Re: Which message is causing which RC
Hi, I have same problem and question as mentioned bellow. This is written in client manual about return codes: RC=4The operation completed successfully, but some files were not processed. There were no other errors or warnings. This return code is very common. Files are not processed for various reasons. The most common reasons are: * The file is in an exclude list. * The file was in use by another application and could not be accessed by the client. * The file changed during the operation to an extent prohibited by the copy serialization attribute. See Copy serialization. The obvious message causing RC=4 is ANS4987E (file in use) and ANS1115W (file excluded). Let's have a file skipped during backup because of permissions (message ANR1448E). Based on the explanation in client manual, also this message should cause RC=4, but is causing RC=12 (general error). I want to know, which messages (exactly) are causing RC=4. Is it configurable or can it be changed in next releases? -- rado b Why Did You Reboot That Machine? On Sat, 26 Jul 2003, Andrew Raibeck wrote: See the client manual chapter on Automating tasks.

Re: Which message is causing which RC
ANS4987E - should be generating RC 4, not RC 12. ANS1115W - should be generating RC 4, not RC 8. ANS1448E - should be generating RC 4, not RC 12. You are correct about this one, it is indeed broken in 5.1, and is fixed in 5.2. This problem is described in APAR IC36305. The return codes associated with each message are not configurable, nor are there any plans to make them configurable. The specific messages that result in RC 4 are undocumented, and there are no plans to document them. Rather, we rely on the description of the behavior, as you quoted from the client manual. On the surface, it may seem desirable to document the messages. On the other hand, even if I could point you to a document that says ANS1448E causes return code 'x', that would not be very helpful to you. The fact is, documented or not, the actual behavior contradicts the documented behavior of the return codes, and thus is a bug. If you are finding that ANS4987E and ANS1115W are not behaving as I described above AND/OR you require a 5.1-based fix for IC36305, the please contact IBM support. Note that other warning or error level messages unrelated to skipped files (except for ANS4987E) may be causing the 4 return code. If you are getting ANS1448E in the same operation as ANS1115W or ANS4987E, then that is why you are getting RC 12.

Which message is causing which RC
hi, i'am searching a documentation for the TSM client 5.x, which TSM message is causing which returncode for the TSM client commandline interface. within the available messages-documentation there is no info about the resulting RC (0 or 4 or 8 or 12). does someone know where i can find such a docu. Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards Uwe Schreiber

Uwe Schreiber [EMAIL PROTECTED] but there's no detailed information which messages will cause RC 4. Hello, from the admin command line tsm: TSM01HELP QUERY EVENT [...] Result Specifies the return code from the client that identifies whether the schedule has processed successfully. If the return code is other than a zero, examine the client's error log and schedule log.
