Wildcards for Backup Exec Command Line Applet

[Xiazer]

Hello!

I am trying to write a script to take all jobs that are on hold, off of hold. I got it working for an individual job, but can't find any information on a wildcard for usage.

I am using this

bemcmd -o201 -v -c"BEServer" -j"JOBName"

That works,  (the names are obviously fillers) but I want to do something like

bemcmd -o201 -v -c"BEServer" -j*

But I get an error each time I use it.

Are there any workarounds, or a wildcard I don't know about? Thanks in advance.

-Josh.

Hi Josh,

Have you taken a look at the bemcmd.exe command line interface guide?

Thanks!

Yes, I did read that, I couldn't find anything pertaining to a wild card. Especially with wildcards.

it's been a few releases since I played much with BEMCMD, but don't remember wildcards being supported

I think you will have to query for all jobs on hold, parse out the job names and submit one cmd line per job to do what you want

1) Use the -o22 switch to generate the list of names on hold to a file

2) Use the -o201 -f<filename> to release the jobs.
