APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Tivoli Storage Manager servers and client have a default setting
  which allows TSM clients who are not TSM-authorized to use
  certain options which can result in the roll-off of file backup
  versions and their replacement with files having same name made
  by TSM-authorized users.
  The client setting is controlled by use of the BACKUPINITIATION
  keyword of the REGISTER and UPDATE NODE commands.
