Issue/Introduction
UNABLE TO RESTORE FILE SPACE THAT CONTAINS UNDERSCORES
We’re not able to restore an SFS FileSpace that contains one or more underscore ("_") characters. The data is backed up okay though.
We have several SFS file spaces that contain one or more underscore ("_") characters and we can’t restore them using Administrative Functions, Option 7 (Submit special SFS/BFS restores), Option 1 (Restore a file space), or, using the XRESTORE command.
Trying to restore a File Space that contains the underscore character using the Restore Panels, results in the following error: Only one file space name can be specified
Trying to restore the same file space using the VM:Backup XRESTORE Command also results in error: VMBSYS0015E _ MKD _ cannot be used with the XRESTORE command
The SFS FileSpace cannot be restored using either of these methods.
Environment
VM:Backup SFS File Space backups
Resolution
As a circumvention, you can create a TPI job to restore the File Space, or, you can use the Restore CMS/SFS files options on the User Functions Panel to restore the top level directory and each subdirectory, one at a time, to restore the entire File Space.
A permanent solution is to apply VM:Backup published solution PTF RO99849.
