Hello,

I want to backup some exchange database 2016 from a workflow.

I use at the workflow QCommands - Operation - Backup and see there are two kinds of dataagent’s

Q_MSEX2K_DB

Q_MSEX2003_DB

At the CommServe with qlist datagent -c Clientname we receive:
Q_MSEXCH_DB

When I use Q_MSEXCH_DB at the workflow I receive the following error:
No enum constant workflow.types.cmd.DataAgent.Q_MSEXCH_DB

When I use Q_MSEX2003_DB at the workflow the backup works.
Can anyone tell me what is the difference between Q_MSEXCH_DB and Q_MSEX2003_DB and why I cannot use Q_MSEXCH_DB at the workflow?

We use CV 11.21.20.

regards Roland

Have you compared the workflow command to the output of a "Save As" script? https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11/article?p=45435.htm

Hey @Roland !  @Anthony.Hodges has good advice for finding the command line script for almost any action.

For your Exchangge client, is it 2k, 2k3, or higher?  The differences seem to indicate versioning, though ideally I want to find something concrete for you.

I’ll look for more documentation on the various iDA choices as well.

Hello,

@Anthony.Hodges 

I have done a "Save as script" but I don’t find any entry with Q_MSxxx. Thanks it was an good idea.

@Mike Struening 

I know it can be done with  "Save as Script" and use the workflow
qcommands - operation - execute (After than I can use the script as inputxml) but maybe you will find something else. 

It would be easier if it worked at other way. Always depends on the number of subclients which have to backup.

Roland,

We will enhance this  Feature pack 

For now please continue to use the Q_MSEX2003_DB.
