  5. Job Enterprise Object Scope Selector Components

Job Enterprise Object Scope Selector Components

The following scope selector components are specific to the Job enterprise object. Note that some of these components are specific to a backup vendor/product.

Backup Policy Name Filter

Specify only the backup policy to be used in the report's scope.

Backup Window

Select a custom backup window to be applied to the report. Typically, backups begin at the end of the business day, but they do not finish before the end of the day-thereby skewing the success statistics for the day. To more accurately reflect backup SLA metrics, you can re-define a day with a custom backup window. These custom backup windows are defined by the Portal administrator.

By Primary Server Only

This selection filters data for the NetBackup Primary Server only.

Consecutive Error

Enable specification of the number of consecutive errors logged for the object, within the report's timeframe.

Custom Filter

Define free-form fields that enable data filtering at run time. When the report is run, the Scope Selector displays the fields that can be selected to specify values to filter the report results. When the Custom Filter is selected, the report template is restricted to one product only.

Data Point Image

Enable the display of a circle of each data point in a line chart. This allows for quick identification of roll-over information in the chart.

Drives Scope

Specify physical drives to be included in the report scope.

Event Type

Enables selection of the type of backup or restore, such as Restores or Incremental Backups.

Group By

Enables selection of a time span to be used to group the data by: Hours, Days, Weeks, Months, Quarters, or Years. When using Group By, in general, an aggregation function, such as sum, min, or max, should be included in the report template definition.

Group Chart By

Enables selection of Chart Per Object (each chart is for a single object, with one or more metric lines) or Chart Per Metric (each chart is for one metric, with one or more objects represented as lines). This is a required scope selector component if the report template includes a field of type, Group by Object.

Hosts

Specify hosts to be included in the report scope.

Job Status

Enable selection of backup/restore job status to be included in a report. For example, Warning or Failed jobs.

Job Type Detail

Enable selection of specific sub-categories of a backup vendor's jobs; for example, duplication, catalog, or vault.

Libraries Scope

Specify backup libraries to be included in the report scope.

Line Selector

If multiple lines are defined in a line chart template, this component enables the user to select the line to be shown in the chart.

List of Client IDs

List of Client IDs for drilldown.

Maximum legends for Pie

Specify the maximum number of sectors for pie chart rendering.

Min Max Percentage

Specify the minimum and maximum % for HP Data Protector sessions.

NetBackup Policy Types

List of NetBackup Policy Types.

Parent Job Only

Enable reporting on the status of the backup parent job only. For NetBackup, the Portal groups the jobs with the same parent-child relationship that NetBackup uses.

Session Status

For HP Data Protector, enable selection of a session status: Unknown, Completed, Completed/Failures, Failed, Completed/Errors, Aborted.

Time Period

Provides a drop-down list to specify a time span, such as last 90 days or previous month.

Timezone

Enable selection of a specific time zone to normalize the report by any time zone equivalent in the world. The default setting for this parameter is the time zone setting of the location of the Data Collector. The Data Collector must be installed on a server that is in the same time zone as the subsystem from which data is collected.

Top/Bottom

Narrow the scope to the greatest/least values based on a given metric.

TSM Scope

Include TSM backup/restore data in the report scope.
