ANS1519E error when attempting to delete backup data

Troubleshooting


Problem

Delete Backup failed with following error: ANS1519E Your node does not have permission to delete backup files

Cause

In the client node definition, the 'Backdelete=No' option doesn’t allow the Tivoli Storage Manager client node to delete backup files from Tivoli Storage Manager server

Resolving The Problem

When attempting to run the command:
dsmc delete backup {filename}
this is failing with an ANS1519E error.

The DELETE BACKUP command requires the Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator to provide the authority for deletion of the backups for a specific node. The default is for the node to not have the capability to delete their backup objects.

To resolve this error, update the client node parameter Backdelete to YES. For example, use the following command:
Update node <node_name> backdelete= Yes
