Hi TSMer,



TSM Server AIX 5.2

TSM Server Ver 5.3.0

Client 5.3.4 (windows)



I have a question on these matters.



I perform selective backup on TSM Client and exclude some files.



I got backup status Failed 4 even though no error encountered.



dsm schedule error shows.

==============

10/29/2007 13:46:36 ANS1909E The scheduled command failed.

10/29/2007 13:46:36 ANS1512E Scheduled event 'PC_SEL' failed.  Return code =
4

==============



I understand that while exclude some files in dsm.opt will result to this
errors.

I tried to add this statement to cmd file (quiet)



=============================

cd C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\

dsmc selective -subdir=yes D:\SATJE\  quiet >> "C:\Program
Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\logs\inc_daily.log"

exit

=============================

It seems that noti

ng happened beside less information in the log files.



So I tried to add "exit 0" at the end of cmd file and it does work. The
backup status in completed.

The question arise here, what is the impact of putting "exit 0" while the
backup is having an error and beside doing this, what is the correct
approach to eliminate Failed  4.



Tq.
