Oh dear. Could be a conspiracy. It seems very sad that you can't even get a complete ASCII report anymore. Gosh.

Not sure if it is related, but there is a bug fix in the 7.3.3 SP3 release notes which explictly disables the NO_SUPPRESS /nsr/debug flag. We were using that to capture details of NDMP backups. I wasnt aware it truncated the whole report to 270 chars - if thats the case it is going to kill our reporting setup.

<conspiracy> We think its so they get more people into using NMC or EBA for backup reporting, rather than custom scripts</conspiracy>

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this list, though hardly new to Networker. Been using it for 12 or so years now. Have many custom scripts, etc.

Just installed 7.4. May have been a mistake. It looked good on testing, but now we find the savegroup notifications are truncated at 270 characters. we recharge our backup service, and use these notifications to parse out client backup volumes etc. pump them into a mysql database. This is now totally broken with the truncated reports. Anyone else seen this? if so, anyone seen a workaround? May have to roll back to 7.3.2(3?)

Thanks,

Jon
