QUESTION POSED ON: 14 January 2002
What needs to be done to eliminate the following error message that
appears
during the nightly backup job on a 9406-270 running V4R5 with an
integrated
Win2000 server?
The backup throws a level 40 msg from procedure QSRSAVSE
Message . . . . : Object not found.
Cause . . . . . : Object *N or a directory in the object path could
not be found or its type cannot be resolved by this function. Recovery .
.
. :
Correct the name or specify an object of the correct type. To
determine if the object exists, use the WRKLNK command.
Next message is: Cannot save directory /QNTC/S105XXXX
---------------------------------------
I've checked WRKLNK and there is a directory under QNTC that's named the
same as the system serial number. The only thing in this directory is
$REGISTRY.
To my knowledge, this Win2000 server is only being used for print serving.
~~
I had a similar problem using BRMS to backup IFS directories on our iSeries 400.
I solved the problem by excluding directory /QNTC from my backup. Since this
directory just contains links to other NT systems, I didn't feel I was
compromising my system backup process by doing this either. In the event of
a full system recovery, I could easily recreate these links.
The GO BACKUP menu gives you options for selecting libraries and folders,
but not IFS directories. Therefore, you won't be able to exclude this
directory from your backup. Isn't that the pits!?
