Pretty straightforward I am attempting to run a Powershell script from workflows using the ExecuteScript activity The issue is that it simply halts when it gets to the script.No error, nothing in the logs it just halts.any ideas? Batch files work just fine, and the executable path for Powershell is set

Hi Team,I need an API which can give real time information about the VMs which are added in VMgroup/sub client for all vmgroups and VMware centers configured in CommCell console.Let me know if this is possible.Regards,Mohit

Hi guys,there is no workflow for “deleting sub-client authorization”I have already configuredDelete Client AuthorizationDelete Backup Set AuthorizationDelete Storage Policy Authorization but I wanted to protect the sub-client . Thanks Andrea 

Hello Team I was trying to get the running jobs for a specific VM. I have below code but it is returning zero results.  function Get-CVVMJobStatus { param ( $VMName ) $vmGuid = ($Global:CVVMData.vmStatusInfoList | Where-Object name -eq $VMName).strGUID $headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]" $headers.Add("Accept", "application/json") $headers.Add("Authtoken", $Global:cvToken) $URI = "http://xxxx/webconsole/api/v2/vsa/vm/$vmGuid/Jobs?completedJobLookupTime=3600&jobTypeList=backup&showAgedJobs=true&backupLevel=Full,Incremental" $response = Invoke-RestMethod $URI -Method 'GET' -Headers $headers $JobsData return $response} 

Is there a rest call to manage credentials in the credentail manager?The ability to retrieve credentials, update credential name etc. ThanksChris.

Is there a way to “Refresh” a token once it has expired? The default time a token lasts is 30 minutes, you can change that but is it possible to simply refresh a token that is expiring? Really just a yes or no question. Thanks.

Good Day,we are facing strange behaviour when trying to disassociate a subclient from a schedule policy using rest-api.One client with multiple filesystem Subclients can be associated to different schedulepolicies. However, when trying to remove the association of just one Subclient for one client we see that to this particular Schedule-Policy is then associated to ALL File-System subclients on this client where we performend the Rest-PUT on.$removeTask = @{"taskInfo"=@{"taskOperation"="5";"associations"=@{"clientName"="$client";"backupsetName"="defaultBackupSet";"appName"="file system"},@{"clientName"="$client";"subclientName"="$subclientname";"backupsetName"="defaultBackupSet";"appName"="file system";"flags"=@{"exclude"=$true}};"task"=@{"task"=@{"taskName"="$schdulepolicy"}}}} | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 5Invoke-RestMethod "$commserver/webconsole/api/Task" -Method Put -Headers $headers -Body $removeTask -ContentType "application/json"Does someone

Has anyone utlilized vREalize to show any of the commvault dashboard metrics into a custom dashboard in vROPS? Curious to see how everyone is integrating the two of them .

You can refresh data-centers from the GUI, is there an equivalent for the REST api?The api explorer has /v2/vsa/hypervisor/clientID/refresh But that seems to only refresh the actual DC list, rather than the VM list.  Basically I want to be able discover a VM that is not currently a part of a subclient. Thanks.Chris.

We have recently started using the “Only Backup files created or modified on and after” option with our subclients.  Its a great feature however I can only seem to set it by going to each server one by one.  Is there a scrip that I can run with a list of servers to set this option for all subclients on that server along with the time zone and date in one go?  We only want to roll this feature out to certain servers in batches, which is why I am hoping there is a scrip to do this.  Thank you for any help you can give.

Is there a way to do an LDAP search from within a workflow?I don’t mean using something like powershell. The Commserve can be configured for LDAP authentication, is there any way to use that same LDAP connection to do a query?  

Hi Team, Is there a way to have two approvers in the authorization workflows(delete job, delete client, delete storage policy workflows etc.)? Until both did not authorize the approval email, deletion should not happen.

Hello Team,I need to fetch data for schedule policy and using below apis *a* and *b* for thathttps://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/48764_rest_api_get_schedule_policy.html. Tried with http://<webservice>/SchedulePolicy on browser but this throws 404 error code.whereas http://<webconsole>/webconsole/api/Schedules?clientId=2 this works fine without any error.Can you please help me with below queries:Are these both a and b api(s) return same data?  Need help on why “404 Not found” message while hitting api ‘a’ on browser? 

Good Day, I have noticed that when Connecting to the Admin Console it throws me a bunch of errors and it displays this “Unable to load the data from server.” Also when trying to access he Console it gives me this web page “HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found.” All services are started and i have rebooted the server aswell.    

I’m at a loss here. I was under the impression that the workflow engine uses Groovy to interpret any java code you enter but some operators fail the syntax check. For example if I attempt to create a list using groovy syntax.def clientlist = []; this will cause a syntax error stating that “[“ is unexpected.Fine I can work around that by doing def clientlist = xpath:{/workflow/select/clients} Where the xpath points to a list, but it will not allow me to do something such as clientlist.each{random stuffmore random stuffadditional random stuff} I don’t mind using Javascript but some things are easier in Java and I kind of assumed that I could just follow Groovy syntax to make sure stuff worked. What am I missing? 

I have just started getting into understanding how the Commvault REST APIs work and the types of data and control that can be done with them.  I imported the collection into Postman, got logged in to the web server OK and can get output from all the basic GET commands, but have not been able to get some POST commands to work yet after trying a few. One that I am interested in working with is POST Testboot (and then also planned and unplanned failovers, so that I may orchestrate multiple failover groups).  The response is: “Request body is empty or format is invalid.”Here is an example of my JSON body:{    "taskInfo": {        "task": {            "taskFlags": {                "disabled": 0            },            "taskType": 1,            "ownerId": 1,            "initiatedFrom": 2,            "sequenceNumber": 0,            "ownerName": "admin"        },        "subTasks

we have some set of weekend backups which is very important for customer. If any backup failures happen, customer want to send the mobile notification to his mobile. is it possible  ??? What options do we have for push notification for backup failure in commvault.  is it possible to send to a cell number?

We use RestAPI to get space usage values of our Libraries in Commvault for reporting purposes, especially Total Capacity, Free Space and Used Space.For Disc Libraries this is no problem, but we’re currently doing testing with S3 Storage as Libraries and there we face an issue with that, as these values can’t be extracted.In the Command Center we see the “Size on disk”With QCommands (qlist media -l) we see the  “TOTAL DATA(GB)” And with RestAPI (GET Library Details) we see “N/A”  Quota on the S3 Bucket has been set,

Hello!I'm using the cvpysdk in order to restore SQL Server databases, but unfortunately I can't find an option to restore out of place and change the name of the database.Maybe someone here faced this issue and can help me with this?

ÜbersetzenHello,I want to automatically write data from reports into a Word document. For example, the number of failed jobs from the backup-job-summary report should be written to a Word document. Is there already a workflow for this or does anyone have an idea how to implement it?

I am sending a  get call from POSTMAN Client to get the backup job summery report for last 24 hrs. it retiring a error with Status: 400 bad request.Followed the below procedure to get the REST API linkLogged in into webconsole→ Report → backup summery report → removed some unwanted fields → click on REST API & copy the link. On Postman client generate the token, create a new HTTP request -pest the link, & pest the token → hit send  I am getting 400 bad request  I can able execute all Commvault REST API - Public -SP24 Commands.

Hi guys! I’m completely new to REST API.I just downloaded the Postman CommVault Rest API Workspace and now I’m trying to start with the basic: authentication. But let’s get one step back to the Swagger UI. Just to exclude any wrong configuration inside Postman. I created a new test user inside the CommCell. This user is member of “master” group, so permissions should not be a problem. If I visit the Swagger UI (https://<webserver>/webconsole/sandbox/apiexplorer) and try the POST Login with this test user I get the message: errLogMessage": "Username/Password are incorrect"Well I’m pretty sure the username and the password is correct. I also tried to encode the password with Base64, but get the same error message. Other users also didn’t work. Also I can see a “Authorize” button on the top right corner. When I click on this button I can provide a Authtoken. But where I get this from? Obviously I’m doing something wrong here

Every now and then (perhaps once a year, usually soon after installing a feature release), I return to the challenge of writing reports in Commvault to report on current status consistent with the way I think. Is there a section of this community that deals with developing custom reports (and dashboards) in more abstract, theoretical ways?I don’t want to be told how to solve a very narrow, specific problem, let alone told of five reports that display similar data; I want to discuss the mechanics of, for example, how to link from one Commvault report, such as one that might sort data by subclient ID, to another Commvault report that displays information relevant to one specific subclient ID. Another time I might want to discuss the various data display widgets in the report writing tools. I try to use Books Online, but I’m almost convinced my brain works differently than the editors of Books Online, so I’m looking for an alternate perspective or

I was trying to google some of the internal workflow entity information and I started to realize that Java itself provides a way of implementing workflows and that there are several third party workflow activity engines. That is to say a way to work on the workflows at a slightly lower level where the XML of the workflow is edited directly. The reason I ask is that I am looking for a way to manage not only the workflows but different reusable bits of the workflows like common SQL queries and custom bits of code for building java objects.If there is a third party engine in use then it becomes much easier to manager these elements. Thanks.Chris.

Hi Team,For trigerring of the File Anomaly alerts is there a specific threshold value for that. Or do we have any additional setting or setting that  we can mention a threshold value to trigger the alerts.Ex: Only when files modified or created or any activity are more then 10000, then only I should receive File Anomaly alert. Please let me know if we have any setting that we can limit this.
