Hi Aaron.

To remove the active job form the job monitor, you will want to do the
following:

1) Shutdown Netbackup
2) Move the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs/bpjobd.act.db file to
bpjobd.act.db.<date> (directory listing shown below).  DO NOT move the
bpjobd.db file.
3) Restart Netbackup. The  bpjobd.act.db will rebuild itself.

The above steps were for Unix, but the equivalent can be performed in
Windows.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Can't kill an "Active" job...



I have several jobs that are stuck in "active" mode but not doing
anything. 

JobID   Type  State Status          Policy        Schedule
Client          Dest Media Svr Active PID

 9716 Backup Active                inbound           ftpif
foo.com
foo.com         5376 
 9018 Backup Active                inbound           ftpif
foo.com
foo.com         19580 
 9845 Backup Queued              DBArchive   Oracle-Policy
bar.com 
 9844 Backup Queued              DBArchive   Oracle-Policy      bar.com 

I tried to kill the job with: 

bpdbjobs -cancel 9716 

to no avail. The FAQ-O-Matic says I need to restart NBU and manually
delete
the db files? Is this accurate or is there an easier way to clean these
buggers up?

Thanks.
