NetVault 13.0.1 - CLI Reference Guide

Introduction Getting started Using the command-line utilities Using the nvreport utility

Creating external report files

The report files generated using the nvreport utility can be saved to the output subdirectory in the reports directory (<NetVault home>\reports\output on Windows and <NetVault home>/reports/output on Linux) and used as required. For example, they can be opened for viewing in a browser or sent as email attachments. The procedure for creating an external report file includes the steps outlined in the following sections:

•
Selecting the template file
•
Specifying the outputdir
•
Specifying the appendoutput option
•
Using the title option
Selecting the template file

There are two types of report template files.

•
HTML template files: These templates are used to by the NetVault WebUI. You can use them with the ‑outputdir option to create HTML-based external files. For more information about these templates, see HTML template files.
•
Plain text template files: These templates are used by the CLI utilities to display output in the terminal window. You can use them with the ‑outputdir option to create plain text external files. The plain-text template files contain the text “clidefault” in their filename or “cli default file” or “textual” in their “Nice Name.” For more information about these templates, see Plain text template files.

Use the following options to create the report file:

•
-templatename: Specifies the “nice name” of the template file
•
-templatefile: Specifies the name of the template file. You must specify the full file path with this option. The report templates are located in the <NetVault home>\reports\ templates directory.
 
* 
NOTE: While it is possible to use the “-class” option to generate a report file for viewing outside the terminal session window, we recommend that you avoid using it. The “-class” option is designed to be used with a default template file and create a report for viewing in the terminal session window. You may not obtain the desired result in an external report with the “-class” option.
Specifying the outputdir

The output directory is created in <NetVault home>\reports\output on Windows and <NetVault home>/reports/output on Linux.

The syntax for this option is:

-outputdir <name for subdirectory>

Example:

nvreport -templatename “Executed Job History” -outputdir “Test01”

Note the following:

•
If an existing subdirectory is specified with the “-outputdir” option, it is overwritten.
The following command creates a subdirectory named “report” and saves the report file “output.html” in this directory:
nvreport -templatename “Client Groups” -outputdir report
When you generate another report, it overwrites the existing “report” subdirectory and the “output.html” file with the new file:
nvreport -templatename “Defined Jobs” -outputdir report
If you do not want to overwrite an existing report file, specify a new directory or use the ‑appendoutput option.
•
The HTML report templates contain various artwork files in their layout. When you use an HTML template, the artwork files are automatically copied to the new subdirectory.
Specifying the appendoutput option

If an existing subdirectory is specified with the -outputdir option, it is overwritten when a new report is generated. To retain the contents of an existing report file, use the -appendoutput option. It allows you to append the new report data to the existing report file.

Example:

nvreport -templatename "Restore Summary" -outputdir "Test01" -appendoutput

Note the following:

•
The -appendoutput option must be used with the -outputdir option.
•
This option allows you to combine two different types of templates.
•
This option allows you to combine the HTML and plain text output types.
Using the title option

The -title option can be used with the -outputdir option to assign a user-defined to the saved report file. This syntax for using this option is:

-title <NewReport Title>

If a title is to contain any spaces, the entire value must be enclosed in quotation marks.

Example:

nvreport -templatename "Historic Jobs - By Date" -outputdir "Test01"
-title “Job History - By Date”

Note the following:

•
This option can be used with the -outputdir option to add a title to any format of template (HTML or plain text.
•
When used with the -appendoutput option, the -title option is used as the title of the report that is appended to the existing “output.html” file. The existing report maintains its existing title.

HTML template files

The following table provides the “nice name” and filename of the HTML template files.
