Need to build a report to show NetBackup Policy (group) report for client(s)
Need a comprehensive report that shows, NetBackup policy names (group), retentions, schedules, file lists (job),
Also, I' found a report that shows the NetBackup storage lifecycle policies, but it only seems to display all the SLP's for a master and not the SLP's used for a specific client. Any suggestions would be great.
No Events found!

Hi,
I believe the problem here is that the Backup Schedule Config data source doesn't have the client field in the database table, and therefore you cannot query against the specific client. To work around this DPA returns data for all clients as it just omits the client name condition from the query on the database.
Unfortunately I don't think you are going to be able to run this against a specific client and only return the rows for that client, without removing the Backup Schedule Config data source. However that means you won't be able to report on the retention period.
Thanks
David

Hi,
In order to get Group, Retention, Schedule and Job you would need to use the Backup Server Mapping data source and merge it with the Backup Schedule Config data source.
DPA only currently gathers the storage lifecycle policies configured on the master server and not per client.
Kind Regards

Ok, Tried it, not exactly what I was looking for. We have 11 NB masters and I think it reported all the policies (77 pages) even though I only selected one client and a window of now. I also tried matching the key values before the merge. Still open to ideas...

Do lots of these rows have blank client names? If so try adding a condition on the Merge operator of "Client is present" and see if that helps.
Kind Regards

Still getting 70+ pages if I select a client, changed the merge to a join and I get more fields expected. If I select client, it seems I get all clients on all 11 menia servers, if I select a master if seems to limit to clients on that master. I need the user selection for the client to work. any suggestions?
