About managing external procedures

Use the bmrepadm command to do the following:

  • Add an external procedure so it is available during a restore.

  • Delete an external procedure from the database.

  • Extract an existing procedure from the database.

  • List all the external procedures in the database.

For example, to add a prerestore external procedure for a client named sol123, use this command on the NetBackup master server with configured BMR database:

bmrepadm -add sol123_prerestore

The bmrepadm command does not validate client names (that is, you can add an external procedure for a nonexistent client).

For another example, to add an external procedure auxiliary file named ListStorageGroups.vbs, use the following command:

bmrepadm -add -data ListStorageGroups.vbs

For more information about the bmrepadm command, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
