Netbackup Policy Reporter

I was reviewing the file Policy List Parser.txt, but is not legible, can u check please.

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for your interest. The attached file is a utility coded in VB.

1: Right Click on the download link and select "Save As" to save it to your desktop.

2: You need to rename the downloaded file from "Policy List Parser.txt" to "Policy List Parser.exe" and then run this utility.

3: Once the tool is running a the attached screen comes up.

4: Collect the o/p of bppllist -allpolicies -U from your master server and copy it to your system.

5: Provide the o/p file to the policy list parser utility.

6: Provide a suitable name for the report( Eg. Policy_List_18_Sep.xls). Its generated in the directory where the utility is present

PS: The PC on which this tool runs need to have EXCEL installed.

Thanks!

Hi Giorgio,

The file that you've generated using bppllist -allpolicies -U is incorrect.

Can you please share the output of the above command. It should work fine. Also the above tool is tested with NBU 6.5 & NBU 7. If you need older version for NBU6, I can share it. :)

Thanks!

Hi Giorgio,

The input file is correct. I've run the same tool on my system and it runs fine without any errors.

It would also won't run if there is no Excel installed on your system.

I've attached the generated output.

Thanks!

Could be a language problem of office?I think that the porblem could be the nazionalization.

Hi Giorgio ,

My apologlies, Couldn't post the source here as recently upgraded my system and don't have VB installed to view the source.. Also I'm open source supporter.

Currently I haven't programmed the tool for automated run neither it has CLI, but soon can add that feature too. You can expect to have these by mid Nov as I'm going on vacations

Thanks again for testing out the tool and pleasure it made your task easier.

Will be posting another report writer tool soon.Sample report attached.( Rename it to .html as forum don't support html file)

Thanks!
