parent_start_notify script

NetBackup calls the parent_start_notify.cmd script (on Windows) or the parent_start_notify script (on UNIX) each time a parent job starts.

To use this script, copy the script to the bin directory:

UNIX:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/parent_start_notify to /usr/openv/netbackup/bin
Windows:
install_path\netbackup\bin\goodies\parent_start_notify.cmd to install_path\netbackup\bin

Modify the script and confirm that you have permission to run the script.

NetBackup passes the following parameters to the script:

clientname	Specifies the name of the client from the NetBackup catalog.
policyname	Specifies the policy name from the NetBackup catalog.
schedname	Specifies the schedule name from the NetBackup catalog.
schedtype	Specifies one of the following: FULL, INCR (differential incremental), CINC (cumulative incremental), UBAK, UARC
status	Specifies the exit code for the entire backup job.
streamnumber	Specifies the stream number; for a parent job it's always -1.
