I use a pretty simple method. I always put something in the groups name
that indicates to me how it should run. I also have networker
notifications that send me emails on all skipped, completed, or error
savegroups. I review this information every morning. Admittedly my
environment is smaller, but the same concept can apply. If you have 200
groups that should run in a given night, you should have 200 completed
group emails in the morning. It's crude but an effective cursory check.
If you have 199 emails, you know something didn't run. If you have 202,
you know something ran that should not have or something ran more than
once.

Subject: [Networker] Backup - Log / Checklist
Greetings all:
We are going thru an internal audit right now, and a question was asked
of us, that I am confident I will hear more on. (and not in a good
way).
We have hundreds of Clients and approx 200 groups.
I have Operations staff that monitor the backups, however they don't
have a checklist that says X Group should kick off at X time, etc. etc.
Some of our backups are kicked off by Legato, others are kicked off by
Tivoli Workload Scheduler.
Can anyone share with me their method to verify that the backups that
should ran, has actually ran etc. I gave the analogy, that if we were
working on a group and decided to not have it auto start, and forgot to
put it back to auto start, there would be no way for the staff to know.
Would love to hear how others are dealing with this.
Failures are not an issue, the team is all over that, it's just a matter
of ensuring that all of the backups have been run. I know you are going
to say, put a check list together, etc. etc. Again, it's HUNDREDS of
clients...If that's the only way, then I guess that's what we'll have to
do.
