Configuring pre- and post script options for backup jobs

You can use the pre- and post-script options to run user-defined scripts before a job starts or after a job completes. You can use these scripts to perform tasks such as dismounting or shutting down a database before the job starts or mounting or starting the database after the job completes.

Before configuring pre- or post-scripts, review the following information:

•
The script should be an executable file, for example, “.bat” files on Windows and “.sh” files on Linux.
•
The script file should reside on the target client. It should be available in the scripts directory under the NetVault installation directory.
•
The pre- and post-scripts can contain run-time parameters. These parameters are stored in the environment variable NV_USER_ARG. You can also use other NetVault environment variables in the scripts. For a list of available environment variables, see Environment variables in NetVault.
•
NetVault provides two predefined script files that can be used as post-scripts:
•
psmail: Use this script to send the job completion status to the specified email addresses.
•
psmail_logs: Use this script to send the job completion status and job logs to the specified email addresses.
On Linux and UNIX, the predefined scripts do not have any filename extension. On Windows, the scripts have the filename extension “.bat.”
To run these scripts, specify the following in the Post Script box:
•
Linux and UNIX: psmail or psmail_logs
•
Windows: psmail.bat or psmail_logs.bat
To specify pre- and post scripts:
1
On the Advanced Options page of the target client, click Pre & Post Scripts, and configure the following settings.
 
Table 52. Pre- and post-script options for backup jobs

Description

Pre Script

This option allows you to run a user-defined script before a job starts. You can use this script to perform any pre -backup preparation, such as dismounting or shutting down a database.

To run a pre -script, do the following:

•
In the Pre Script box, specify the script filename.
•
In the User Parameter box, provide the values for the run-time parameters. The value should be valid and conform to its usage in the script. NetVault does not perform any validity checks for the user parameters.

Post Script

This option allows you to run a user-defined script after a job completes. You can use this script to perform any post -backup processing, like mounting or starting a database after a job completes.

To run a post -script, do the following:

•
In the Post Script box, specify the script filename.
•
In the User Parameter box, provide the values for the run-time parameters. The value should be valid and conform to its usage in the script. NetVault does not perform any validity checks for the user parameters.

Click Set to save the settings and close the dialog box.
The following table illustrates the effect of script exit status on the overall execution and job status.

Configuring user-defined events for backup jobs

When creating a backup job, NetVault lets you configure user-defined events that can be raised when the job completes successfully, completes with warnings, or fails. You can use these options when you want to be notified about the completion status of individual jobs.

 
* 
NOTE: NetVault includes several predefined events, which are raised for significant occurrences within the system. For more information, see About NetVault events and Events types.

You can also raise user-defined events for individual backup jobs, restore jobs, report jobs, policies, and log messages. You can use various notification methods to receive notifications when the predefined or user‑defined events occur in NetVault.

You can configure the user-defined events in the Backup Advanced Options Set. Once you create a user‑defined event, you can raise it for any job or backup policy. NetVault adds the user-defined events to the event class Jobs — User defined. You can then set up one or more notification methods for the event to receive notifications when the event is raised.

To raise user-defined events for a backup job:
1
On the Advanced Options page, click Events, and configure the following settings.
Table 54. User defined event types for backup jobs
