The output of this command consists of a single line per backup job. Each line of the output is a comma-delimited list in the following format:

jobid,jobtype,state,status,policy,schedule,client,server
,started,elapsed,ended,stunit,try,operation,kbytes,files
,pathlastwritten,percent,jobpid,owner,subtype,classtype,
schedule_type,priority,group,masterserver,retentionunits

Appends the output to the file that the -file option specifies. If no -file option is provided, the output goes to stdout.

Causes bpdbjobs to cancel active jobs cleanly that appear with a Status 150 in the Activity Monitor. For example:

bpdbjobs -cancel 11328
bpdbjobs -cancel 11328,11329,11330

Possible jobtype values are listed in the Description section.

Causes bpdbjobs to cleanly cancel all incomplete jobs that appear with a Status 150 in the Activity Monitor. For example:

bpdbjobs -cancel_all

Changes the priority of the specified job or jobs.

Causes bpdbjobs to delete the completed jobs that are older than a specified time period. Use with the -keep_hours or -keep_days, or -keep_successful_hours or -keep_successful_days parameters to specify a retention period. For example:

bpdbjobs -clean -keep_hours 30

Deletes the completed jobs that appear in the Activity Monitor. Multiple job IDs can be deleted in one command. For example:

bpdbjobs -delete 11328,11329,11330

Possible jobtype values are listed in the Description section.

Retrieves the job metadata from bpjobd, but the try file and files file is read directly from the file system. This option is ignored if bpdbjobs is started from a remote host (a host that is not the master).

Names a file to which the output of bpdbjobs is written. If no -file option is provided, the output goes to stdout.

Displays less of the information in a report than -most_columns.

Ignores the parent jobs for the -report and -summary options.

Reports on multiple job IDs.

Possible jobtype values are listed in the Description section.

Used with the -clean option to specify how many days bpdbjobs keeps completed jobs. Default is three (3) days.

Used with the -clean option to specify how many hours bpdbjobs keeps completed jobs. Default is 72 hours.

Used with the -clean option to specify how many days bpdbjobs keeps successful completed jobs. Default is three (3) days.

This value must be less than the -keep_days value.

Used with the -clean option to specify how many hours bpdbjobs keeps successful completed jobs. Default is 72 hours.

This value must be less than the -keep_hours value.

Reports in long format.

Displays the additional columns specific to Vault jobs.

Applies to an environment with multiple master servers. Use the -M option to summarize jobs, delete jobid(s), cancel jobid(s), and cancel all active job IDs for a specific master server:

By default, bpdbjobs translates the start or the end times to be relative to the local clock. A job that starts 10 minutes ago looks like it starts 10 minutes ago regardless of time zone and clock differences with the master server. This option, however, circumvents that translation so that time values are consistent between admin clients.

Behaves similarly to -all_columns but does not print the file list or any information on previous attempts. The -most_columns option is significantly faster than -all_columns.

Prevents the header from being printed in the report.

Cancels the reporting of the number of jobs resumed/suspended/deleted/canceled.

Indicates the reason why you are performing this command action. The reason text string that you enter is captured and appears in the audit report. The string must be enclosed by double quotes ("...") and cannot exceed 512 characters. It cannot begin with a dash character (-) nor contain a single quotation mark (').

Provides a report of data that is stored in the Activity Monitor. If no option is specified with bpdbjobs, -report is the default option.

Cleanly restarts a job that jobtype indicates. This option supports backups and enables you to restart a job by typing the word BACkup in the Activity Monitor.

Resumes the jobs that job1,job2,...jobn specify, all eligible checkpoint backups or restore the jobs that jobtype indicates, or all eligible jobs if type=all is specified.

Possible jobtype values are listed in the Description section.

Sets the priority of the specified job or jobs to the specified priority number.

Prints a summary line to stdout for all the jobs that are stored in NBU/jobs. Parameters -U and -L format the output of the command. Use the -file option to write the output to a given directory or file name. For example:

bpdbjobs -summary -U -file /tmp/summary.out

Suspends the jobs that job1,job2,...jobn specifies or all eligible checkpoint backups or restore the jobs that jobtype indicates, or all eligible jobs if type=all is specified.

Possible jobtype values are listed in the Description section.

Reports in user format. NetBackup report-generating tools such as the NetBackup-Java Reports application uses this report format.

Displays the additional columns specific to Vault jobs.

Causes bpdbjobs to log additional information in the debug log in the following directory, if the directory exists:

On UNIX and Linux systems:

/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bpdbjobs/*

On Windows systems: install_path\NetBackup\logs\bpdbjobs\*

Prints the version string, then halts. Any other switches are ignored.
