I have an AIX 6.1 database server where every night, like clockwork, the backup of /apps stops.
Client is 7.1.1
The schedule shows thus:
07/24/15 22:03:17 ANS1999E Incremental processing of '/usr' stopped.
07/24/15 22:03:23 ANS1999E Incremental processing of '/apps' stopped.
07/24/15 22:03:23 --- SCHEDULEREC STATUS BEGIN
07/24/15 22:03:23 Total number of objects inspected: 141,959
07/24/15 22:03:23 Total number of objects backed up: 25
...
07/24/15 22:03:23 ANS1512E Scheduled event 'INCR_2200' failed. Return code =
12.

The error log only shows this:
07/24/15 22:03:17 ANS1999E Incremental processing of '/usr' stopped.
07/24/15 22:03:23 ANS1999E Incremental processing of '/apps' stopped.

07/24/15 22:03:23 ANS1512E Scheduled event 'INCR_2200' failed. Return code =
12.


I tried running a manual backup of /apps and /user and they both come back with the ANS1999E error immediately.

All of IBM's documentation I can find on the error applies to version 5.x of the client, or to Linux or Windows OS.

Anyone have any suggestions?

ANS1999E is kind of an exception error code, it can apply to multiple types of problem. Check the TSM Server activity log around that time in case it's server related. If not, you will likely need to open a PMR to troubleshoot further.

Most of 'processing stopped' problems I met was solved by setting ulimit -d and ulimit -s values (to higher or unlimited).
In my case Scheduler launches a script that launch backup, so I just set up ulimit in the script.

But does the incremental finish correctly when launched manually? Try running
dsmc i /var
if fails, try with
ulimit -d unlimited; ulimit -s unlimited; dsmc i /var

If I just run dsmc i /var or dsmc i /apps it fails with processing stopped.

Ran it with the ulimits set and it ran fine. Oddly, the system variables indicate that the ulimits for root (where dsmcad and dsmc run) are unlimited already.
May need to create a script on this one instead of just invoking an incremental.
