me what I am doing
wrong...

Files are archived with a scheduled command: ARCHIVE /oracle/data/backup/;
dsmsched.log shows files being sent to the server;
"dsmc Q AR /oracle/data/backup/" only gives me a list of archived
directories;
"dsmc Q AR -filesonly /oracle/data/backup" doesn't match anything.

With the webclient, I do see the files however.

Any suggestions?

Martijn.
