Error description

• 8.1.8.000 server can crash or report ANR2013E if a 8.1.7
  Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments datamover node sends a
  ANE4133I client event.
  
  
  If a 8.1.7 data mover node sends client event ANE4133I to
  8.1.8.000 server,
  there are 2 symptoms that can occur
  
  1. Server can crash after reporting in activity log:
  
  xx/xx/xxxx xx:xx:xx              (Session: 123456,
  Node: DATA_MOVER_NODE_NAME) Total number of virtual
  machines with no changed data : 0
  (SESSION: 123456)
  
  Notice that between "date/time" and "(Session:"  the ANE4133I
  is not being reported.
  
  Stack from a core may look like the following:  (example if from
  getcoreinfo.txt on Linux)
  
  #0 0x0000000010f6760c in FormatTableTitle
  (fmtAnchor=0x3ff3d8f1e4f0, buffer=0x3ff3d8f1d590
  "\002\005\020\065\002\001") at dsadmfmt.c:1380
  #1 0x00000000100e8204 in AdmActivityLogThread
  (notused=<optimized out>) at admactlg.c:3609
  #2 0x000000001106cb70 in StartThread (startInfoP=<optimized
  out>) at pkthread.c:4046

  /lib64/libpthread.so.0
  #4 0x00003fffabc985f4 in clone () from /lib64/libc.so.6
  
  2. This error message may be seen:
  ANR2013E The activity log process has encountered unexpected
  output data in the console output stream.  The process will be
  restarted.
  
  
  
  It only occurs when processing client event ANE4133I, which is
  issued by IBM Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments starting
  at level 8.1.7.
  
  
  Initial Impact: High
  
  IBM Spectrum Protect versions affected:
  Server 8.1.8.000 on all supported platforms
