Managing your policies is important, but also being able to quickly communicate the policy schedules to customers is just as important. At our site, we use OpsCenter to send reports to the customers, but I wanted a way to show the customers what their backup windows were. The NetBackup Admin Console allows you to view them, but you can't export it. OpsCenter also lets you view them, but you can't email or export them. Luckily, NetBackup has a few command-line tools that allow you to view policy schedules: bppllist and bpplsched. I mostly use bppllist, but you can examine the output and see what works best for you.
#!/bin/ksh BASENAME=$(basename $0); DIRNAME=$(dirname $0); CMD_ECHO="/usr/bin/echo"; CMD_EGREP="/usr/bin/egrep"; CMD_BPPLSCHED="/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpplsched"; CMD_BPPLLIST="/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bppllist"; CMD_BPGETCONFIG="/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpgetconfig"; POLICYLIST=""; GO="NO"; usage() { printf "\n ${BASENAME} [policy1] [policy2] ...\n"; printf "\n If policy names are not provided, ${BASENAME} provides schedules on ALL policies.\n\n"; } if [ "$LOGNAME" != "root" ]; then printf "ERROR: You must be root to run this script\n"; exit 1; fi while getopts "h(help)" OPTION do case ${OPTION} in h) usage; exit ;; \?) usage; exit BADOPTION ;; esac done shift $OPTIND-1 if [ $# -ne 0 ]; then POLICYLIST=$* else POLICYLIST=`$CMD_BPPLLIST` fi for i in $POLICYLIST; do GO=`$CMD_BPPLLIST $i -U | awk '/^ Active:/{print $2}'`; if [ "$GO" = "yes" ]; then $CMD_ECHO "" # $CMD_ECHO ">>>$i<<<" # $CMD_BPPLSCHED $i -U | $CMD_EGREP -v "MPX|PFI|Copies|Fail on Error|same as|not required|Residence is Storage" $CMD_BPPLLIST $i -U | $CMD_EGREP -v "MPX|PFI|Copies|Fail on Error|same as|not required|Residence is Storage|Mult.

I've set the commands as variables so if you have an alternate path for your installation, you can easily change it. As you can see, I first check to see if Root is the user running the script, then I'll grab every policy in the bppllist command. For each policy that's active, I generate its output (the "-U" option gives a more readable output). If I want, I can specify a list of policies at the command-line.
In the sample output below, I've selected those fields that I think would be important to the customer that's asking. Names have been changed to protect the innocent.
