My executive want me to print out an “easy to read” report of all server that we back up, with the run schedule and storage retention. Does such a report sound possible? I am playing with the reports that have not found anything I could give an executive...thanks

I want to use Delinea secret server to manage password rotation for the local admin account. As I did not find a plug-in like CyberArk, I want use API command https://<-serverhost->/webconsole/api/User/AccountManagementHas this anyone already in use? I got ever the following error : <Api_GenericResp errorMessage="Invalid respose recevied" errorCode="1" /><Response [500]>regards  JuergenV.11.32.76

Se we back up most of our servers and I feel comfortable that we are pretty well protected but management is looking for a single report that displays ALL servers that are backed up, their retention cycle and how often each server is backed up Is such as report possible. We are looking to keep it as simple as possible but list every server so that list can be compared to our complete master lit of servers that exist

We recently upgraded to 11.36 and quite a few workflows are now having issues. One thing I noticed is that embedded XML is not being properly evaluated it when I look at in in the debugger. I have the instance properties stored in a map and in the XML I extract the properties, which I assume should be evaluated at runtime. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><App_UpdateInstancePropertiesRequest> <association> <entity> <instanceId>java:{workflow.getVariable("instanceProp").get("instanceId")}</instanceId> </entity> </association> <instanceProperties> <instance> <instanceId>java:{workflow.getVariable("instanceProp").get("instanceId")}</instanceId> </instance> <oracleInstance> <useCatalogConnect>true</useCatalogConnect> <catalogConnect> <userName>java:{workflow.getVariable("instanceProp").get("oracleSID")}</userName> <domainName>xpath:{/workflow/confi

Hi, could you please help me with this? We are using the following workflow already preconfigured in Commvault: Demo - Client Group Policy. We need to automatically change the Storage Policy of the SQL Job on a daily basis to meet the copy requirements. The only customization we need is to modify the workflow so that it changes the Storage Policy on all SQL instances and not just the first instance. I really appreciate your support! ​@Mike Struening  @chrisknows can you help me please? 🙏🏻😳

Greetings, We have a Commvault in our demo environment and we want to see commvault event report in our zabbix interface, i’m kinda new to both zabbix and commvault, is there a article i can follow step-by-step and is there a easy way to set it up this function because recent topics about zabbix monitoring is not up to date. Thanks.

Hi Communitydoes anyone have a custom report they are willing to share that shows only synthetic_full backups that have failed in the last week?More specifically i am looking for a report that outputs just a list of servers with failed synthetic jobs over that last week. nothing else.with the standard reports it shows all sorts of information, like generated on date, or report criteria, and all sorts of details that makes it very difficult (not to say impossible) to convert into a ticket.

I wanted to discuss the backup process for our Oracle dump files in the Linux environment. Specifically, can we configure a script to trigger the backup automatically after the dump file is created?

We are Service Provider and our Dev Team is writing a new Monitoring Script for monitoring the Backup Status of all Backups for each Server for the last 24 hours.They want to use the Python SDK. The Skript is working fine, only problem is to get a list of all virtual machines, because if a Server has no CV Agent installed and has only VSA Backup it is not in the Client list.So my question is, is there an easy way to get all virtual machine names of all hypervisors listed with the Python SDK, we found no sub-modul doing that. Thanks for any help and Best RegardsMarcel 

Helloi would like retire client and job for that is in waiting status - Error code: [19:857]Description: waiting on user input [Retire agent [ DB -> Windows File System ] requested by [ admin ]]Source: cs-vm, Process: WorkflowAt monitoring - approvals no items here, no open approvals.Pavel

Hello,I created an access token in the CV portal via “Security->Users->Access tokens->Add token” and the “Scope” was selected to “All”. However, when i tried to use the access token to send an API request like below, the server returned “Missing or invalid authorization header!”. GET /v4/fileservers HTTP/1.1Accept: application/jsonAuthorization: Bearer QSDK <access token generated in the portal>Host: api.metallic.ioConnection: keep-alive Appreciate if anyone knows how to use the access token.

Hi all,I am trying to create a custom workflow in my Commvault SaaS tenant (https://m100.metallic.io/). However, i couldn’t find this feature available in the navigator? Is workflow feature only available for on premise version of Commvault?

I’m looking at creating a sharepoint client through API. In 11.32 we had to do some manual steps with App-permissions. This does not seem to be nessescary any more in 11.36.However, documentations describes uploading a certificate in the app registration. The api-documentation does not provide a way to do this as far as I can see.https://api.commvault.com/docs/SP36/api/cv/OpenAPI3/create-sharepoint-client/How can we upload this certificate through the API?

Friends,We want to do a cleanup within our Credentials Vault and therefore I need to find out what MSSQL instances are using what credentials.Via Protect - Databases, you can see in the Overview tab the option “SQL server authentication”.Here you can override the Impersonate User on instance level. I want to do a check on these settings. How can I find the used credentials using REST API? Here you can set it for a new MSSQL instance, but I want to look this up and if possible update.https://api.commvault.com/docs/SP36/api/cv/MSSQL_API/add-mssql-instance/Thanks in advance,Maurice

Friends, I would like to set the SQL Server Authentication on client level using REST. If I request the client info using `/client/:clientid`, I see within `clientProperties.pseudoClientInfo.idaInfo.sql61Prop` the override switch and the MSSQLCredentialinfo. I tried simply to get the client info, update what I want to update and post this back. The response is 0, but nothing is changed. Does someone knows how I can update this? Thanks in advance, Maurice

Hi Team,We are trying to automate commvault backups and restore process.We need to backup SQL server instances and databases.Created server plan and we have database and instances added it to command center. I also associated a single database using instructions from here: https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/essential/associating_plan_with_sql_database.htmlBut I am not able to see any equivalent API for this that I can leverage to automate the process.

Hi,we have an issue with compliance search. When I click on the email, on  the right side should be a preview of that email. Instead of the preview we just get the following information “error has been occured while previewing” see picture below. It is in German, but I have translated it for you.   In the log file DM2WEB.log we just see a short error message, that there is an error in the Microsoft .NET Framework while trying to load assembly id… (see picture below). And nothing else. So it doesn’t bring us forward and we don’t really know what and where to check to solve that issue. Our hope is the smart Commvault Community, which can help us hopefully. We would appreciate it.

Hello dear Commvault Communiy,I have a question about the CommCell split. I hope there is someone here who has done a CommCell split before.We installed a second CommServe, got two AuthCodes from Commvault (each for a CommServe) and exported the Files via CommCell Migration. When importing the filed into a new CommServe, an error occurs with the code (106:3). There is hardly anything to be found in the logs. Can anyone do something with the error code? 

Hi Team, How can I query the last backup date of a Vmware VM?According to the checks I made, the GUID of the VM related to the API named VMs is determined first. Then, with this GUID, we can access the information of the specific VM using the API named VM Details. Would this way be correct? Is there a shorter way you suggest ?

Is it possible to update or create TAGs for any client system? As we are all FORCED to start using the CommandCenter, and Descriptions on VMs are not currently possible, I was hoping to leverage TAGs to help identify key systems, decommissions, Services, etc. However, I do not see ANY docs that reference TAGs from the command line. Any ideas? Sonny

Does the information below in the report (see red square) mean that the backup size from that particular media agent is over 18TB?  

Hi all, I’m looking for a little bit of assistance. I’m trying to build a custom report for our monitoring needs, the issue is I’m not sure how to filter out data received by an API Call. For example: I add a dataset > HTTP > Rest API: /JobThe above returns me all the jobs, how do I filter jobs that ran on a particular date? Is there any tool I can use in the dashboard creator itself? Thanks a lot for any suggestions.

I am calling ‘/Job’ API with different offset and a 5000 limit to get all the backup jobs from commserve. However, I don’t need all the fields and only job status, id, time and a few others. Is there any way I can limit the fields returned in the API?

to joing 2 simple thing ….i want to see job from particular SP and connected media (tapes) to it ...i have jobs in SP and media ..but how to connect them :)  sub-question is any dictionary with CV tables / views with  info what fields is about ….or better how they are joined as keys between tables ?

When I change a client description using the following code: commcell = Commcell(commvault_server, authtoken=token)client_name = 'cvclient001'new_description = 'Test Client zero-one'client = commcell.clients.get(client_name)client_properties = client.propertiesclient_properties['client']['clientDescription'] = new_descriptionclient.update_properties(client_properties)I noticed that advanced settings changed from Another client group to This Object:Settings before I ran the script:  After I ran the script (description was updated but also:  And in the audit trail report I saw: I dont think that modifying a description should result in an extra Additional Setting.Therefor I added an issue on github, but that isnt noticed (yet ?).
