TSM Server 5.2.7.0
TSM Client 5.2.2.0
Host O/S AIX 5.3

I have an AIX 5.3 host that has backed up an application installed JAVA JRE 
that needs to do a restore of said JRE.  The application programmer has 
actually restored the directory structure and as documented the 5 symbolic 
links in the directory structure are backed up and restored as plain files and 
directories (documented in TSM client manual).

Anyway - the application using the restored JRE will not function, apparently 
there is some difference due to the actual directories/files being there versus 
the original symlinks.  If I remove the 5 target of the symlinks and recreate 
them as symbolic links - then the application using the restored JRE will 
function correctly.

Anyone ever seen anything like this?  Should I just teach my programmers that 
it is their responsibility to manage symbolic links after a restore?

Thanks!
