Hi Team, I want to see schedule policy which is assigned or which ran for a VM backup job. From ComcellBackupInfo, i am able to get all the details related to Backup job but only schedule name is not available. Is there any other databse or table using which we can fetch this information.

For those that don’t want to spend a lot of time trying to figure it out, I just figured I would post the basics and then you can have fun exploring for yourself.  It’s not pretty, but should get those not familiar with using the REST API with PowerShell a good base to start. You’ll want to secure the credential section, this is just basic of the basic. It’s not pretty, but should get you started with REST API.  You will need to fix the following in the script below: YOURWEBURL:PORT - Needs updated to your URL and port (if applicable)    ###USING COMMVAULT REST API COMMANDS#####################################################################################################################https://YOURWEBURL:PORT/webconsole/sandbox/apiexplorer###https://documentation.commvault.com/2023/essential/rest_api_overview.html###SETTING UP THE VARIABLES FOR TOKEN REQUEST############################################################################################################$contentType = 'appl

 Does anyone have experience with creating Reports in Command Center using RestAPI?When you schedule a Report in Command Center you have the possibility to have it give you the RestAPI equivalent.By modifying that code to our needs (e.g. different Report name & recipients) we want to create Reports “automatically” with the API.As we need to create many Reports quite often (as we run a Multitenant environment) a potential API usage would save us a lot of time.When I try the POST command with the adjusted JSON payload to the URL mentioned (see screenshot below) it doesn’t work, no error, just nothing happens, so I’m wondering if there is something I’m missing. 

Dear all, I need some help, the client is requesting an automated process for installing agents in commvault, so that on boot he can call this through a package configuration or something like that so that as soon as he starts the VM everything goes up the automatic installation, does commvault have any process of this type? It also needs this configuration for the commserver and media agents. Does the commvault tool have this type of automation?

Hi. I have a workflow in which I am creating a dynamic PopupInput. Here is some pseudo code similar to that what I am using:import commvault.msgs.App.XMLSchema;import commvault.msgs.App.InputControlType;XMLSchema input = new XMLSchema();input.setDefaultValue("Default"); input.setInputName("INPUT1");input.setHidden(false);input.setListType(false);input.setControlType(InputControlType.TEXTBOX);input.setDisplayName("Display Name");input.setRequired(false);activity.getForm().getEntries().add(input);This works well so far. But I am struggling to get the output of the PopupInput because the entry “INPUT1” seems to not exist. I tried a few things within a “Script” activity or even in the OnComplete Script of the PopupInput. For example I iterated through “activity.getForm().getEntries()” but the entry “INPUT1” did not exist. But nothing has been working.Does anybody know how to get the value of my entry? (Remember: That is just pseudo code. In reality I am generating  many input fields comple

Hey,we updated from 11.28 to 11.32.38.We have Monitoring Check for “Backup Copy” Jobs, and after the update to 11.32 not working, because via REST API Endpoint the “Backup Copy” Jobs are not shown anymore.Endpoint: https://<serverURL>/webconsole/api/Job?clientId=62On 11.28 the “Backup Copy” Jobs were show beside all other Jobs for the Client, but on 11.32.38 it is not shown anymore.On this Forum Topic:, it was discussed for 11.28 as an issue and could be workaround by adding:&hideAdminJobs=false  to the APi Call, but this doesnt help in 11.32→ no Backup Copy Jobs are shown.Can this be checked internally with Dev Team if there were a change or maybe known issue?Thx & Best RegardsMarcel

Hi community. I would like to know how I can dynamically create a PopupInput with java code. Example use case: At first I fill a variable (list) with values (e.g. from a db query). Let’s assume the value of this variable is: Value1, Value2, Value3. Now I need to ask the for information for each single value with a PopupInput like in the screenshot below.   I would guess that I need to start like this:import commvault.cte.workflow.dom.WorkflowElement;WorkflowElement PopupInput = WorkflowElement.parse(... But honestly I have no idea how to continue from here on. Best regardsPasqual
