Regarding the long file name issue, you should refer to APAR IC27346. This
APAR has a fairly detailed explanation of the problem and should answer
most of your questions on this subject. If you have access to looking up
IBM APARs, you can go that route. Otherwise try looking in the ADSM-L
archives at http://www.adsm.org. Use search criteria of:

   +ic27346 +raibeck +useunicodefilenames

That should give you a relatively small number of hits; one of them should
be a post of mine that includes the APAR text. Of course, you can do less
refined searches if you want to see more postings that discuss this issue.

        Subject:        ANS1512E Scheduled event 'OVERNIGHT' failed after
ANS4018E "file    name
too long"



We run TSM V4.1 server under OS390 V2.9.  A Windows NT4 client is doing a
scheduled backup of the C, D and E drives.  The C drive backup completes
ok
but the D drive backup fails with ANS1228E "Sending of object
xxx........................ failed" and ANS4018E "Error processing
xxx.......................... : file name too long".

This is followed by a backup of a further directory and two files.  Then
message ANS4018E "Error procesing D drive : file name too long" is given.

A large number of files on the D drive are not backed up and nothing on
the
E drive is backed up.

I have an issue open with the IBM Support Centre but they say the backup
should not have aborted.

I have the following questions:

1.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?

2.  The TSM V4.1 Windows Client manual states "The maximum number of
characters for a file name is 256.  The maximum number of characters for a
path name is 260 characters."  Does anyone know what the Windows NT 4
limit
is for these values?

3.  It looks like in the short term we will have to get our customers to
shorten their path names.  However, if Windows can create file names and
path names greater than the above limits, can someone in IBM / TIVOLI
comment on why the TSM client limits are less than the Windows limits and
is
there any intention of increasing these limits?

Thanks.
