[Veritas-bu] bpduplicate in bpend

the backup_exit.notify script is passed 5 parameters

client, class, sched, sched_type, status and stream.

If a duplication job is to begin right after a particular class is done,
then you would want to check to see if this is the class you want to
duplicate.  Then make sure all clients in the class have completed using
bpdbjobs -report | grep'ing for ACTIVE QUEUED or RE-QUEUED job states and
comparing the classes of these jobs to the one you are hoping to begin
duplication on.

This script (backup_exit.notify) will be run after each client's backup job
completes.  When the last one is done, your script (backup_exit.notify)
could then call the duplication script (outside of the exit script for
timing purposes [&]) and pass it the class and perhaps the sched_type to the
begin duplication.

Hope this helps.

Could you possibly send our an example of how to do this for us novices.  I
am very interested in doing this.

Thanks,
Rick

Put some logic in backup_exit_notify on the master to look for the class and
kick it off.  That is the better way to do it since the bpduplicate command
should be launched on the master.  Also put the full path to bpduplicate
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd

Hi,

I am trying to help a client and they are asking for bpduplicate jobs to
start after a certain class ends.

(NT master server , NBU 3.4 datacenter)

My immediate thought was:
bpend_notify.$CLASS.bat

I created the file:
basically multiple versions of:
bpduplicate -dstunit $STU -class "$class" -dp "$pool" -L  \
"$logfilepath\name" -v


I can run it from the command line and duplication takes place, so I know
that part is ok.

I create the bpend_notify.class.bat file and make it do a:
type $file > $otherfile
and that part is ok.

But when I run the bpduplicate from the bpend_notify batch file, nothing
happens.  No log file, no tapes mounting

I can't see what part ISN'T ok

(BTW,  I have verified that the syntax is identical between what works on
the cmd line and in the file)



Does any one have any suggestions?

(I am a Unix guy, not NT, if that matters)
