Understanding Core jobs

Core jobs are processes that the Rapid Recovery Core performs to support its operations, including backing up to recovery points, replicating data, archiving data, exporting data to VMs, maintaining repositories, and so on. Core jobs are initiated automatically for some operations, such as replicating or archiving on an established schedule. You can also invoke some jobs on demand from various elements on the Core Console.

  • When viewing or editing Core job settings, each Core job has two parameters: Maximum concurrent jobs and Try count.
    • The Maximum concurrent jobs parameter determines how many jobs of that type can be run at the same time.
    • The Try count parameter determines how many times the job should be tried before abandoning the job, if network or other communication errors prevent the job from succeeding the first time.
  • In the Core Jobs table, the Settings column indicates if the job listed is included in Core job settings by default or must be explicitly added.

The following table describes the primary Core jobs available and their functions.

Check attachability of SQL databases in snapshots

Lets the Core check the consistency of SQL databases and ensures that all supporting MDF (data) and LDF (log) files are available in the backup snapshot. Process:

  • Mount the latest recovery point for protection groups containing SQL databases.
  • Mount the database. If performing attachability from the protected SQL server, mount using UNC path.
  • Connect to the database from SQL Server.
  • Perform the attachability check.
  • Perform cleanup operations.
  • Close the database.
  • Dismount the database.
  • Dismount the recovery point.

Some Core jobs are included in Settings. The Jobs settings let you specify how many concurrent jobs of the same type the Core can run, and how many retries should be attempted if the first job attempt fails.

For more information about these Settings, see Core job settings.

For information on adding jobs to Core Settings, see Adding Core jobs to settings.

For information on editing settings for jobs in the Settings list, see Editing Core job settings.

Core job settings

When you select [Settings]
    (Settings) from the icon bar, you can access settings for some Core jobs. The Jobs area on the Core settings page lets you determine two settings for each job type listed:

  1. The maximum number of jobs of this type for the Core to attempt at one time. This must be set to a value between 1 to 50.
  2. The number of times a job should be attempted if a network or other communication error prevents the job from succeeding the first time. This must be set to a value between 0 to 10.

Several jobs are automatically included in Core settings. These jobs include a value of "Default" in the Settings column (as shown in the topic Understanding Core jobs).

You can add some other jobs to settings if you want to configure those settings to control the maximum number of jobs or retries for those functions. These jobs include a value of "Add" in the Settings column. For information on how to add these jobs to the Settings table, see Adding Core jobs to settings.

Core jobs not available in Settings do not provide the ability to set these two parameters.

For jobs that are listed in settings, you can edit existing settings. This lets you customize the two parameters, delete a job type from the job settings list, or restore default settings. For detailed information, see the topic Editing Core job settings.

Adding Core jobs to settings

Core job settings let you define, for each job type, the maximum number of jobs for the Core to attempt at one time, and how many times that job should be retried if the first attempt failed.

Each Core job type has default values for these two parameters, as described in the topic Core job settings. This list also indicates which of the job types are included in the Core settings by default.

Adding a Core job to settings lets you change these parameters for the job type you added.

Complete the steps in the following procedure to add a job to Core settings.

  1. Navigate to the Rapid Recovery Core Console.
  2. On the icon bar, click [Settings]
    (Settings), and then do one of the following:
    • From the list of Core settings on the left side of the Settings page, click Jobs.
    • Scroll down on the right side of the Settings page until you can see the Jobs heading.

      The Jobs settings for the Core appear.

  3. On the Core Settings page, under Jobs, click [Add]
    Add.

    The Job Settings dialog box appears.

  4. In the Job Settings dialog box, from the Jobs field, select the name of a job you want to add to the Core settings.

    These jobs are described in the topic Core job settings.

  5. To set the maximum number of jobs for the Core to attempt at one time, in the Maximum concurrent jobs text box, enter a new value between 1 to 50.
  6. To set the number of attempts the Core should make before abandoning the job, in the Try count text box, enter a new value between 0 and 10.
  7. Click Save.

    The Job Settings dialog box closes, and your new job settings are applied.

Editing Core job settings

Core job settings let you define, for each job type, the maximum number of jobs for the Core to attempt at one time, and how many times that job should be retried if the first attempt failed.

Each Core job type has default values for these two parameters, as described in the topic Understanding Core jobs. This list also indicates which of the job types are included in the Core settings by default. When you edit Core job settings, you can accomplish the following:

  • You can customize the settings for each Core job type.
  • You can delete a job type from the list of Core settings. This feature is not available if the job type is included in settings by default.

    NOTE: Deleting a job from Core settings simply removes the job type from this list. To edit Core settings for that job type again in the future, you can add it to the list as described in the topic Adding Core jobs to settings.

  • You can restore the settings for any job type to the default settings.

    NOTE: Although you can only use this feature for the job types included in Core settings by default, you can set other job types to defaults by removing them from the list and adding them again.

Complete the steps in the following procedure to edit the settings of a job.

  1. Navigate to the Rapid Recovery Core Console.
  2. On the icon bar, click [Settings]
    (Settings), and then do one of the following:
    • From the list of Core settings on the left side of the Settings page, click Jobs.
    • Scroll down on the right side of the Settings page until you can see the Jobs heading.

    The Jobs settings for the Core appear.

  3. From the Job grid, select a job you want to remove from the list. From the drop-down [Settings]
    menu for that job, select Delete.
    The job is removed from the list.
  4. From the Job grid, select a job from the list for which you want to reset settings. From the drop-down [Settings] menu for that job, select Reset to defaults.
    The job settings for this job are reset to default settings.
  5. From the Job grid, select a job you want to change. From the drop-down [Settings] menu for that job, select Edit.
    The Job Settings: [JobName] dialog box opens.
  6. To change the maximum number of jobs for the Core to attempt at one time, in the Maximum concurrent jobs text box, enter a new value between 1 to 50.
  7. To change the setting for the number of additional attempts the Core should make before abandoning the job, in the Try count text box, enter a new value between 0 and 10.
  8. Click Save.

    The Job Settings dialog box closes, and your new job settings are applied.
