IT33600: REPORT 'VM BACKUP HISTORY' CONTAINS VMS WITH "STATUS=FAILED" WHEN THE REPORT OPTION IS SET AS "STATUS=SUCCESS"

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When selecting the option of "Status=Success" for the report
  'VM BACKUP HISTORY', it can fail to filter out the virtual
  machines with the backup status of "Failed".
  Corresponding joblog shows that the virtual machines with
  "Failed" backup status shown in the report 'VM BACKUP HISTORY'
  with option "Status=Success" are indeed failing to get
  protected. So this is purely an issue with the report.
  Initial impact: Medium
  Versions Affected: 10.1.x
