Activity monitor improvements in the NetBackup web UI

The following improvements were made to the Activity monitor in this release.

  • Ability to maximize the view of the Activity monitor so you can use the entire browser window and view more jobs.

  • Ability to view the job details in a new window. This action lets you more easily compare the details of different jobs.

  • In the details for a job, the Attempts field displays the latest attempt first. Previously the job details displayed attempt 1 as the first. For example, consider that a job is attempted three times: Attempt 1 (6:00 A.M.), attempt 2 (8:00 A.M.), attempt 3 (10:00 A.M.). Attempt 3 (10:00 A.M.) is the latest attempt and is displayed first in the job details.
