FAIL Record

The FAIL record indicates that the job was not able to back up a domain or file.

FAIL {DOMAIN | FILE | INODE} message

The keyword that follows the FAIL record indicates the level at which the processing failure occurred. FAIL FILE and FAIL INODE records appear in a keyword data report only if the REPORT record in the backup job template or exception file specified file-level report detail. If the REPORT record specified domain-level detail, only FAIL DOMAIN records will appear, even if the processing failure occurred at the file, track, or block level.

For example, if you asked CA VM:Backup to back up three files from a single minidisk but CA VM:Backup could not link to the minidisk, the keyword data report will contain a FAIL DOMAIN record for that minidisk.

A domain or file may have more than one FAIL record. An ENDFAIL record indicates the end of FAIL records for a domain or file.
