NBBSAGetJobInfo

Obtain job information.

SYNOPSIS

#include <nbbsa.h>

int NBBSAGetJobInfo(BSA_Handle bsaHandle, int jobid, BSA_UInt32 length, char **jobInfo)

DESCRIPTION

NBBSAGetJobInfo() returns information about a job. The information obtained is equivalent to the information that is displayed by the following command:

bpdbjobs -jobid id -all_columns

See the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide for details. NBBSAGetJobInfo() can be called at any time during any transaction to obtain the job information for the job ID specified. The job information is returned in an array of pointers to character strings (for fields that have no information, the pointer will be NULL). The NBBSAGetJobInfo() function allocates storage for each character string. After the application has completed its use of the job information, NBBSAFreeJobInfo() should be called to free the allocated storage.

The following #define constants are defined the include file nbbsa.h and should be used to obtain a specific piece of information for the specified job ID:
