Netbackup 7.7.3 Bug, Unable to edit backup window

Hi team,

I believe you are aware of the bug in Ntebackup 7.7.3

https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000109333

I will install the EEB, However I am looking for command line work around. I tried bpplschedrep <policy-name> <sched-label> -0 <start time in seconds(11 PM)> <duration in seconds(7 hours)>

But i am getting overlap schedule error. Any suggestions

      Hello Sid1987,

       

      Please use the following command to set the backup window until get the EEB installed. 

      Do let me know in case of any issues.

       

      bpplschedrep Policy1 schedule1  -pool pool1 -rl 2 -mpxmax 32 -cal 1 -incl date -5 68400 43200

      -5 is a day

      68400 and 43200 are seconds , you may have to covert your hours to seconds to set the start and end timings.

        Even after implementing the EEB I am unable to change the schedule.

    Have you seen the 'Workaround' section of the TN?

    Workaround:
    If this issue is experienced with NetBackup 7.7.3, please download and apply the appropriate hotfix attached to this document.
    ......
    ......
    If you are not able to apply the hotfix or EEB, deleting and re-creating the Calendar schedule with the desired window should work.

      Marianne,

      I already tried the workaround it didn't work so thought of trying it from command line and eliminate the JAVA GUI completely.

        The TN mentions 2 possible workarounds. Which one did not work?
