Workflow Error Handling

Hi AllI’m trying to come up with a kind a universal Error Handling for Workflows, in particular for ExecuteCommand Activities. Often enough they throw an exitCode > 0 and some commandOutput that may help the User.BUT then there are the times where exitCode is 0 but the outputXml states an error-condition. Tried to check and handle that via OnComplete Scripts.This is where I am stuck. Sometimes the response is generic and has an errorCode and errorString Element to parse, sometimes the errorString is missing, sometimes errorCode is 0 but an warningCode Element is added, but that isn’t returned all the time. Sometimes it’s a longer App_***Response Reply with the issues tucked in somewhere.Anybody know of a generic way to parse through all possible scenarios (mentioned or unmentioned) to catch issues right away, terminate execution and return useful consistent error Messages to User?Thanks,Stefan

Unable to backup a filesystem (subclient content issue) - cvpysdk - Python

Hello,I'm trying to backup a filesystem from a storage array, I noticed that the update of the subclient content using this syntax :subclient.content = ["My_storage_array:/My_Filesystem"]This syntax is not executed correctly, we can write anything in the content even if it is not present in the storage array, no validation is done by commvault.The output of the backup job fails and returns the following error:"File system scan failed - there is nothing to back up. A possible cause is that none of the subclient contents exist.".the code that i'm using to do my backup is bellow :commcell = Commcell('My_commcell', commcell_login ,commcell_password)client = commcell.clients.get('My_storage_array')agent = client.agents.get('My_Agent')backupset = agent.backupsets.get('My_Backupset')backupset.subclients.add("backup_tmp", storage_policy="My_storage_policy")subclient = backupset.subclients.get("backup_tmp")subclient.content = ["My_storage_array:/My_Filesystem"]subclient.enable_backup()job_backu

API Call for client license consumption

Hi guys,is there a easy API call where I get the license consumption for a client?I found this API call:{{ServerUrl}}/Client/{{clientId}}/License But this gives me only the used license type / name e. g.:{    "licensesInfo": [        {            "platformType": 1,            "license": {                "licenseType": 1,                "appType": 33,                "licenseName": "Server File System - Windows File System"            }        },        {            "platformType": 1,            "license": {                "licenseType": 3,                "appType": 81,                "licenseName": "Application Class 1 - SQL Server"            }        }    ]} My goal is to get a output like: clientA is using 200gb of license “Server File System - Windows File System”and clientA is using 100gb of license “Application Class 1 - SQL Server”

CommCell Info and CommCell License API's

Hi everyone. I have had a look through the commands on offer via REST, Python and PowerShell. There doesn’t appear to be anything for CommCell Info/Licensing.  Is there anything for this in the works?
