There may be times when it is desirable to keep jobs in the jobs database longer than three days. The default can be changed on a more permanent basis, or temporarily, lasting only until the next reboot or cycling of NetBackup services. Changing the Default on a Permanent Basis Since the bpdbjobs database resets to default conditions upon reboot or cycling NetBackup Services, you may want a more permanent means of indicating how long to keep jobs in the Activity Monitor. Use the following method to add new registry key(s) to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\NetBackup\
CurrentVersion\Config
To do so safely, from a command window, run: install_path
echo KEEP_JOBS_HOURS = 192 | bpsetconfig
Where 192 is the number of hours that all jobs (both successful and unsuccessful) will be kept in the jobs database (or Activity Monitor display). To retain only successful jobs, enter: echo KEEP_JOBS_SUCCESSFUL_HOURS = 192 | bpsetconfig
Remember...if the jobs have already been removed, this will not bring back the information. But this will work from this day forward and eventually you will have your 30 days.Message was edited by:
