IC65561: ORPHANED BITFILES AND ANR9999D DURING EXPIRATION ON 6.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Expiration will generate messages similar to the following which
  show orphaned bitfiles:
  .
  ANR0165I Inventory file expiration started processing for node
  BACKUP, filespace \\MACHINE\c$, copygroup REGULAR and object
  type FILE
  ANR9999D_1164624868 ImDeleteBitfile(imutil.c:8915) Thread<100>:
  Bitfile id 20213247 not found.
  ANR9999D Thread<100> issued message 9999 from:
  ANR9999D Thread<100>  0x0000000000bee072 OutDiagToCons+0x0x142
  .
  where thread 100 could be any thread and bitfile 20213247 could
  be any bitfile. It is likely this will be generated for multiple
  bitfiles. The fix will include a utility within expiration which
  automatically cleans up these orphaned bitfiles.
  .
  L2 Diagnostics:
  .
  The orphaned bitfiles can be verified and located by using DB2
  commands to search the af_segments, backup_objects and
  bf_aggregated_bitfiles tables. Once this has been done, the
  entries can be removed manually, however this process can be
  intensive if there are a large number of orphans. If there are a
  signifcant number of orphans, the utility built into expiration
  (in the future release) should be used.
