Problems after export node using CommonStore 8.4 for SAP

[Lenggi]

Hello,
We have done an export node from a TSM server on AIX 5.2 to Suse Linux 10 Enterprise. TSM server version on Suse is 5.5.2. Data was archived from SAP 4.0B through Common Store. On Suse we have installed and configured CommonStore 8.4.
We first had the problem that CommonStore wasn't able to find the objects in the filespaces. The objects were put to archive with admin permissions and the objects were listed with empty owner field. After we changed permissions to allow everyone access the objects in TSM, CommonStore found them. We were also able to restore the objects using the local TSM client. Still the problems with CommonStore remain. It finds the objects but when trying to restore the files into the filesystem, the created files have zero size. This only happens to the archived files that were moved to the new TSM using export node. If objects are archived on new TSM using same configuration from SAP, also the retrieve works without issue. Anyone experienced same?
Many thanks! Martin

is it possible that client (or API) version on old setup was newer than on new one?
Check if there is any kind of version discrepancy of TSM/common store components on old and nev setup.

When we issue the export, in the actlog were there any error message?

Please post the actlog starting when we issue the export command.

Good Luck,
Sias

Many thanks for your replies. The CommonStore on old server has version 7.1. TSM server version is 5.3. The export node worked perfectly and we are able to retrieve data on new TSM server using TSM client. Just retrieve using the new CommonStore 8.4.0.1 fails. Below the part in the CommonStore trace file of the concerned retrieve:

We are doing the same you things you did and we are having the same kinds of problems. Did you get this resolved?
