Editing the Associations of Schedule Policies Using the Command Line Interface

You can add, exclude, or delete schedule policy entity associations.

Procedure

1. If you are not logged on to the CommServe computer, run the qlogin command.

2. Download the schedule_policies_edit.xml XML file to the computer where you will run the command.

3. On the command line, go to software_installation_directory/Base, and then type the following commands:

    
   qoperation execute -af schedule_policies_edit.xml -task/taskName schedule_policy_name -taskType SCHEDULE_POLICY -associations/entityentity_name -include 1 | -deleted 1 | -exclude 1 -taskOperation MODIFY

   where -associations/entity entity_name is the entity parameter and the entity name, for example, -associations/clientName client022. You must include the hierarchy above the entity and the entity you want to change. For example, to change a backup set, type -associations/clientName client001 -associations/appName "File System" -associations/backupsetName defaultBackupSet.

   Notes:

   • For information on supported parameters, see XML Parameters for Schedule and Schedule Policy Operations.

   • You can also define parameter values in the schedules_manage.xml file instead of on the command line. For more information on command line parameters and XML elements, see Command Syntax for XML Commands.

4. To log off the CommServe computer, run the qlogout command.

Examples

The following command adds a client computer group association to a schedule policy.

qoperation execute -af schedule_policies_edit.xml -task/taskName SP001 -taskType SCHEDULE_POLICY -associations/clientGroupName Infrastructure -include 1 -taskOperation MODIFY

The following command deletes a client computer group association from the schedule policy.

qoperation execute -af schedule_policies_edit.xml -task/taskName SP001 -taskType SCHEDULE_POLICY -associations/clientGroupName Infrastructure -deleted 1 -taskOperation MODIFY

The following command adds a subclient association to a schedule policy.

qoperation execute -af schedule_policies_edit.xml -task/taskName SP002 -taskType SCHEDULE_POLICY -associations/clientName client001 -associations/appName "File System" -associations/backupsetName defaultBackupSet -associations/subclientName DDBBackup -include 1 -taskOperation MODIFY

The following command adds a File System application association to a schedule policy.

qoperation execute -af schedule_policies_edit.xml -task/taskName SP002 -taskType SCHEDULE_POLICY -associations/clientName client001 -associations/appName "File System" -include 1 -taskOperation MODIFY

After the association with the File System application is made, this command excludes the default backup set from the association.

qoperation execute -af schedule_policies_edit.xml -task/taskName SP002 -taskType SCHEDULE_POLICY -associations/clientName client001 -associations/appName "File System" -associations/backupsetName defaultBackupSet -exclude 1 -taskOperation MODIFY
