Export csv data by schedule

[itea]

Hello!

Can I to export some reports from Symantec NetBackup 8 Administration Console to a CSV format by schedule?

I need a "Client Backups" report every day for store some data from it but I don't know how to export a data automatically.

Please, share a commanline sequence for execute of a command for export.

Cannot be automated from a NetBackup v8 Admin Console.

On a master server... use scheduled task on Windows, or cron on Unix/Linux, or an enterprise scheduling product, or tie a pre (bpstart_notify) or post (bpend_notify) script to a backup job on your master server.

The command you want is:  bpdbjobs

Check the manual for usage, here:

Serarch Vox for examples, here's one:

Hello

Please look at the OpsCenter - this tool is having such report you are willing to make manually...

Quite right @quebek - good call, there a lots of pretty good generic reports to choose from in OpsCenter, most of which should be able to email you a CSV file, on a repeating schedule...

...and if you reach the point where you need to do something custom and more site specific in OpsCenter, then this super post from @VoropaevPavel may help you too:

Thank you!

I tried a bpdbjobs and found it very useful :)

But I need a help again.... I found a limitation of printing output of bpdbjobs command. I can to fetch the history only in just 4 days. And no more. Maybe it's a limitation by OS or by design of the application? I need 'magick switches' (commandline), please. The implementation of my system is therefore currently at risk :(

Activity Monitor and bpdbjobs output comes from Jobs Database. 
The default for this db is 3 days. It can be extended, but will slow down your Activity Monitor.

Your opening post says you need "need a "Client Backups" report every day", meaning that runningbpdbjobs every day will be good, right?

If you need the equivalent of Client Backups report, you can run :
bpimagelist -U [-A|-client name] [-d <start_date> <start_time> -e <end_date> <end_time>]

I agree with @quebek - OpsCenter is best to automate reports and email the output.
