IT30125: MQSIEXTRACTCOMPONENTS FAILS WHEN IT ENCOUNTERS AND UNEXPECTED FILE BELONGING TO AN APP/LIBRARY WHICH IT DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When processing a backup file it is possible for
  mqsiextractcomponents to encounter some files which were taken
  as part of the backup, but which are not part of an active
  application or library.
  
  These files could appear if there had been a previous problem
  during the delete of an application/library and so debris
  remains on the filesystem.
  
  When mqsiextractcomponents encounters these files it throws an
  exception, stopping the command running. This means that the
  backup can't be extracted without the customer manually
  removing the file from the backup.
  
  mqsiextractcomponents should output a warning reporting the
  unknown file, but keep processing. This gives the user the
  option to ignore the error if they are aware of what the file
  is and why it's present.

• mqsiextractcomponents has been modified to report a warning for
  an unknown file inside a backup instead of throwing an
  exception.
