Hi Michael,

This could be the problem described in APAR PQ31769:

==============
 PROBLEM SUMMARY:
 ****************************************************************
 * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
 Users of ADSM servers which service no query restore request
 from backup/archive clients.
 ****************************************************************
 * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
 During no query restore operations, the restore may
 fail with an ANR9999D SMNQR(235) Invalid Object Header
 State in retrieve operation for session.....

 A logic error occurred in the server did not reset
 certain control information following a sink error.
 As a result the above message was issued due to the
 object header size being incorrect.
===============

The 3.1.2.55 level does include the fix for this APAR.
You can download the fixtest from the ftp site:

Subject:  Invalid Object Header Encountered




Hi all,

I want restore a folder from a NT client 3.1.0.3, the NT ADSM server is
3.1.2.50.
I have a server-to-server connection, and a servercopypool.
Normally I have no problem, but by one restore I have this failure:

ANR9999D smtrans.c(1141): Invalid Object Header Encountered.

The restore failed!

Can I do anything to restore the data?
What is wrong, could I have this failure by another restore in the future?

Thanks in advance.

Michael
