Re: AW: [ADSM-L] What does "updated" really mean?

Thomas,

Thanks very much.  That is what I would expect given our work this 
weekend.

And although I've checked Richard's site before, I simply forgot to check 
it today.  Monday morning and all that...

AW: [ADSM-L] What does "updated" really mean?






Always first have a look at Richards fabulous TSM site: 
http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.funcdir
Objects Updated                         "Total number of objects updated"
                                        element in a backup statistics 
summary.
                                        The Objects Updated field displays 
the
                                        number of files or directories 
whose
                                        contents did not change but whose
                                        attributes or ACLs had changed. 
The
                                        server updates its information 
about the
                                        attributes or ACLs without the 
objects
                                        themselves having to be sent to 
the
                                        server.

Betreff: [ADSM-L] What does "updated" really mean?


Server: TSM 5.1.10.0 on AIX 5.2;  client: TSM 5.1.7.0 on Windows 2003

I'm trying to understand what the client is reporting in the session
summary when it reports:
"01/23/2006 08:20:23  ANE4958I (Session: 47866, Node: ILOX-FS1)  Total
number of objects updated:    673,012"

I've checked  the product manuals, message manuals, IBM software support
site, and the forum site.

What exactly is being "updated?"

We made some changes to that server over the weekend so the presence of
the message and its non-zero count is no surprise.  But I'd still like to
understand exactly what TSM is trying to tell me.

Thanks.
