IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V6.3 Fix Pack 6 (6.3.6.000) Server Downloads
APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When a define path is issue for a external library manger, the path definition includes an externalmanager option that points to the actual external library manager applications When the string "ges" (lower or upper case) is found in this string the expectation is that this definition is for a Gresham external library manager so ELMDT should also be part of this specification. If this is not the case then the ANR1736E invalid length message is issued as an indication that the specified option must be too short as it is missing the expected ELMDT call. It is however possible that an external library manager that is not Gresham's EDT using ELMDT could have the string "ges" within it's path. The reporting customer is using eRMM and has a path convention for the external library manager code that includes the machine host name which has the "ges" string. This path string restriction should not exist and needs to be removed. Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: 6.3 and 7.1 all platforms Initial Impact: High Additional Keywords: TSM GES
Local fix
If possible change the path for the externalmanager to something that does not have the "ges" string
