Error 'Please give valid dataPathOperationType' when updating subclient properties

[sergio-dr]

Hi, I get errors when trying to update subclient properties, e.g.

# after opening session with CommCell:
client = commcell.clients.get('client name')
agent = client.agents.get('oracle') 
instance = agent.instances.get('instance name')
subclient = instance.subclients.get('subclient name')
print(subclient)
subclient.exclude_from_sla()

Output:

Subclient class instance for Subclient: "subclient name" of Backupset: "default"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

      4 subclient = instance.subclients.get('subclient name')
      5 print(subclient)

Please tell me if you need more information. Thanks.

Hello, what is the version of Commserve you are connecting to?

[sergio-dr]

Hello, thanks for your assistance.
Commserve is 11SP17.16.

Hello Sergio,
This issue is not seen in V11 SP17, if possible can you try with latest hotfix packs of SP17? you can create a support ticket for this issue by contacting support@commvault.com, they can assist you on this further. Thanks.

Hello, we think this may be related that this specific subclient has 'overrideDataPath' set. If we try with another subclient without that option, no error is shown. Would that make sense for you?
Of course we can open a support ticket, but wouldn't that take longer? (we suppose they will get back to you). Thanks.

Recently upgraded to SP19.7, but we get the same error as reported on the first post.

Hi @sergio-dr,

We need to look into the setup to get more details on this issue. You can inform the support team that the development team had requested you to raise a support ticket. That should be quickly escalated.

Thanks

Ok, I'll follow your recommendation. Thanks!
