Dear NetWorker Reporter Utility Lovers,
It has been a few weeks some of you are waiting for build 4.0.4
of my NetWorker Reporter Utility. Today is D-Day !
Build 4.0.4 introduced a lot of new features such
-Change management (mainly detecting client,group and pools cfg change),
-Configuration reporting,
-Per barcode Volume location change tracking and location change
history,
-User-customizable client's location and type (Prod, test, dev, training
or validation)
-User-customizable Backup quality control rules,
-Jukebox based pool usage evolution, pool provisioning and operator
suggested load
-Colored Gantt charts to visualize high-activity,
-Fast backup retriever
-Jukebox inventories and cross-checks with MediaDB's volume location
-Last operator's jukebox provisioning (tape in and out of a lib ...)
-Per Jukebox Tape move evolution
and far more I let you discover.
To have the stats up-to-date (mainly for jukebox provisioning and
tape move) the reporter has to run at least once a day.
Kit has been tested and works with any NetWorker 6.x or 7.x servers
but does NOT support NetWorker 5.x servers. The reason is that some
used fields like Sscreate, Sscomp ... does not exist in the mediaDB.
Let me also insist on the usage of the -D flag. This flag
is very important : it defines the way the reporter handles
date coming from mminfo's output.
A warning msg will always be displaied like the following one :
In this sample, date format passed to the reporter is " -D DD/MM/YYYY"

Thu Feb 19 17:34:01 2004 !!!! WARNING : As it's dependant of how the
date is set
on YOUR computer, if both doesn't match, PLEASE set -D
differently.
Thu Feb 19 17:34:01 2004 !!!! WARNING : Set incorrectly, it can cause

This sample is correct : 19, for the day of the month, 02, for the
month,
2004 for the year and match DD/MM/YYYY.
this one is wrong :
-------------------

the
reporting utility to wrongly handle date or even to crash.
(...)
This is INCORRECT : 19, for the year (transformed as 2019),
02, for the day of the month,
2004 for the month.
Please be sure the arg -D to match with the date. Use DD for
representing Days,
MM for months and YY or YYYY for the year.
And now, the most important thing ... the ftp location !
The kit is a 25MB kit, including HP Tru64, HP-UX, Sun Solaris,
Microsoft Windows, IBM AIX and Linux kit.
Up to now, the kit is available at
http://users.skynet.be/fa039191/V4.0.4_all_os.zip
and will be mirrored to open_backup.org.
Once extracted, run the binary corresponding to your OS.
Do not forget to "chmod +x " the Unix binaries !
It's best viewed using Microsoft Internet Explorer because some HTML
effects
may be only recognized by MS-IE.
Apache or any other http server may serve NetWorker Reporter pages just
by
allowing bin and data sub-directories. All links are relative ones so it
should not
cause any problems.
Last recommendation : Call the NetWorker reporter from the bin subdir
where you unzip the kit.
Have fun,
Thierry
