no Mail notification after policy status 1

[ruffy]

hi there

i use blat.exe to notification status of backup policy after backup per mail. but i will not to be notificated by backup policy status 1 (partially succussful).

Thats my actual backup_exit_notify.cmd:

the row in red i think is for no notification when the status of a backup policy is 0 (successful).

what must i change or insert for my plan?

[J_H_Is_gone]

change "someone_who_cares" to your "email_address"  then see if you are happy with what you get.

ruffy,

Are you asking for the syntax to send the email if %5 is less than or equal to 1?

I don't know the syntax.

yes, it works. but it works then only with policy status 1. i want to have this with both, 1 and 0.

[Stumpr2]

"%5"=="0"

again I do not know the correct syntax but did you try "%5" <= "1"

less than or equal to 1

[Randy_Samora]

Add another line beneath the first line identical to the first but change the "0" to "1" and you'll be good to go.  Your script will hit the first line and if it is status 0 it'll do what it's told to do.  If it's not a Status 0, it continues down the script to the next line which informs NetBackup what to do if it's a Status 1.

I blocked out Status 0's, 1's and 71's and this is what worked for me.

[Stumpr2]

thanks Randy!

[ruffy]

thanks randy, i will try it and post here the result.

[Stumpr2]

Randy,

In your response about simply adding another line for the different codes; will this result in an email sent for each line?

[ruffy]

@randy: i did it so. but i became mails with status partially successful anyway .
my actual sctipt:

@REM ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@REM - might want to mail this info to someone
@REM -
if not "%5"=="0" call %NB_MAIL_SCRIPT% someone_who_cares "NetBackup backup exit" %OUTF%
if not "%5"=="1" call %NB_MAIL_SCRIPT% someone_who_cares "NetBackup backup exit" %OUTF%
@REM ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
:EndMain

this can not be wrong, isnt it?

[ruffy]

or can i say:

if not "%5"=="0" or =="1" call %NB_MAIL_SCRIPT% someone_who_cares "NetBackup backup exit" %OUTF%

or something like that?

[ruffy]

nobody knows it?

[Stumpr2]

ruffy,

Again what you are asking is syntax question for arithmetic or logical equivalent to be used in a simple DOS file.

research how to use:

equal to

less than

less than or equal to

more than

more than or equal to

more than X but less than Y

etc.....

You may need to go to a different forum to get the proper syntax.

In a DOS cmd box, use:

help if

[Stumpr2]

like this?

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\Stumpr>help if

Performs conditional processing in batch programs.

IF [NOT] ERRORLEVEL number command
IF [NOT] string1==string2 command
IF [NOT] EXIST filename command

  NOT               Specifies that Windows XP should carry out
                    the command only if the condition is false.

  ERRORLEVEL number Specifies a true condition if the last program run
                    returned an exit code equal to or greater than the number
                    specified.

  string1==string2  Specifies a true condition if the specified text strings
                    match.

  EXIST filename    Specifies a true condition if the specified filename
                    exists.

  command           Specifies the command to carry out if the condition is
                    met.  Command can be followed by ELSE command which
                    will execute the command after the ELSE keyword if the
                    specified condition is FALSE

The ELSE clause must occur on the same line as the command after the IF.  For
example:

    IF EXIST filename. (
        del filename.
    ) ELSE (
        echo filename. missing.
    )

The following would NOT work because the del command needs to be terminated
by a newline:

    IF EXIST filename. del filename. ELSE echo filename. missing

Nor would the following work, since the ELSE command must be on the same line
as the end of the IF command:

    IF EXIST filename. del filename.
    ELSE echo filename. missing

The following would work if you want it all on one line:

    IF EXIST filename. (del filename.) ELSE echo filename. missing

If Command Extensions are enabled IF changes as follows:

    IF [/I] string1 compare-op string2 command
    IF CMDEXTVERSION number command
    IF DEFINED variable command

where compare-op may be one of:

    EQU - equal
    NEQ - not equal
    LSS - less than
    LEQ - less than or equal
    GTR - greater than
    GEQ - greater than or equal

and the /I switch, if specified, says to do case insensitive string
compares.  The /I switch can also be used on the string1==string2 form
of IF.  These comparisons are generic, in that if both string1 and
string2 are both comprised of all numeric digits, then the strings are
converted to numbers and a numeric comparison is performed.

The CMDEXTVERSION conditional works just like ERRORLEVEL, except it is
comparing against an internal version number associated with the Command
Extensions.  The first version is 1.  It will be incremented by one when
significant enhancements are added to the Command Extensions.
CMDEXTVERSION conditional is never true when Command Extensions are
disabled.

The DEFINED conditional works just like EXISTS except it takes an
environment variable name and returns true if the environment variable
is defined.

%ERRORLEVEL% will expand into a string representation of
the current value of ERRORLEVEL, provided that there is not already
an environment variable with the name ERRORLEVEL, in which case you
will get its value instead.  After running a program, the following
illustrates ERRORLEVEL use:

    goto answer%ERRORLEVEL%
    :answer0
    echo Program had return code 0
    :answer1
    echo Program had return code 1

You can also using the numerical comparisons above:

    IF %ERRORLEVEL% LEQ 1 goto okay

%CMDCMDLINE% will expand into the original command line passed to
CMD.EXE prior to any processing by CMD.EXE, provided that there is not
already an environment variable with the name CMDCMDLINE, in which case
you will get its value instead.

%CMDEXTVERSION% will expand into a string representation of the
current value of CMDEXTVERSION, provided that there is not already
an environment variable with the name CMDEXTVERSION, in which case you
will get its value instead.

then this may work

if not "%5"LEQ"1" call %NB_MAIL_SCRIPT% someone_who_cares "NetBackup backup exit" %OUTF%

I'm sure there must be some windows weenie that is laughing at me

[ruffy]

thanks a lot. i will try it.

[ruffy]

sorry, but it didnt work! i became mail notification with the status 1 again today!
any other ideas?
