IC96814: THE DESCRIPTION FOR THE DATABASE REPORTING MODE SETTING IS MISSING FROM THE ONLINE AND HELP DOCUMENTATION.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V7.1 Fix Pack 1 (7.1.1.000) Server Downloads

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When running 'query status' on a 6.x Tivoli Storage Manager
  Server, the setting
  for "Database Reporting Mode"  is displayed.
  
  "help query status" from the admin client doesn't provide a
  description of the setting or it's possible options.
  Online Infocenter documentation also doesn't supply a
  description or available options.
  
  They should state:
  
  Database Reporting Mode
  Specifies the level of database diagnostic reporting to be
  presented on the service console and
  activity log. The following values are possible:
  
  NONE
      Specifies that no database diagnostic reporting is
  performed. This setting should not normally
  be used.
  PARTIAL
      Specifies that the only events that are reported are those
  that are exceptions and that might
  represent errors. This is the default.
  FULL
      Specifies that all database diagnostic information is
  reported. This includes information that
  is normal and expected.
  
  Note: The default value should be kept unless IBM support is
  engaged
  to diagnose an issue.
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
  Tivoli Storage Manager Server version 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 on all
  supported platforms
  
  Initial Impact:
  Medium
