IC88101: FASTBACK CLEANUP SOMETIMES FAILS WITH FBSS7550E AND FBSS7551E ERRORS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In a case where the FastBack server restarts before a
  successfully taken snapshot record is passed from the
  inprogress.txt file to the history.txt file, Fastback Server
  will try to move the record of the successful snapshot, but it
  will wrongly remove the job from table index. As a result,
  subsequent FastBack cleanup fails on this volume chain with
  FBSS7550E and FBSS7551E errors. FastBack Server technician log
  
  
  FastBack Server technician log shows:
