Ravi's solution will work, but it will affect the retention for all jobs.
However, you can try this-might want to do a bit more scripting to make it
nice and pretty, but this should get you on the right track.
/opt/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpdbjobs -report > some_file # output is
same as default settings for job monitor
for job_id in `cat some_file | grep class_name | egrep -vi "active | queued"
| awk '{print $1}`; do # provides Job_ID for selected class, will exclude
active
or queued jobs
bpdbjobs -delete ${job_id} # deletes job from job monitor
done
I don't know of any other way to get the Job_ID than by running the bpdbjobs
-report command, though it might be possible (Job_ID is not stored in image
file). It's also not necessary to dump the output from bpdbjobs -report to
a text file, but it's might be a good idea for record keeping-deleting a
failed job from the Job Monitor also removes all info about it from the
error database. Any backup failures that get deleted by a cron job would be
completely invisible to you.
Hope this helps,

Eric,
You can manipulate the keep_days in job.conf. Set it to 1,
thsi will keep job retentiondays to 1.
[/usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs] 9672 #cat job.conf
keep_days 2
verbose
-ravi
PS: I'm writing my own utility to actually inquire the job
database. I will make it public one it is available.
