Backup Exec JOB ON HOLD

[JIMMYWANG]

Hi,

 I know there are many reasons to find error logs, but there is no error when job on hold. Is there any way that I can be alerted for JOB ONHOLD?

Thanks,

I dont think there is any alert for the jobs on hold because the job itself is not initiated.

However you can have other alerts like 'job started', 'job success' ,etc to track the status of the jobs from alert categories option.

Is there any way that custom alert can be created to send alert about "JOB ON HOLD"?

I know there are 'job success or job failed" exited.

I wonder if I can get alert when someone change the job status such as ON HOLD or DELETED or CANCELED.

Thanks,

There are no such alerts for "job on hold" or "deleted". But you can configure the alerts for "job cancelled"

However you can create custom reports to get a detail of job status.

OK. Can I create audit who change job? Does that information only can be viewed in Backup Exec Report?

I am looking for a solution that someone changes backup job "ON HOLD" and never put it back which caused backup job has never been executed.  I know that is a human error. At the same time, there is no alert at all.

Thanks,

Jimmy

You can run the following BEMCLI cmdlet to get all your jobs which are on hold

Get-BEJob -Status Onhold

If you don't know how to run BEMCLI, see my articles
