Refreshing the display of virtual environment changes in the Query Builder
By default, NetBackup waits one hour before the policy Query Builder detects changes in the virtual environment. Until one hour has passed, the Query Builder does not detect the changes when you click the "Load values" folder icon next to the Value(s) field. To make the changes immediately available to the Value(s) field, use the following procedure to refresh the display.
Note:
The Query Builder's option does not affect the display of virtual environment changes in the Query Builder. The reuse option determines how long NetBackup reuses the current backup list for future executions of the policy.
To refresh the Query Builder's view of the virtual environment (Windows):
- On the Windows desktop of the local host, click Start > Run and enter regedit.
- To be on the safe side, make a backup of the current registry (File > Export).
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Veritas > NetBackup > CurrentVersion > Config and create a key that is called BACKUP.
- Under BACKUP, create a new DWORD that is called xmlCacheLimit.
- Set this DWORD to the number of seconds for the refresh.
A value of 15 allows the Query Builder to be refreshed after 15 seconds.
- If the policy editor is open in the NetBackup Administration Console, close it and reopen it.
To refresh the Query Builder's view of the virtual environment (Linux):
- On the Linux desktop of the local host, create (or open) the following file:
/usr/openv/netbackup/virtualization.conf - Enter a new dword line under [BACKUP] to set the number of seconds for the refresh. For example:
[BACKUP] "xmlCacheLimit"=dword:15
This example allows the Query Builder to be refreshed after 15 seconds.
Note:
If the file already contains a [BACKUP] line, do not add another [BACKUP] line. Any other lines that already exist under [BACKUP] should remain as they are.
- Save the file.
- If the policy editor is open in the NetBackup Administration Console, close it and reopen it.
