RELATED IDEAS

set disableDeduplication = bTrue for DSM_OBJ_DIRECTORY objects

Clarification of API document regarding client side deduplication, and that this has to be disabled for driectory type of objects

objAttrArea.disableDeduplication = bTrue;
objName.objType = DSM_OBJ_DIRECTORY;

Or better; update the API so that clientside deduplication is disabled for directory type of objects.

If clientside deduplication is enabled, and disableDeduplication is set to bFalse (default)
Than the API session will abend with rc-50, with these errors on the backup server:

ANR0444W Protocol error on session xxx for node xx (xxx) - out-of-sequence verb (type EndDataStream) received. (SESSION: xxx)

ANR0484W Session xxx for node xx (xxx) terminated - protocol violation detected. (SESSION: xxx)

    This request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.

    Thanks for the feedback Jim,
    I guess that quickest fix is to add it as a documentation fix.
    But I guess it also can be good to add a fix for it in the code, especially as it can't be difficulty to exclude meta data from being processed via the client deduplication process.
    Eg

    if(objName.objType == DSM_OBJ_DIRECTORY) {
    objAttrArea.disableDeduplication = bTrue;
    }
