I think it's true!
I tested the new client on a W2k machine and I got the same RC you described
below.
If one file fails (e.g. it's in use by another proccess), the schedule
returns with a result code of 4.
I hope Tivoli works on a fix for that.
We have some automatically checking for result code <> 0 (if there was
a problem while backing up; and I think "file in use..." isn't a big problem)

Joachim Stumpf

i HAVE GOT THIS EMAIL FROM ONE OF MY FRIENDS. GUYS WHAT DO YOU THINK IS IT<br>
TRUE ?<br>
<br>
Hi Guys<br>
<br>
According to Tivoli Support they have made an alteration to way client<br>
v4.2.1 reports Result code 4 to the server. Earlier version clients would<br>
allow for a certain number of files to fail during the backup and still<br>
report to the server that the Schedule was successful. However version 4.2.1<br>
has been altered so that a result code of failed will be reported to the<br>
server even if 1 file fails during a backup.<br>
ntcmachine had been failing on some WINNT system files which I have added<br>
exceptions for under direction of Tivoli support and now backups of this<br>
machine seem to be successful.<br>
Bob from Tivoli suggested that if we are worried about seeing failed result<br>
codes on the daily report that there may be a way to generate a report<br>
listing statistics of how many files or how much data had been backed up<br>
from each machine to provide a more accurate picture as to whether the<br>
backups were successful.<br>
