Before synchronizing job files, verify that the client system has been correctly configured with a current client system. A mismatch between the prior system name of an active system and current system name will accidentally delete the JIR file of the backup job. For example, if the prior system, nbmedia01, was configured as the client system instead of the current system, nbmedia01.teradata.com, nbmedia01.teradata.com will not be found and the JIR file will be deleted.

In the next example, the TARA jobname, BackRestoreTest1a, has four backup jobs. All four jobs no longer have valid NetBackup catalog images and should be removed.



  1. Right-click on the TARA Job Name and select the Synchronize option. A warning displays.

    The Synchronize option searches the NetBackup Catalog for the image name in the range from the year the image was created to the current date.



    If OK is selected, TARA queries the NetBackup image catalog. The TARA backup JobFile is deleted if all streams associated with that job run are no longer in the NetBackup image catalog.

    In this example, all four BackRestoreTest1a job runs do not have any images in the NetBackup catalog. As a result, all four BackRestoreTest1a TARA job runs are deleted.



    Individual TARA job runs can be synchronized also.

  2. [Optional] Right-click on a specific job run you wish to delete if there is no NetBackup catalog image. The Delete option appears.


    A warning displays asking for confirmation before attempting to delete the TARA job run.



    If there are no images associated with any of the streams of the job, the TARA job run is deleted. If there are no more job runs for that specific TARA job name, the TARA job name is no longer displayed.
