Data Protector Notifications

For more information on the Data Protector checking and maintenance mechanism, refer to “Data Protector Checking and Maintenance Mechanism” on page 605.

Health Check Failed As a part of the Data Protector checking and maintenance mechanism, Data Protector will by default once per day start the Health Check, which starts the omnihealthcheck command and triggers the notification if the omnihealthcheck command fails. For more information on the omnihealthcheck command, refer to the omnihealthcheck man page. The omnihealthcheck command checks:

•whether the Data Protector services (rds, crs, mmd, omnitrig, and OmniInet) are active

•whether the Media Management database is consistent

•whether at least one backup of the IDB exists

The exit code of the command is 0 (OK) only if all three checks completed successfully (exit code for every check was 0). Exit values other than 0 indicate that one of the checks failed. For more information on exit codes, refer to the omnihealthcheck man page.

User Check Failed By default, once per day Data Protector will start the User Check, which executes the script/command specified as the <script/command pathname> input parameter. Create the command/script in the /opt/omni/lbin (HP-UXand Solaris) or <Data_Protector_home>\bin (Windows) directory of the application system. Enter the filename here. The notification is triggered if the script/command exits with the return value other than 0.

For more information on the User Check Failed notification, refer to “The User Check Failed Notification” on page 606.

End of Session The End of Session notification is triggered when a Data Protector session for the backup specification(s) specified by the <Datalist> input parameter ends with the status specified by the <Session Status> input parameter. The default value is Completed with Errors.
