Delete parent job

[iluv2su]

We have just upgraded to NBU 7.6.1.1 and noticed the hierarchy display in the activity monitor, very cool. We like to keep a few days worth of the jobs completed in the display. We have noticed that if there is an error on one of the children and after a successful rerun, we like to clean up our activity monitor, but when we delete a paren job, it also deletes all of the children, successful or not. Is there a way to configure this so we can keep successful jobs in the activity monitor, but delete the errored parent?

Try to use bpdbjobs -delete <jobID> command if it only clears the parent job ID

That command produces the same behavior, deletes not only the parent job, but ALL jobs in the hierarchy.

This is a new behaviour. Looks like the child jobs are forced tied with parent job. You need to talk to Symantec support about this. But it looks like by design
