There is no way to modify TSM behavior as you describe. In fact, your
statement about excluding the files is exactly one of the reasons why TSM
behaves as it does: so you can evaluate the reasons for the missed files,
and take the necessary actions. We feel that it is better to flag the
backup with an RC 4 and let you decide that you don't need backups for the
particular files, than to flag the backup with an RC 0, only to discover
after it is too late that you really needed the backups (in which case,
you'd probably be asking why TSM didn't warn you that it couldn't back up
the files).

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.

Subject: DSMC Exit Code Question
I had an intersting question posed to me today and I don't have an
answer. This person is checking the return code on the dsmc command to
determine if the backup needs to be looked at or not. What he is coming
across is files that are in the directory when the directory is scanned,
but gone when the backup tries to back the file up. We did figure out
we could probably exclude the files, but what we would like is for TSM
not to give a non-zero return code what a file is not found. Thanks for
any input into this matter.
