You don't qualify what you mean by "failed", but if you simply mean that
the return code from dsmc was 4, then this is a new 5.1 feature, not a
bug. See the "Automating Tasks" chapter in the 5.1 client manual for
information on return codes from the command line client and their
meanings. If you have any other questions on this, let me know.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.

        Subject:        Backup fails when files fail



We have an HP-UX TSM client running 5.1.1.0 code. It connects to a 4.2.3.3
server running under OS/390. A 'dsmc incremental' command on the HP-UX
system failed with an exit status of 4, apparently because three files
failed with ANS1228E and ANS4045E (file not found) messages. I remember
reading about this kind of behavior in Version 4 clients. Has Tivoli
managed to resurrect this bug in Version 5?
