Duplicate-Job per Script

[Werner_Steinegg]

Hello,

i create a duplicate-job per script, because it is the only possibility to give the duplicate job an auto-cancellation-time.

The job works when I start it after the backupjob per post-script-command. But only the first time, the second time the backupjob runs normal, but the duplicatejob didn't start. I think because the job is allready build. Is there a switch for the script to write a deletion after successfully finish, as we can do in the GUI.

Hope somebody can help me.

best regards

Hello,

so we have a backup job to disk, and we want to set up a duplicate job to tape for this backup job. It's work ok but the customer has got a single drive so the porblem is that when he forgot to insert a tape, the duplicate job hang and waits for the tape, and when the customer put in the tape of the next day, the duplicate job of the day before start :(

I try to find out how i can set up an auto-canellation for duplicate jobs, but the only way i found out is to make a script-job. But the porblem with the script job is that, when i run it once, i couldn't run it again by the post-command of the backup job 'cause the job is allready there. So i have the idea to give this duplicate job the attribute to delete himself after finish. But this I can do only in the GUI. :(

I need only a solution for this problem, and i hopa somebody can help me.

th scirpt looks like this (I only post the things i configured):
/* DUPLICATE BACKUP JOB SCRIPT */
/* operations: 90 */



JOB_TYPE=SetCopy
JOB_PRIORITY=MEDIUM
JOB_NAME=Testduplicate
PREFERRED_SOURCE_DEVICE_GUID={874D669c-FCCB-42EA-82BA-8822D3404EEA}

SERVER=servername
USERNAME=username
PASSWORD=password



DEVICE_NAME=TAPE 1
MEDIA_SET_GUID={426C7921-58A1-4655-8F8D-A17417F6B240}
OVERWRITE_MEDIA=1
EJECT_MEDIA_AFTER_COMPLETES=1
COMPRESSION_TYPE=1


JOBHISTORY_GUID={A1375474-D176-44D9-81CB-7276694BA6DD}


/* The AUTO_CANCEL_TIME value is in number of minutes. To specify hours, make divisible by 60. */
AUTO_CANCEL_TIME=150

:( still waiting for an answer.

Hello,

If our understanding is correct you have mentioned that since the customer has got a single tape drive and when the job spans to a different tape you receive alerts to put the next tape in this case you can configure automatic response to alerts.

Please see the technote below:
http://support.veritas.com/docs/192055

In this case until you insert the next tape the job will be in running status

if our understanding is incorrect please elaborate


Thanks,

Hello,

no this is not right, the customer has got a single-drive, but i have no problem with the free space on tape. The problem is that the script-created-job, is not running after the first time. When i delete this job in the GUI, the copy-job start correct after the backup job. Is there no switch for the script to activate the auto-deletion after sucessfully finish, as i can do in the GUI, with per-GUI created jobs???

best regards

ps.:

1.) run backup-to-disk job (created in the GUI)
2.) run a after-backup-cmd in the b2d-job to start the script-copy-job (from b2d-media to lto-drive)
3.)all complete good

4.)running the same backup-to-disk-job (finsihed sucessfully)
5.)BE not run the script-copy-job!!!! :-(((
6.) I can not find an auto-deletion-command for the scriptMessage was edited by:

Hello,

you see the script above! I'll take the example-script from BE an make this changes posted above.

In the meantime, i think that the problem is that i must give the job a job-history-id from the original B2D-Job.....
Is it possible that every-time the job-runs it get a new job-ID.

So that is maybe the answer, but not a solution for that what i want to do.

A tape-copy-Job after a Backup-2-Disk-Job, which should only run when the B2D-Job is sucessfull, and the Tape-Copy-Job must have a automatic cancelation time.

To cancell the duplicate job if not completed within the desired time frame. You may schedule the job to run within a specified time interval in the schedule options or enable auto cancellation of the job.

Hello,

in the properties of the policies i have a schedule, but there is no auto cancelation.

in the properties of the "normal" duplicate-job are no schedule-options.

Hello,

For tests purposes create a new policy with the same configuration and verify the results.

Well,

waht should I said. I done this 3 or 4 times.....for testing and it works one time (the first) 'Cause of the correct Job-History-ID...the following Job the Original-Job has another Job-History-ID and so the Original - Script didn't trigger.....

The main problem is still that i can't create a duplication-job with an auto-cancellation from the GUI. and with the script (where i can set a auto-cancellation-time) I need a Job-History-ID which change with everytime i run the original B2D-Job :( bad luck.....veritas it's your turn to change this

Hello,

As suggested in our earlier reply, to cancel the duplicate job if not completed within the desired time frame. You may schedule the job to run within a specified time interval in the schedule options.

Have you tried scheduling the duplicate backup job?
