Hello Eric

I think that the filter feature is a side effect of how they implemented their X
based GUI and is not an intentional feature (despite how terribly useful it is).
I am not aware of a command line equivalent.   However, you may be able to
script something that simply goes through the text files in
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs and nukes the ones that match a given criteria, you
might stomp on some file locking though but seeing how you'll be interested in
backups that have already been completed, I'll bet that it'll be ok to do so.

Thanks,

I guess I should clarify.  I would like to do this from a cron job.  By the
time I get in to clean it each day I have 4000+ entries in the activity
monitor.

Eric

Hello

On the Unix GUI, you can filter by class, apply, select all, and delete.

Hi,

We are using SQL backtrack for our Oracle backups.  Unfortunately it tends
to generate a lot of small jobs, and we have hundreds of databases.  This
make the activity monitor very slow, and difficult to use.

Is it possible to selectively delete log files (say by class).  I would like
to clean-up all the jobs for the sql-backtrack class once a day, while
leaving the other logs alone.

Thanks

Eric
