recover: files not in index

[HBOS]

I have a question regarding the following situation:

on one particular aix system (system A) we make daily backups of Oracle datafiles using the following save command:

save -c<client> -g<savegroup> -q -LL -I<inputfile>

I want to automatically recover those files on another aix system (system B). Note that the directories containing the files saved on system A are not present on system B. However, the files are relocated to other directories on system B.
We use automatic recover using the -a option, in conjuction with the -d<source> option and specifying a different target destination.

The problem is that when we try to recover the files, Networker shows the following message:

recover: /directoryname/* not in index
recover: Nothing to recover

If I use the recover command in interactive mode and browse to that directory, the directories and containing files can be found and recovered without problems.

I figured out that this is caused by the directories on the target system not being present, even though another target destionation is used.

Does anyone know a way around this? I've tried several things but can't find a solution.

Thanks in advance!

(Our networker version is 7.3.2)

why dont you create the missing paths in a script before you run your automated recover.
You can make a "mv" after this if you want the data at an other location.

-d specifies the destination, not the source.

To be really helpful, we should know the complete command. Obviously something is wrong with the file name specifications.
