Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume II

child_end_deployment_notify

The child_end_deployment_notify script (on UNIX) and the child_end_deployment_notify.cmd script (on Windows) runs on the NetBackup master server. NetBackup calls the script each time a deployment child job completes. The script runs after all other deployment steps have completed.

To use this script, copy the following file from the master server:

On UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/child_end_deployment_notify

On Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\goodies\child_end_deployment_notify.cmd

Then place the script in the following location on the master server:

On UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/

On Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\

To run properly, the script must be executable. To make the script executable on a UNIX master server, run chmod ugo+rx child_end_deployment_notify

NetBackup passes the following parameters to the script based on the platform:
