If you're running 4.5 you can control the columns in bpdbjobs (not
-all_columns) by using BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS entries in bp.conf. Format:

BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = <thing> <width> <autosize>
where width is width of field if autosize is 'false'.
These are the defaults:
BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = JOBID 5 true
BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = TYPE 4 true
BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = STATE 5 true
BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = STATUS 6 true
BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = POLICY 6 true
BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = SCHEDULE 8 true
BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = CLIENT 6 true
BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = DSTMEDIA_SERVER 12 true
BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = ACTPID 10 true
And these are the possible values for 'thing'. I don't know what they
all are. Maybe this will provide a better tool than trying to parse
-all_columns manually.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Format file for command line reports Windows NBU
4.5FP6


Hello all,

for the command

bpdbjobs -report
       [-M <master_server>] [-format_file <pathname>] [-file <pathname>]
       [-header] [-append] [-verbose]

how can I create the format_file? I am running Netbackup 4.5 FP6 on Windows
2000. I cannot find the stuff xbpmon and xbpmonrc  it seems to be only for
UNIX.
I need to do a report about backups as shown in activity monitor. Therefore
I need more info as shown by standart.
For example I need the columns: 
JobID, Type, Status; Policy, kb/sec, schedule, client and so on. You can see
I need as much info as I can get.

Best Regards

Martin
