NetVault 13.0.2 - Administration Guide


	NOTE: Adding a non- policy job configured on a client which is associated to a selected policy adds the same job ID in the policy. However, adding a non-policy job configured on a client which is not associated to a selected policy adds a new job with same job name, job definition, and different job ID in the policy.

The following example describes adding a non-policy job (BackupJob) with Job ID (69) configured on a client (Client-D) which is not associated to a selected policy (Policy1) and includes two backup jobs on three clients (Client-A, Client-B, and Client-C):

In the list of available job definitions, select the non-policy job ‘BackupJob’ and click Add to Policy.

In the Select Policies dialog box, select the policy name ‘Policy1’.

Click OK.

New backup jobs with the name ‘BackupJob’ and Job ID as 70, 71, and 72 for each client in the selected policy ‘Policy1’ will be added as shown below:


Job Name	Job ID	Client Name	Policy Name
BackupJob	69	Client-D
BackupJob	70	Client-A	Policy1
BackupJob	71	Client-B	Policy1
BackupJob	72	Client-C	Policy1

Viewing job history

You can view the completed jobs from the Job History page. The page shows all the instances that have run for the jobs. When viewing job history, you can use one or more filters to display jobs that match the specified criteria.

To view job history:

In the Navigation pane, click Job History.

On the Job History page, you can view the job history records that are available in the NetVault Database.


	NOTE: You can also access this page from the Job Status page. You can select a job on the Job Status page, and click View history to view all past instances for that job.

The table displays the following default information:

•

Job Title: Name or title of the job.

•

End Time: Job completion time.

•

You can add or remove the following columns in the list using the column menu:

•

Policy Name: Displays the name of the backup policy.

The row background color in the table is displayed for a job based on run status. For more information, see Job activity table.

By default, the table is sorted by End Time (descending order).

You can sort the table by one or more columns, as required. For more information, see Sorting records in NetVault WebUI.

To set the filter options (For more information on table filter options for Job History page, see Table 12), view the page size setting, column sort order, applied filters in the table, export the records, or edit table settings, click the icons at the lower- right corner of the table.

For more information, see Customizing tables in NetVault WebUI.

You can use the Search option to filter the table data and quickly find entries that contain the specified string in any column values. You can also include wildcards (“?” or “*”) in the search filter string.

The Job History page loads a maximum of 10,000 records initially. The total number of records fetched is displayed at the lower-right corner of the table.

You can click Load more to load the next set of records, if available. Each load action fetches a maximum of 10,000 records. This button is disabled if there are no more records to load.

To perform a job-related task, click the corresponding button in the Operations pane. Alternatively, click a link in the Navigation pane to open a different page. If the job is associated with a policy, clickManage Job to open the Manage Jobs page and make changes to the policy.
