I may not be able to directly answer your question but from what your
schedule looks like you may be having a problem we also had. My first
solution was to create 2 separate schedules to run, one right after the
other, with half the objects in each one which worked fine. Then I started
to notice that the 'bytes transferred' in the archives with special files
specified in the objects
(i.e. OBJECTS='"G:\DATA\ACCESS\184 BACKUPS\*) started to get noticeably
much larger then before. Our particular Client this happened on was a
Lotus Notes W2K server on which we also do incrementals. Historically the
incrementals were always larger because of the nature of the Notes
Database's, but all of a sudden the 'bytes transferred' in the archives
were double those of the incrementals. Because we specified just certain
files in the archives, versus incrementally backing up everything, they
really should have been much smaller. After going through the schedlog,
file by file, we realized that all the files in the archive where getting
backed up twice! This was because we had also specified in the Options
-SUBDIR=YES. So you may want to look carefully at your schedlog to see if
this may also be happening to you. Something with the SUBDIR has changed
since the archive schedule was originally set up (6yrs ago). Note though,
that the archive schedules with just directories such as (C: D: E: or VOL1,
SYS1 etc.) in the OBJECTS and -SUBDIR=YES in the Options were not getting
backed up twice but ALL files & directories embedded (the word of the year!
: )) under each directory listed were getting archived. So it may be that
all you need is;
OPTIONS="-SUBDIR=YES -ARCHMC=ARCHFSA -DELETEFILES" -
OBJECTS='"G:\DATA\ACCESS\* "' to get everything you need archived.
This may not apply to you but it is worth a shot. Hope it is helpful.

Hi,
I am seeing the following message in a dsmerror.log from one of my client
nodes
ANS1102E Excessive number of command line arguments passed to the program
This means i can have up to 20 file names in the argument. My schedule
looks like this:
DEFINE SCHEDULE CISCO ARCHIVE-UTPDC -
DESCRIPTION="ARCHIVE THE FSA UNIT TRUST FILE" -
ACTION=ARCHIVE -
OPTIONS="-SUBDIR=YES -ARCHMC=ARCHFSA -DELETEFILES" -
OBJECTS='"G:\DATA\ACCESS\184 BACKUPS\* "' -
'"G:\DATA\ACCESS\57 BACKUPS\* "' -
'"G:\DATA\ACCESS\578 BACKUPS\* "' -
'"G:\DATA\ACCESS\1263 BACKUP\* "' -
'"G:\DATA\ACCESS\182MAN BACKUP\* "' -
'"G:\DATA\ACCESS\182SYSTEM BACKUP\* "' -
'"G:\DATA\ACCESS\CISPS SPT DATABASE BACKUP\* "' -
'"G:\DATA\ACCESS\CISUM SPT DATABASE BACKUP\* "' -
PRIORITY=5 -
STARTDATE=11/13/2002 STARTTIME=14:00:00 DURATION=1 -
DURUNITS=HOURS PERIOD=1 -
PERUNITS=DAYS DAYOFWEEK=SUNDAY
So i only have 8 directories that i want to archive. What confuses me is
that we have been running this command schedule for some months now,
without problem. It started last week, and happened again yesterday.
The TSM server is 5.1.5.2 running on z/os 1.3 mainframe
The TSM client is 4.1.2.0
I have read in the archives (re Richard Sims) from Feb 2001, but i have
less than the maximum allowed.
Any thoughts?
