About data collection from EMM

The SLP1 performs the following operations:

data that is shown in the SLP reports is collected from the EMM worklist and the NetBackup catalog. The worklist is located in the EMM and contains metadata like how many copies need to be created, where they need to be created, when they are completed etc. In general, the copy data that is shown in the SLP reports (like Copies Completed, Completed Copy Size columns etc.) is based on the EMM worklist. EMM creates the worklist after a backup is complete based on lifecycle configuration parameters.

Consider a case when you configure an SLP named SLP1:

After the backup is complete, a worklist that contains an entry for each copy is created in the EMM database. In this example, the EMM worklist has three copy entries (corresponding to the number of copies that are defined in the SLP). The EMM worklist is updated as and when a duplication job is processed (for example, State for the copy changes from Not Started to In Process to Complete).
