This was already discussed in the list. Look for the thread "Windows client behavior change at 4.2.1.0" and answer of Andrew Raibeck from 9.10.2001. But it is possible that Andy and this Bob are just having different PERSONAL opinions. We still do not have answer from any Tivoli official, do we?
Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant "Subash, Chandra" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 18.10.2001 07:41:31 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: FW: v4.2.1 TSM Clients i HAVE GOT THIS EMAIL FROM ONE OF MY FRIENDS. GUYS WHAT DO YOU THINK IS IT TRUE ? Hi Guys According to Tivoli Support they have made an alteration to way client v4.2.1 reports Result code 4 to the server. Earlier version clients would allow for a certain number of files to fail during the backup and still report to the server that the Schedule was successful. However version 4.2.1 has been altered so that a result code of failed will be reported to the server even if 1 file fails during a backup. ntcmachine had been failing on some WINNT system files which I have added exceptions for under direction of Tivoli support and now backups of this machine seem to be successful. Bob from Tivoli suggested that if we are worried about seeing failed result codes on the daily report that there may be a way to generate a report listing statistics of how many files or how much data had been backed up from each machine to provide a more accurate picture as to whether the backups were successful.
