run_repository_job | Teradata DSA Commands - run_repository_job - BAR - Data Stream Architecture

Purpose

The run_repository_job command runs a job in the DSC repository.

DSA 17.02.00 adds replication so your repository backup goes to a landing zone and is then replicated to third party storage.

• The run_repository_job command can only be initiated if no operational jobs are running.
• The -n parameter is no longer supported.
• The -v parameter is only supported for backup jobs when used with the -r parameter. It is also supported for the new replicate job type. It is an optional parameter for restore and analyze jobs. If -v is not entered for a restore or analyze job, it defaults to the latest successful backup job version.
• You do not need to specify a target name for restore or analyze jobs; if you do not, the command takes the target name configured in config_repository_backup.

Syntax

run_repository_job -t|-type Type

run_repository_job -t|-type backup -r|repository_replication rep_tg_name

run_repository_job -v|backup_version

run_repository_job -v|backup_version -n|name

Examples

dsc run_repository_job -t backup

dsc run_repository_job -t backup -r replication-tg-aws (back up repository to landing zone and replicate to target group)

dsc run_repository_job -t replicate-to -r replication-tg-aws -v 157838495 (replicate the particular backup saveset to the target group

dsc run_repository_job -t replicate_from -r replication-tg-aws -v 157838495 (replicate the particular backup saveset from the target group to the landing zone)

Parameters

t|type Type

Enter backup, replicate_to, replicate_from, restore, analyze_validate, or analyze_read.

r|replication_target rep_tg_name

[Optional] Target group for replication. If not specified, backs up the repository only to landing zone.

v|backup_version BackupVersion

[Optional] Backup version number to be replicated to or from third party storage. This number is visible in the backup filename (bar_123456789.out)

If you specify next_incremental_restore, do not specify a backup version number.

Example:  123456789

n|name Name (deprecated)

[No longer supported] The target name for the restore or analyze job. If not specified, the restore will be to the default target group set by the config_repository_backup command.

Example:  No longer supported

u|user_authentication User

Required when security management is enabled. Supplies the command with the Viewpoint user, and triggers a password prompt for authentication.

Permissions required: Administrator

Usage Notes

This command automatically generates backup, restore, and analyze jobs based on the repository backup target group configuration the user created.
