Problem
Utility Jobs like Eject media, Erase Media, Label Media appear under Jobs in the "Job Setup" tab, when run through a BEMCMD command.
Solution
When utility jobs like Eject Media, Erase Media, Label
Media are run through the following BEMCMD
commands, then these jobs appear under Jobs in the Job
Setup tab of Backup Exec (tm). However, when the same jobs are executed
through the Backup Exec GUI (from the Devices tab) then they do not
appear in the Job Setup but will appear only in the Job Monitor
tab. This is normal behavior with Backup
Exec.
The BEMCMD commands used for these utility jobs are as follows:
1. For Erase Media job:
C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Backup Exec\NT\ bemcmd -o111 -d "ARCHIVE 1" -e:1 -pr:Medium -w
-o111 = Switch for erasing the Tape media
-d "ARCHIVE 1" = Drive Name
-e: = Specifies the Type of Erase
1-Quick Erase
3-Long Erase
-pr: = Priority of the Job
-w = Instructs the Command Line Applet to wait
for the operation to complete before returning
The BEMCMD command returns a value of '1' for successful job and value of ' -1' for a failed job.
2. For Label Media job:
C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Backup Exec\NT\ bemcmd -o113 -d "ARCHIVE 1" -m "Fullbkp" -pr:Medium -w
-o113 = Switch for Labeling the Tape media
-m = Specifies the Media name.
3. For Eject Media job:
C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Backup Exec\NT\ bemcmd -o115 -d "ARCHIVE 1" -pr:Medium -w
-o115 = Switch for Ejecting the Tape media
