Hi all,

A few months ago I came here to be able to restore sql server databases using the API instead of the qcommands

https://community.commvault.com/commvault-setup-guides-and-getting-started-51/run-qoperation-exe-from-remote-server-5379

So I have the xml file to restore the database and I have a STOPAT parameter.

In the xml it shows like this :

            <pointInTime>
              <timeValue>2023-05-19 09:54:04</timeValue>
            </pointInTime>

My xml file works if I run sth like :

qoperation.exe" execute -cs $CVLTServer -af $CVLTXMLFile -tf $CVLTToken

Then it doesn’t if I run :

$cvrestendpoint = "http://$CVLTServer:81/SearchSvc/CVWebService.svc" 
$token = (Get-CVSessionDetail 'Get-CVVersionInfo').sessionToken
$restParameters = @{# Variables for holding rest parameters for the request
    URI     = ""
    Method  = ""
    Headers = @{"Authtoken" = $token;"Accept"    = "application/json"}
    body = ""
}

Get-Variable | Where-Object {$_.name -eq '$xml'} | Remove-Variable
$xml = get-content CVLTXMLFile

        $restParameters.URI                    = $cvrestendpoint + "/ExecuteQCommand"
        $restParameters.Headers.'Content-Type' = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
        $restParameters.Method                 = "POST"
        $restParameters.Body                   = "command=qoperation%20execute&inputRequestXML=" + $xml
        $result                                = Invoke-RestMethod @restParameters
        $result.jobIds

I get the error :

Error Code: /19:861] Description: Killed by . Reason:o]. Source: , Process: JobManager  Query Result >Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ExecutionFailureException:
The specified STOPAT time is too early. All or part of the database is already rolled forward beyond that point.
RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally. An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.]. Source: wesvsqlu001-bkp, Process: SQLRestore  

My sql trace gives me the script run on the instance :

RESTORE LOG bmydb] FROM VIRTUAL_DEVICE = 'c48643e5-05aa-44b2-9328-1cfdd41b3e6e', VIRTUAL_DEVICE = 'c48643e5-05aa-44b2-9328-1cfdd41b3e6e_1' 
WITH NORECOVERY, MAXTRANSFERSIZE=2097152, BLOCKSIZE=65536, BUFFERCOUNT=20, STOPAT = '01-01-1970 01:00:00', REPLACE, ...
go

You’ll note the :

STOPAT = '01-01-1970 01:00:00'

I have tried reformatting the date for different cultures and nothing helps.

It starts to look like a bug.

Anyone can help me here ?

thanks,
