Veritas NetBackup™ DataStore SDK Programmer's Guide for XBSA 1.1.0

Query - finding an object descriptor

The XBSA application can query the NetBackup XBSA interface for XBSA objects that have been created. The BSAQueryObject() call is used to query the NetBackup catalog for these objects. The query is based on a subset of the object descriptor attributes, contained in a query descriptor. If the result of the query is multiple object descriptors, BSAQueryObject() returns the first (most recent) object and the rest can be retrieved one object descriptor at a time by using a succession of BSAGetNextQueryObject() calls.
