Name

backupdbtrace — trace debug logs of backupdb (image catalog backup) jobs

SYNOPSIS

backupdbtrace [-server name] [-job_id number] [-start_time hh:mm:ss] [-end_time hh:mm:ss] mmddyy [mmddyy ...]

 

On UNIX systems, the directory path to this command is /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/

On Windows systems, the directory path to this command is <install_path>\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\

DESCRIPTION

The backupdbtrace utility consolidates the debug log messages for the specified backup database jobs and writes them to standard output. It then sorts them by time. backupdbtrace tries to compensate for time zone changes and the clock drift between remote servers and clients.

At a minimum, you must enable debug logging for the administrator on the master server and for bptm and bpbkar on the media server. For best results, set the verbose logging level to 5. Then enable the debug logging for the following in addition to the processes already identified:

  • bpdbm on the master server

  • bpcd on all servers

backupdbtrace uses the -job_id option as the sole criterion for selecting the backupdb job to trace. If -job_id is not used, then backupdbtrace selects all the backupdb jobs that started on the days that the day stamps (mmddyy) specified. Use the -start_time and -end_time options to examine the debug logs on the specified time interval.

The backupdbtrace utility writes error messages to standard error.

OPTIONS

-server

Name of the media server where the backupdb command is initiated. The default is the local host name.

-job_id

Job ID number of the backupdb job to analyze. Default is any job ID.

-start_time

Earliest timestamp to start analyzing the logs. Default is 00:00:00.

-end_time

Latest timestamp to finish analyzing the logs. Default is 23:59:59.

mmddyy

One or more day stamps. This option identifies the log file names (log.mmddyy for UNIX, mmddyy.log for Windows) to analyze.

OUTPUT FORMAT

The following is the format of an output line:

<daystamp>.<millisecs>.<program>.<sequence> <computer> <log_line>

daystamp

The day that the log is generated in yyyymmdd format.

millisecs

The number of milliseconds since midnight on the local computer.

program

The name of the program (for example, BPBKAR) being logged.

sequence

Line number within the debug log file.

computer

The name of the NetBackup server or client.

log_line

The line that appears in the debug log file.

EXAMPLES

Example 1 - Analyze the log of a backupdb job with job ID 5 that is run on May 6, 2013.

# backupdbtrace -job_id 5 050613

Example 2 - Analyze the log of all the backupdb jobs that were run on August 5, 2012 and August 17, 2013.

# backupdbtrace 080512 081713
