Error description

• Point-in-time restore of file system backup via the Tivoli
  Storage FlashCopy Manager on Windows MMC GUI fails with:
  
   "RC: 1207 FMF0104E Invalid option".
  
  
  The FlashCopy Manager on Windows MMC GUI does not convert the
  PITDate value to the format specified in configuration file on.
  
  For example, the date format defined in configuration file is
  yyyy-mm-dd, but the PITDate value is set as mm/dd/yyyy format
  as shown in an FCM trace:
  
  Fm Information: 0 : 2015/4/30 19:13:14:264   [18] :
  (0)
  Calling API Initialize.

Local fix

• 1. Set DATEformat to mm/dd/yyyy and run PIT restore via
  FlashCopy MMC GUI
  2. Use the CLI interface to perform the restore. On the restore
  command, ensure that the PITDate value specified is in the same
  format as defined in the configuration file.
