Snapshot backup attempted & error shows job failed,when only database snapshot failed,everything else backed up successfully.

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Currently, a snapshot backup is attempted and it generates an error that the job has failed when really it hasn't, only the database snapshot has failed, all the other databases get backed up successfully. This results in additional overhead for a company that use TDP since many times monitoring is tied to these backup jobs. Thus, people have to reconcile an error that's not really an error at all.

Instead, it's felt that an informational message would serve TDP and its customer better, thereby eliminating some of this confusion. However, a better option would not to even attempt a snapshot database backup. Both the above would prove beneficial to all companies that use TDP.

    Thank you for submitting this request - sorry about the delay in responding. We feel that this change fits withing our strategic direction, but we do not have this in plan for our current release. This will be included in our list of priorities for upcoming releases and we will update the RFE once we have determined whether we can fit it into a future release.
