Please forgive if I've misunderstood your implied query, but, to a certain 
extent, I thought you already could query the jobsdb? The form, as I recollect, 
is:nsradmin –d /nsr/res/nsrjobsdb/<subsection> where <subsection> is one of 
general savejobs, ssninfo, indicationOr is this not what you were asking for? 
Or possibly just not enough -- as it does have certain limitations.Brian> Date:

as I can tell 7.4 is a branch off one of the 7.3.2 Jumbo Builds but I am not 
sure which  - it adds internationalisation to the NMC gui and to the logs, and 
there is a new clinet upgrade mechanism.> > From the perspective of NMC it has 
several improvements:> * The JRE required is 1.5 instead of 1.4> * usability 
tweaks - tape operations displayed on the library window etc...> > The Client 
upgrade functionality seems like it will be useful, but you have to have at 
least 7.4 clients beofre this can be used, so it will be a while before the 
benefits can be seen.> > The internationalisation seems to have been 
implemented reasonably well - it provides french, german, and chinese language 
packs so far.> > However!!!!   The /nsr/logs/daemon.log is gone!    The code 
for alerting has been completely overhauled in all binaries and modules and the 
default is now to write to /nsr/logs/daemon.raw. It is intended that to read 
the raw log you pipe it through the new nsr_render_logs filter that localises 
the error messages. The result is that all custom scripts that watch networker 
log files will be broken.> > > I think from my perspective - I will upgrade my 
NMC server first - I'm hoping they have fixed some bugs in it... It's not too 
hard to back out of if it does screw up, and our windows client people will be 
pleased they can finally dump the 1.4 JRE from their builds....> > But there's 
no way I'm going near it on an actual backup server - not until version 7.4.7 
(as Davina has said, that will really fly).> > The current latest sorta-stable 
version is 7.3.2 Build 499 - EMC are about to release 7.3.3 which will have 
more fixes in it that 7.4...    So I'm waiting to test 7.3.3> > > >
